It has nothing to do with Saudi Arabia being upset with us. This would be a betrayal of people who put their lives on the line as much or more than our soldiers did for America.

The Muslims in question did quite a lot. In return for America's protection they openly turned on their extremist neighbors and translated for US troops. They did this at great risk to their lives. If America betrays them there will be no hope for such cooperation again.
here is a different article that says all the same things.

There is such a mechanism, and it's described in the article. But its conditions are so onerous many translators will be left to be killed by extremists.
