Levin's suggestions have some merit. If we can conduct our necessary missions based elsewhere, then there's no reason not to. The Saudis are bad hosts, ungrateful recipients of aid, and only barely friendly. They need us, probably, more than we need them; so why not leave them out to dry?

We have a foot hold in Saudi Arabia, so lets just double, triple, quadruple our presence there. Force a coup and this war will be over except for the extended deprogramming and secularization of the country.
