I don't think I can claim to have actually posted this but it has definitely come up as a scenario...after all, the original British-appointed kings of jordan and iraq were cousins or something (Hashemites) -- basically they were the rivals of the Sauds in Arabia and got Jordan/Iraq as consolation prizes... but my bet currently is on whichever republican guard general takes the bait and whacks saddam (as I think I have previously said here)... the Musharraf of Iraq.
