These relations evolved under conditions in which both countries understood and valued the need for cooperation, but also were aware of its limits and the dangers of too close a partnership. U.S. security dealings with Saudi Arabia are an extreme, perhaps unique, case of how security ties unfolded under conditions in which sensitivities to those ties were always a central —oftentimes dominating—consideration. This was especially true in the most delicate area of military assistance. Distinct patterns of behavior by the two countries emerged as a result, patterns that continue to this day. This dissertation examines the first twenty years of the U.S.-Saudi military assistance relationship. It seeks to identify the principal factors responsible for how and why the military assistance process evolved as it did, focusing on the objectives and constraints of both U.S.

  • The Khobar Towers Bombing Incident
    PRESS RELEASE House National Security Committee Floyd D. Spence, Chairman Contact: Maureen Cragin FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Ryan Vaart August 14, 1996 (202) 225-2539 STATEMENT OF CHAIRMAN FLOYD D. SPENCE ON THE REPORT ON THE BOMBING OF KHOBAR TOWERS “In the wake of the June 25 bombing of the American compound at Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, the House Committee on National Security sent a delegation of professional staff members to Saudi Arabia to conduct a preliminary investigation of the incident. “Although the professionalism and courage of the men and women who suffered this terrible disaster is apparent and should be a source of pride for all Americans, the bombing raises issues of intelligence failures and operational deficiencies that at least suggest that military leaders and policymakers were unaware of the potential risks that U.S. service personnel faced in Saudi Arabia. “First, as the report indicates, the performance of the troops living in Khobar Towers and stationed in the Dhahran area was superb. As a result of the rapid reaction of the Air Force Special Police who observed the bomb-laden truck and immediately began to evacuate the building, as well as the efforts of doctors, medical personnel and soldiers to save lives, a much larger tragedy was almost certainly averted. “But individual professionalism and heroism during the bombing cannot obscure larger problems that may have contributed to the unpreparedness of U.S. troops in the face of a serious terrorist threat. Intelligence failures left the military personnel in Khobar Towers, as well as the 4404th wing’s leaders, largely unaware of the magnitude of the threat they faced.

Today, the Eastern Province is dubbed “The Industrial Capital of the Entire Gulf” for its enormous industrial activities. And it is evident when this region has become the biggest recipient of industrial capital investments of the Kingdom. 22 Economic Development Prospects for the Eastern Province With the support from the recently launched “Saudi Vision 2030”, the Eastern Province has taken a key role in the Kingdom’s drive to diversify its income away from oil. Most of the manufacturing industries such as petrochemicals, chemicals, steel, cement, aluminum and plastics are located in the region. These industries are mainly based in the Dammam-I, II and III industrial estates, Al Ahsa-I and II industrial estates, Hafr Al-Batin industrial estate and Jubail-I and II industrial cities.

  • From Exclusivism to Accommodation: Doctrinal and Legal Evolution of Wahhabism
    NEW YORK UNIVERSITY LAW REVIEW VOLUME 79 MAY 2004 NUMBER 2 COMMENTARY FROM EXCLUSIVISM TO ACCOMMODATION: DOCTRINAL AND LEGAL EVOLUTION OF WAHHABISM ABDULAZIZ H. AL-FAHAD*t INTRODUCTION On August 2, 1990, Iraq attacked Kuwait. For several days there- after, the Saudi Arabian media was not allowed to report the invasion and occupation of Kuwait. When the Saudi government was satisfied with the U.S. commitment to defend the country, it lifted the gag on the Saudi press as American and other soldiers poured into Saudi Arabia. In retrospect, it seems obvious that the Saudis, aware of their vulnerabilities and fearful of provoking the Iraqis, were reluctant to take any public position on the invasion until it was ascertained * Copyright © 2004 by Abdulaziz H.

  • Desert Shield June 28, 2016 Page 37
    GW-2 Desert Shield June 28, 2016 Page 37 Chapter Two: Desert Shield: The Historical Framework1 The Gulf War occurred in the midst of a radical change in the balance of power that shaped the world after 1945. It was the first major conflict of the post-Cold War era, and the first time since World War II that the US and Russia cooperated in a major effort to repel aggression. It established a broad coalition between the West and Arab states that demonstrated the potential ability of cooperative defense to repel aggression and execute peace enforcement. While Bosnia and Somalia have already demonstrated that the Gulf War will scarcely be a paradigm for all future peacemaking operations, the Gulf War does indicate the potential that international peacekeeping and cooperative security can have when nations perceive their vital strategic interests are at stake -- even when this involves high intensity conflict. There are many lessons that can be learned from the history of the war, and this includes the preparation for the conflict. Iraq's invasion of Kuwait reveals important lessons about strategic warning and deterrence. The international reaction to Iraq's invasion tells much about the process of coalition building and the strengths and limits of the UN. At the same time, the changes in Coalition and Iraqi forces tell much about both power projection and the forces that shaped the outcome of the war. Iraq: Guns, Butter, and Bankruptcy There was nothing inevitable about Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. It came at a time when Iraq had emerged from the Iran-Iraq war with greatly enhanced status and prestige.
