WTF?
The White House, in a rare public retort Thursday, rejected the king's characterization of U.S. troops in Iraq as an "illegitimate foreign occupation," saying the United States was not in Iraq illegally.
"The United States and Saudi Arabia have a close and cooperative relationship on a wide range of issues," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said. "And when it comes to the coalition forces being in Iraq, we are there under the U.N. Security Council resolutions and at the invitation of the Iraqi people."
I must've missed the SC resolution calling for a unilateral decision to invade Iraq, or when the White House got bombarded with letters from Iraq, inviting an army over for a few years.

Actually, even when u receive an invitation from an arab, it's usually for a period up to 3 days : accomodation, food, and company(nthg to do with Borat's sister approach)will be provided :)) but now it's been 4 years already, and who knows how many are still to go !!

If you're going to decide legality based on the SC/UN, you should know that the UN recognizes the current Iraqi government as legitimate. And as the current government of Iraq has requested the US be in Iraq, it's tough to make a case that the US is there illegally.
