I get the Saudis spend a lot of money on our politicians. And I get Trump has private interests (or has tried to have) in SA. And they have a large impact on gas prices.

None of those are causes for us to get into our ... hell, I'm losing count, fourth?... warfront using US soldiers and resources. And tax dollars. I agreed with Trump five years ago when he said SA should fight their own wars. I still agree with that. Someone we don't like bombing a resource of someone we shouldn't like is no reason to spend billions fighting the former. Or the latter. 

But, hey, if it was me, I'd have done what we've said we were going to do for 15(ish) years and bug out of the ME. Stop wasting tax dollars and maybe strengthen the economy so the next time we need to fight a war, we can effectively.

You misunderstand.  I'm all for minimal to zero US interventionism.  I'd pull out of Afghanistan and Iraq tomorrow, in full, given my choice.  That doesn't mean I'm not ok with us bloodying the nose of a disgusting theocratic state sponsor of terrorism and piracy given sufficient provocation.
