Following a dramatic deterioration in official diplomatic channels between the US and Saudi Arabia when over the weekend the Saudis threatened the U.S. with dumping billions in Treasuries if Congress were to pass a bill probing into their alleged support of Sept 11 terrorists in the aftermath of last weekend's 60 Minutes report on the classified "28 pages" from the Septemeber 11 commission, moments ago the Obama administration made a stunning admission, when for the first time it revealed on the record that the Saudis were the original source of funding for Al Qaeda.
As Politico reports, Obama's deputy national security adviser, Ben Rhodes, while speaking to David Axelrod in Monday's edition of "The Axe Files" podcast said that the government of Saudi Arabia had paid "insufficient attention" to money that was being funneled into terror groups and fueled the rise of Al Qaeda when he was asked about the validity of the accusation that the Saudi government was complicit in sponsoring terrorism.
At first, he tried to tone down what amount to the first official admission of Saudi involvement in September 11, saying "I think that it’s complicated in the sense that, it’s not that it was Saudi government policy to support Al Qaeda, but there were a number of very wealthy individuals in Saudi Arabia who would contribute, sometimes directly, to extremist groups. Sometimes to charities that were kind of, ended up being ways to launder money to these groups."

>>I don’t understand why this is big news. I thought everyone knew.
Its the first time that its been publicly acknowledged by the WH. That’s news.
It’s also part of the test to see if the complacency is high enough to permit the final stages of Cloward-Piven to occur.
“....the Saudis have been funding all the fundamenatlist madrassas all over the world.”
I saw the figures quite some time ago, but if I recall correctly, the Saudi’s are number one in funding all the mosques in the United States. That is, buying the land, financing the construction, and continued support once operational.
“When forced to take sectarian sides, Obama takes the Shia side. This is nothing new.”
Our president took sides right after 9/11 and he apparently knowingly took the wrong side.
That cost us lives, limbs and hundreds of billions of dollars.
Zero is Pro-Iranian.
How does this help the Iranians?
The Iranians are the enemies of the Saudis. Anything that causes problems between the USA and SA is great for Iran.
The MANPADS and other tech
from Obama, McCain and Hillary also
are ‘seed weapons’ to murder THOUSANDS.
Did no one care they bombed the Pentagon, you fools?
“The Iranians are the enemies of the Saudis. Anything that causes problems between the USA and SA is great for Iran.”
The Saudis financed and likely gave support to the 9/11 terrorists.
That being the case, I don’t give damn about the relationship between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
The Saudis have proved themselves worse than Iran.
During the Hajj.
during haj.
How is that possible? Bush held his hand and kissed his all all over Crawford. The old man was in the same bed. The Clintons just rip them off for money and then talk about how much they champion women. That’s different then banning 28 pages from the report and then covering it up as W did. That’s the message here.
For discussion's sake; lets say Jarett's fingerprints are on this one. A pissed off American people at both KSA and the Bush's allows for Iran to strengthen itself further and even strike the KSA and the American people won't want to do a damn thing about it; "F'em, they caused 911; they have it coming" and low and behold the spoon fed American's are actually rooting for the Iranians and the Dem's now have even more "hate republican's" rhetoric by the time they are done spinning (which might just mean releasing the truth is all).
Pure hypothesis on my part.
The 60 minutes piece blow the lid off with senators coming forward. That’s serious shit. Now Obama is sticking it to Bush for covering it up and blocking only 28 pages from a long report. It’s payback to shops “It really is Bush’s fault.”
The power stubble is Iran , SA, And Pakis. We kiss the pakis ass. YThe harbored Taliban, hid Bin Laden and put the Dr in prison who lead to his capture. I think he’s still there.
If itgurts Saudi it helps the other two. But the whabbis committed a serious act of war and we let them shit on us since. Buch and Obama.
struggle
But...haven't we known this for years?? That individual Saudis contributed money to AQ, but the Saudi government did not?
News would be that their government was actually involved. But I could have sworn this came out before in a "Some Americans supported the IRA" sense.
Shocking, shocking!
Next thing you know the CIA and the Bush dynasty will be shown to have a decades long personal relationship with the Saudis and the bin Laden family and bin Laden Group.
And Bush family dy nasty BFF, James Baker’s firm defends the Saudis against those evil 911 victim families.
and...
and...
Hey look, the current CIA director Obrennan ALSO has a long history with the Saudis and is widely believed to be a muslim like Omuslim.
I guess someone had enough dirt on him to force him to capitulate.
