Could very well be MamaD. I also wouldn't be surprised as the U.S. tends to do whatever the Saudis ask for as, I believe, our various administrations over the past few decades are willing to be held hostage, in a sense, via Saudi oil. Bob Baer wrote a very detailed and informative book on the subject.

I agree - and I'd add the word "quite" in front of the word "willing."
