So is Saudi Arabia actually going to send their own soldiers and weapons to disintegrate ISIS? Or will they do like they always do, get proxies to fight their wars and pay mercenaries to defend themselves.

The US needs better "friends".

Saudis, like most everyone else, needs American leadership to go into a serious fight. During Desert Storm, in the coalition of GHW Bush, the Saudi air force was active, one of their pilots being credited with the first shoot down of an Iraqi fighter.

Hussein was Sunni as well, as I recall.
