I don't get what this question is about.
~~Go read the text of the 2001 and 2002 AUMFs. It will become clear.~~

September 18th, 2001 AUMF
That same day NYT printed an article saying Bush wanted Bin Laden Dead or Alive. So everyone knew exactly which country was being talked about. It was made broad though so AQ couldn't just go hide elsewhere.

I think that one is pretty self explanatory.
Iirc, there were 11? Saudis on that plane, 2 Iraqis. When planes were grounded and couldn't fly into or out of the USA, the Saudi royalty and entouragewere allowed to fly out. Then there was Bandi Bush.
Who were members of Al Qaeda, not the Saudi military.
