It was the two Bush administrations -- not Obama -- that p!ssed away hundreds of billions of dollars and thousands of American lives over 15 years for the sole purpose of propping up Islamic royal families in places like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, while overthrowing one of the few governments in the Middle East (the Ba'athist regime in Iraq) that actually had Christians serving in high-ranking government positions.
If an American government was hell-bent on eradicating Christianity from the Middle East, it couldn't implement a more effective course of action than what was done under those two Bush @ssholes.
Except that it was stable when Bush left office, as Peters points out. It wasn’t Bush’s fault that Obama didn’t negotiate a SOFA. If Bush had had a responsible successor, things could have turned out very differently.
No there were broader geopolitical considerations than Kuwaiti and Saudi royal families. We overthrew Saddam because he was a brutal thug. Granted he was our thug and he did have support Christians under his rule. The problem is that there are no good solutions in the Middle East, either you have authoritarian allies like the Saudis or fundamentalists like Iran. Or alternatively, Assad, Saddam, etc. Or anarchy (ISIS).

What would you have done instead?
Just as an FYI, our support for the House of Saud predates Bush 41 by a few decades. For example, see ELF ONE and the US Military Training Mission to Saudi Arabia (est. 1953)
