ENGEL (1:58): I know several people in the US military who were taken by surprise by this [action in Yemen]. Senior officials who would have been expected to know that there was going to be an operation in Yemen, they didn’t. They were finding out about it almost in real time.
And they believe, and some US members of Congress believe, that the reason Saudi Arabia and other states didn’t tell the US that it was going to launch this war against Shi’ite backed, or Iranian-backed rebels in Yemen, is because Saudi Arabia and other countries simply don’t trust the United States anymore, don’t trust this administration — think the administration is working to befriend Iran to try and make a deal in Switzerland, and therefore didn’t think that the intelligence frankly would be secure.
I think that is a situation that is quite troubling for US foreign policy, where traditional allies — like Saudi Arabia, like Egypt, like the United Arab Emirates — don’t know if the US is reliable at this stage to hold onto this information when it comes to Iran.

But Saudi Arabia in some ways is our enemy anyways especially after they brought 9/11 and supported ISIS.

Here come the Obamaites!
So now Saudi Arabia is the enemy and Iran is our closest friend. Pure nonsense and it just shows, some people will follow Obama off of a cliff if he lead them there.
It's the same with some Republicans who still to this day support Nixon.
This is why non violent sociopaths are attracted to areas like politics, Wall Street and the pulpit. This is where they can blindly control the most people.

How about we just get out of the ME all together? Did we learn nothing from SE Asia?

Is Saudi Arabia perfect? Is Egypt perfect? NO, but Iran is 100 times worse

And you should care about the Saudi Arabia why?
The 9/11 Hijackers were from Saudi Arabia and Yemen
