WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama met with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal at the White House on Wednesday and discussed the conflict in Syria, a spokeswoman said. The meeting was not on Obama's public schedule. The spokeswoman, Caitlin Hayden, said the president joined a meeting between the Saudi official and Obama's national security adviser, Tom Donilon. "The president and Prince Saud al-Faisal reaffirmed the strong partnership between the United States and Saudi Arabia and discussed developments in the region, including the conflict in Syria," Hayden said in a statement.

Thanks for the link. The problem is that while I agree with much of what Steve Emerson says about the nature of Islam, I’d like to see corroboration in the media before I’m comfortable with his assertion about this Saudi.

No internet link yet.

It was told to me through an ICE source. It is solid and the reason for the unscheduled emergency meeting with Obama.

The Saudi is from a wealthy and influential family in southern KSA near the Yemen border.

I don’t know that the Saudi is linked to the bombing and may be getting deported due to materials found when they searched his apartment.

Something odd about that search. The roommate whose interview I posted, Mohammed Hassan Bada, claimed to be Saudi also, and a cousin to the Saudi. But the name Bada is a Zaidi Shiite name from Yemen and that family is a part of the Houthi rebellion.

“Unannounced meeting to tidy up loose ends?”

And now the Saudi National who was a person of interest in the Boston Marathon is being deported.

Thanks for the post.

BTW, the al Harbi family is very prominent in Yemen and several are on the AQ most wanted list.

Here is a story about those crazy Saudi religious nuts. And a link for Banghazi, showing 18 photos of the embassy compound during and after the attack. It is so wide open, it doesn’t look very defensible. Also, at least one highly suspicious guy there by burning car with gun in hand.

On the subject of treason, what’s this I have been reading here at FR about Grover Norquist and his Muslim connections, sympathies and Palestinian wife? Can his no taxes pledge have been part of a plot to destroy our military and democratic government?
