The Saudi ambassador, Mr. Jubeir, has long been courting members of Congress who could pressure the administration to get more involved in Syria. He found early support from Republican Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.

Mr. Petraeus in mid-2012 won White House approval to provide intelligence and limited training to Syrian rebels at the base, including in the use of arms provided by others. Saudi and Jordanian agents began vetting the fighters to be trained, said Arab diplomats and a former U.S. military official.
Prince Bandar has largely stayed out of Washington but held meetings with U.S. officials in the region. One was in September 2012. Sens. McCain and Graham, who were in Istanbul, met him in an opulent hotel suite on the banks of the Bosporus.
Mr. McCain said he made the case to Prince Bandar that the rebels weren’t getting the kinds of weapons they needed, and the prince, in turn, described the kingdom’s plans. The senator said that in succeeding months he saw “a dramatic increase in Saudi involvement, hands-on, by Bandar.”

They jammed this through before the election for a reason.
Other countries being able to sue us? What if some international court says that the families of people blown up in Iraq can sue the U.S in world court...
At least that’s pretty much the only thing (not that I agree with it, or wouldn’t say ‘you and what army’), but the only thing I can think of.
That and pissing off the Saudis, but since those bastards want to kill us eff ‘em.
Fact that OPEC voted to cut output for the first time, just after the Senate voted?
