Brother, you are clueless. This isn't some simple game where you can be cut and dried about who your friends and enemies are. Smart players will extract as much as they can from the Saudis prior to turning against them. Right now, like it or not, we need the Saudis to help hunt down domestic born Al Qaeda, to change their kids literature, to stabilize the oil price, and a host of other things, while we deal with the tougher nuts to crack like Iran.

Even the U.S. can't take on the whole world in one go. We have to perform triage.

However, the Saudis are at least cooperating with us right now.

The Bush idea is not to be allies with country's that "cooperate with us". It is to promote freedom and liberty throughout the world, and the Saudis are amongst the least free people on the planet. The goal is not peace and stability, it is freedom, and Bush is willing to fight to liberate non-free peoples.

Or maybe I'm just taking him at his word too much....
