Obama Begins To Abandon "Saudi Arabia"

US cancels weapons transfer to Saudi Arabia in protest of Yemen campaign
.

(AFP) Obama’s administration has canceled the transfer of some munitions to ally Saudi Arabia, amid anger about the civilian death toll from the Kingdom’s campaign in Yemen.
.
“We have made clear that US security cooperation is not a blank check,” a senior administration official told AFP.
.
“Consequently, we have decided to not move forward with some foreign military sales (FMS) cases for munitions,” the source said.
.
“This reflects our continued, strong concerns with the flaws in the coalition’s targeting practices and overall prosecution of the air campaign in Yemen.”
.

My comments:  This is more Obama hypocrisy at its max. After having lost the election to Donald Trump and just weeks away from Trump's swearing in on Jan 20th 2017 the Obama administration decides to cut the shipment of "some" munitions to Saudi Arabia.
.
For the past year the US has not only been supplying cluster bombs and white phosphorus weapons to Saudi Arabia but more importantly the US Airforce has been providing aerial refueling to every Saudi bombing mission over Yemen. And the Saudis have been paying billions of dollars to the US Airforce for these refueling services.
.
My reading is that this 'cutting off munitions supply' is simply Donald Trump's transition team telling Obama to cool it with regards to Saudi Arabia.  
.
We can already see what Donald Trump's  policy will be towards Saudi Arabia and their unprovoked attack against Yemen.  
.

It is most likely that Trump will cut off the US Airforce's refueling services - without which the Saudi bombing of Yemen will stop.
