Saudi is not a US ally, it's royal family likes our money but the country is the birthplace of Islamic extremism, the average Saudi hates everything the west stands for, Jordan and Egypt are not much better, given the relative instability of all of these countries they are just as likely to be implacable enemies in a few months time.
You make a huge mistake thinking the thugs in charge of a country are either telling the truth or represent their people.
As long as we can blow them to hell or buy their oil they will acquiesce but that doesn't mean they like us.
