The American Friends Service Committee published a report on August 8, 1990, which argued that Iraq would not continue past Kuwait to the Saudi oil fields for five reasons: (1) Iraq and Saudi Arabia had been coordinating oil pricing policies in opposition to Kuwait; (2) Iraq needed time to absorb Kuwait; (3) Saudi Arabia's military forces were larger and more capable than Kuwait's; (4) Iraqi supply lines would become overstretched and vulnerable to air attack; and (5) An attack on Saudi Arabia would prompt military intervention by the United States and other countries.
