Interestingly, the Saudi ambassador to the UN announced his resignation TODAY (for personal reasons).
Coincidence?
Decent conspiracy theory.
More info coming in...The warning was given to American citizens in Saudi Arabia concerning attacks directed towards them, not the Saudi's.
Reminiscent of the Japanese Ambassador leaving the U.S. in 1941?
Coincidence?
Incoming.
My guess is that it IS a coincidence, primarily because if he resigned because he knew something bad was about to happen, and then it DID happen, it would be absolute proof that the Saudi government is complicit in terror attacks. It would be impossible for us to avoid punishing them for that, and I think they are more savvy than that.
Of course, they got off with not so much as a slap on the wrist for being home to 15 of 19 hijackers on 9/11 and for exporting and funding Wahhabism all over the world, so what do I know?
For real. Need a good source...wait a minute, is there a good source left? Nevermind, I will look myself.
I read not long ago that Prince Bandar was having personal problems, depression supposedly. This was preventing him from being his usual smiling self with US politicians and the media, so he was said to be close to asking to resign because he knew he wasn't being effective.
