The relationship between the US and the Saudi royal house began in the 1950's when George Bush senior began an oil company in Saudi Arabia and this has continued to this day. Later, bases were added and the US Military has trained men and sold planes to the Saudi. In the 1970's the Saudi royals helped banks and prominent people pull out of the savings and loans meltdown. They invested in the banking system and have a large percentage of money in it today. The close relationship to the Bush family also still exists. Prince Bandar has a room in the Bush family home.

Plus it is good to stay friends with a country that supplies us with a lot of crude oil.
