It seems the Saudis are sick of the fat paedo. Apparently they refused to allow the US bases in Saudi to be used for Operation Freedom and they closed their air space to US jets meaning the operation to save the world had to be cancelled after less than a day.

Saudi Arabia and Kuwait 'lift restrictions on US use of bases and airspace'
Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have lifted restrictions on US military use of bases and airspace linked to operations around the Strait of Hormuz, the Wall Street Journal reports.
It clears a key obstacle for the US effort to restart escorted commercial shipping operations through the key waterway.
The US had paused Project Freedom, not long after it started, with the operation relying heavily on Saudi and Kuwaiti bases and airspace due to the large number of US aircraft protecting ships.
Speaking earlier this week, US defence secretary Pete Hegseth said a "powerful red, white and blue dome" had been established over the Strait of Hormuz.
"American destroyers are on station, supported by hundreds of fighter jets, helicopters, drones and surveillance aircraft, providing 24/7 overwatch for peaceful commercial vessels," he added.
The lifting of Saudi and Kuwaiti restrictions could also increase the range of options available to the US if Donald Trump wants to restart the bombing, something he has previously vowed if no deal is agreed with Iran.
