Saddam’s attack on Saudi Arabia after he seized Kuwait

At that time, Saudi Arabia seemed to have thousands of US Marines. If Saddam Hussein attacked Saudi Arabia after he captured Kuwait, could he completely occupy Saudi Arabia before the massive support of the US military? I really want to see Scuds vs. DF-3.
If Saddam completely occupied Saudi Arabia, what would the Gulf War look like? How much does the United States have to pay to defeat Saddam? For example, does the United States want to concentrate on amphibious forces for a second Normandy?
 
Saudi Arabia is huge. Even if the Saudi military would have trouble to effectively resist the Iraqi Army, the distances involved alone (let alone the terrain, which is... not very favourable to a speedy invasion, to put it mildly) mean that full occupation will take time, and that the US and other could intervene, probably before Iraqis are at Riyadh.

Just advance towards the eastern provinces , name the operation " Al-Abbas" incite shiite rebellion there like the qatif uprising

Focus is to destroy infrastructure and not to occupy areas

Have Yemeni forces attack the border towns in the SW
Mine the jeddah harbor

Once in east KSA use mobile TEL scud to launch missiles at Riyadh

Saudis have 60 F15 so dont risk your airforce too much
