This proves the guilty act, but not necessarily the guilty mind. Appeasing Saudi Arabia does not necessarily mean endorsing Wahhabism. The US wanted to maintain a "good" relationship with Saudi Arabia for economical reasons and prevent a dictator from going even more wild. However, in the US's naiveté, it has led to the growth of Wahhabism. Overall, it's more of the US being very oblivious to the long-term repurcussions than the US having the actual intent of promoting Islamization. We see the same pattern with Afghanistan and Iraq.
There's also the possible scenario where the US was aware of the situation, but didn't believe that widespread Islamization would occur. So again, naiveté.

Well, they should know by now, yet they're still close allies with Saudi Arabia.

I think it's because the US is still very dependent on foreign oil. If the US is energy independent, I highly doubt they will still be allies with Saudi Arabia.
