So what do you think will happen ? Ya think Obama and his SA bowing crew is gonna let this happen ?

[ameribbean expat]

1. US corporations holding cash reserves offshore will be given tax amnesty if they enter the markets and buy whatever the Saudis sell.

2. Sucks to be Rupert Murdoch- and Fox News - with significant minority Saudi shareholders. Bill O’Reilly performs fellatio on Barack Obama to save the franchise, is given a large minority stake for doing so.

Blow the “holy places” off the face of the Earth. Seize the oil.

Cut off their alfalfa from Vicksburg, ,AZ. HOW LONG WILL THEIR COWS LAST?

They are selling assets anyway because of the oil price dip. This is an empty threat. Someone else will buy what they sell.

Most of the gold in Fort Knox turned out to be gold “plated” Tungsten bars. Someone noticed that the density of gold and Tungsten are nearly identical. So a switch was made in WWII. The only real gold was that in the NY Federal Reserve Bank vault.

They’re gonna sell off their US-based mosques?

[ExSES]

SELL AWAY..., values go up and down all the time..., ask the Japanese what their USA Assets sold for a few years after they were going to "OWN THE COUNTRY" back in the 80's!

[chargers fan]

Good grief. Everybody’s threatening to financially ruin everybody this week.

[Hugin]

I think their assets should be frozen until all lawsuits against the kingdom are settled.

Oh no a stock buy back! Great idea

Let them sell. Why is this posed or perceived as a threat with ominous implications? If the Saudis wish to dump their US held assets then line up the buyers, negotiate the price, and sell. So what? They will take massive loses especially on real estate and corporate holdings. Buyers will get bargains.

No need for heated rhetoric. Why the angry backlash here? We gave them dollars for oil. The had to buy stuff with those dollars and now they wish to sell the stuff at losses? Cannot understand why anyone in the country cares.

[lurk]

Sounds like the Saudis expect some legal action over their #1 export, wahabbism.

[Celerity]

Only one country in the entire world has been able to actually harm the US.

Economically in the 70s, with it’s leadership in OPEC and physically in 2001.

Dismissing this or chuckling at it would be a mistake.

Whatever Saudi Arabia does to the US, bet that those “in charge” will help it accomplish that exact goal.
