I wasn't aware that the U.S. military is supposed to be at the beck and call of Islamic governments all over the Middle East.

I do commend you for being honest, though. I contend that the U.S. military has been functioning as the de facto armed forces of powerful royal families in the Middle East for years. This is why, for example, the role of the Saudi royals in the 9/11 attacks has never been objectively assessed.
