WASHINGTON, Nov 29 (Reuters) - Using money, weapons or its oil power, Saudi
Arabia will intervene to prevent Iranian-backed Shi'ite militias from
massacring Iraqi Sunni Muslims once the United States begins pulling out of
Iraq, a security adviser to the Saudi government said on Wednesday.

Nawaf Obaid, writing in The Washington Post, said the Saudi leadership was
preparing to revise its Iraq policy to deal with the aftermath of a
possible U.S. pullout, and is considering options including flooding the
oil market to crash prices and thus limit Iran's ability to finance Shi'ite
militias in Iraq.

"To be sure, Saudi engagement in Iraq carries great risks -- it could
spark a regional war. So be it: The consequences of inaction are far
worse," Obaid said.
