Just to make it clear to everyone: The US has done a really good job of (I assume deliberately) screwing the Saudis over the last couple of years. Firstly the Iran agreement has shown them nothing is off the table, secondly the US shale oil has given the US maneuvering room by crashing the oil market, and finally this set of "leaks" is showing the Saudis that they had better fall in line.

Exactly what the US wants isn't clear to me though. Maybe cutting off funds to ISIS?
