They clearly have something to hide. Once again, Trump was right |

The Bin laden, Bush and Saudi's go back decades, they're all pals and business partners. So does the Bush family and the Taliban. In fact, a few moths after George Bush became president Colin Powell announced $43 million dollar gift to the Taliban which made the Bush administration the Taliban's single largest financial backer - imagine paying our enemies millions of dollars, so they could continue the war against us. But this is not a first for the Bush dynasty - who has been secretly subverting our government since the early 1930s. |

Bu*****t. They wouldn't. All the US has to do is tip the balance of power and it will scare them sh**less. |

After selling their US Treasury bonds, the Saudis could buy Venezuela's bonds to help their OPEC friends............

The Saudi selloff is a defensive move, attempting to shield its US investments from being frozen pending the settlement of the 9/11 lawsuit, should it get to court and the plaintiffs prevail. Dumping Treasury bonds on the market could have the effect of lowering their price, i.e. reducing the yield. No harm to the US which is selling all the bonds it wants to at giveaway prices. The capital thus freed would be a big step forward in the new Saudi plan to diversify its economy. The royal family might benefit from being seen as stepping away from its American partnership -- at least in the Arab world. The fact is that the kingdom and its royal family are in deep trouble politically, militarily and economically. KSA as we know it has only a few years left. The big question is: when it goes, how much will Iran benefit? The answer: probably a lot, which is why the US is already backing away from the Saudis and making nice with Iran. |

So was the GHW Bush presidential library - juniors presidential library donations have remained largely secreative about foreign donations. But it's likely the Saudis donated to both Bush's presidential libraries. Especially considering they cost over 200 million each, with juniors library topping 300 million. Who does George Bush think he is, Donald Trump?

Funding libraries doesn't kill anyone. The top KSA officials were careful to have no involvement with Qaeda in the US. However, mid-level officials on the diplomatic staff and workers in a government-funded mosque in Los Angeles were open supporters of Qaeda and provided direct support to the 9/11 Qaeda team in the USA, providing money, housing, transportation, help getting into flight scholl and other critical acts. Did the top officials know and just turned a blind eye towards OBL, whose religious beliefs were strongly supported by the establish Wahhabi mosque of KSA? That's what the 28 pages make unmistakablly clear and what the royal family is fighting desperately to keep from the American pea pull. |

Senate approves Sept. 11 legislation despite Saudi threats http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/senate-approves-sept-11-legislation-despite-saudi-threats/ar-BBta6rK?ocid=spartandhp The Senate passed legislation Tuesday that would allow families of Sept. 11 victims to sue the government of Saudi Arabia despite a White House veto threat and fierce objections from the U.S. ally. The Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, approved by voice vote, had triggered a threat from Riyadh to pull billions of dollars from the U.S. economy if the bill is enacted. The legislation, sponsored by Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., gives victims' families the right to sue in U.S. court for any role that elements of the Saudi government may have played in the 2001 attacks that killed thousands in New York, the Washington, D.C. area and Pennsylvania. Relatives of Sept. 11 victims have urged the Obama administration to declassify and release U.S. intelligence that allegedly discusses possible Saudi involvement in the attacks. Passage of the bill sends the message that the United States "will combat terrorism with every tool we have available, and that the victims of terrorist attacks in our country should have every means at their disposal to seek justice," Cornyn said. Schumer said that any foreign government that aids terrorists who strike the U.S. "will pay a price if it is proven they have done so." |

I'm not sure where in the U.S this young lady went to school, but the last time I pledged allegiance to the flag in a classroom was in the second grade, around 1964. Her underlying message seems to be "look at me, I'm enlightened" What I'd much rather prefer to hear is the perspective of true native Europeans like yourself. |

I tend to agree with her. You guys seem to live in a bubble of constant nationalist propaganda, which makes you accept as given concepts like "America first", "Leader of the free world" etc etc.. . As soon as you get out ot the bubble, not as tourists nor military, but to actually live and interact as peers with foreigners, even you realize how wierd and unjustified that s**t is.

Trump needs to focus more so on the male vote. He should have nationalized the Boy Scouts when they decided to admit girls. Harambe4Trump AKA "FASHY" | |

I've done a bit of traveling in my career, and I understand what you're saying. American exceptionalism attitude is definitely a "thing". |
