Saudi Arabia threaten to join war (?)

So all the arming of the Saudi's by the US and training (if I remember correctly) by the RAF has left Saudi Arabia as just easy pickings?
Saudi Arabia are safe from being attacked by other neighbours (eg Iraq, Iran, anyone else) - primarily because of their defence treaties with the US - and have enough hardware to show off a bit and maybe deal with small scale insurgency.

However they couldn't really attack anyone, especially not Israel.

Are you sure about this?

They have been severely pissed off about and critical of Hezbollah, not least because of the Iranian/Shia connection.
Indeed. It was a very surprising statement, so I'm wondering who the intended listeners are.
