"You assume the idiots in our government know what assets are owned by the Saudis Im sure that most of what the Saudi have invested goes through about 100 intermediaries."

Good point...And who would be surprised if by digging down a layer or two one of those "intermediaries" winds up being none other than one William Jefferson Clinton.

Convincing only as to the effectiveness of sequestration. A little narrative seemed in order. Ever been able to change a Swiss banker's mind? Probably not, but sequestration did. I fancy it will have an identical effect on the Saudis.

Those who think we can just thumb our noses at investors from any and every country that doesn't please us are extremely foolish.

Next time foreign investors would think twice before locating any money in America.
