Evidence of Financial Links Between Saudi Royal Family and Al Qaeda
The New York Times ^ | 11/21/200

Posted on 11/21/2010 6:14:44 AM PST by Brian Mosely

In an attempt to link members of the Saudi royal family to the financing of Al Qaeda, lawyers for Sept. 11 families and their insurers have collected several hundred thousand pages of interview transcripts, government reports, financial records, court testimony and other material. Four of the documents, not entered in the court record but provided to the New York Times, are shown here. Lawyers for the Saudi royal family deny any connection to the financing of Al Qaeda and say the links claimed by the Sept. 11 families are tenuous and misleading. The Supreme Court is expected to decide this week whether to take up the case; lower courts have found that the Saudis cannot be sued in U.S. court based on a 1976 law giving sovereign immunity to foreign nations and their leaders.

How about Saudi shareholdings, joint ventures and other deals with ALL 6 TV networks including Fox News? The Saudis have also run ads in the WSJ and Forbes plus lib publications. Their control and influence on ALL US TV networks, which own almost all the TV channels, plus deals in with foreign networks is a BIG problem.

Now that obummer has snuck through the largest arms deal in our history with the Saudis we can expect Al Qaeda to be on the cutting edge fighting against our troops. What an absolutely corrupt bastard!

AND in other news, the stupid people of America elected a muslim who bows to the Saudis out of religious respect.

How does America expect to win a war on terror with a tainted and complicit commander in chief?

How can America do anything when it has a president who is secretly at war with the “crusaders”?

Isn’t a member of the Saudi royal family coming to the US for medical treatment? If we were serious about the WOT, he would not leave the country alive.

This is great! We can’t permit our elite and our government to continue bowing and smooching on Islamic terrorists while they tell us we are in a war on Islamic terror. The Saudis are way too involved and enabled in promoting their viscious ideology in the US.
