Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Thursday the city would not accept a $10 million donation for disaster relief from Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal after the prince suggested U.S. policies in the Middle East contributed to the September 11 attacks.
Giuliani flatly rejected the prince's position. "To suggest that there's a justification for [the terrorist attacks] only invites this happening in the future," he said. "It is highly irresponsible and very, very dangerous.
"And one of the reasons I think this happened is because people were engaged in moral equivalency in not understanding the difference between liberal democracies like the United States, like Israel, and terrorist states and those who condone terrorism.
"So I think not only are those statements wrong, they're part of the problem," Giuliani said.

The truth is that was when they still were on the wrong side, but the “Arab Spring” of 2010 made them realize the Wahhabism they spread was now threatening the royal family too.
However obama figured Iran was the way to go so he funded them.
Yeah let’s sweep those 3000 dead under the rug.
As for the WTC, I had already worked in it, so #### it. /s
And the sauds did get hit with YUGE financial losses after the lawsuits by the families /s
Can people stop saying dumb ####ing things like “THANK YOU SA!!” and “BEFORE when they WERE on the wrong side”
I know reality is what it is and they will never pay, but people here are losing their ####ing minds the past few days fawning over SA and it’s making me sick.
the cognitive dissonance on this one is astounding. the saudis aren’t our friends, they aren’t friends to liberal democracy anywhere, and they will continue to do what is expedient to keep their corrupt theocracy in power.
Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Iran are all fighting to be the “Big Dog” of Islam. Whichever one prevails will inevitably come after us.
Yeah, now they're dedicated to fighting terrorism no matter how many dead American soldiers it takes.

Yeah, but Giuliani had a sanctuary city.
Also the sanctuary policy was moot as it pertained to the 9/11 hijackers, since they came from Florida (after their flight training) and hijacked the planes out of Logan Airport in Boston.
I didn’t say it pertained to the 9/11 hijackers or terrorism. He did have a sanctuary city. He sued the federal government to keep it.
What you said.
I think Iran will nuke us once they’re able to finish their ICBM & nuclear program. Europe may end up having to decide between Putin or Erdogan if they can’t control their streets in a generation or less. I don’t trust the Saudis, but this King and Prince seem to be better, and I’d rather have the Saudis invade Iran than us having to in response to a nuke on Israel or us.
