Obama Administration Makes Stunning Admission: "Seed Money For Al Qaeda Came From Saudi Arabia"
Zerohedge ^ | April 18, 2016 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 04/18/2016 5:00:30 PM PDT by Former Proud Canadian

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."

Dont forget the klintons being in bed with them even more.

And let us not forget even as pain as it is how President Bush muggled Bandar and Saudi clan out.

The only explanation I've been able to come to is that the was a double agent playing the Saudis who they were running th op on. This is BS though the Saudis are pure

I feel so betrayed - I defended and advocated Bush - The Bushes are terrible so many dead people for nothing

The Saudi reaction already admits that the content of the 28 pages convict them of the crime, and that they are aware of their own culpability in it.

We’d do the world a favor by having our troops take out the entire royal line. How convenient that we have so many troops right there...

Well then, maybe we should be friends with the Iranians, as we have a common interest.

Never understood the hate towards Iran.

It’s like people think the hostage crisis happened spontaneously with no context whatsoever. It’s like people don’t even know about Operation Ajax overthrowing their democracy and installing a brutal dictator for a generation, then treating them like the Devil incarnate for deposing the despot.

Eventually it becomes difficult to avoid the conclusion that the Bush family was in on it and facilitated the event.

It would seem to me that it might be an attempt to destabilize the KSA. Just like Egypt, Libya and Syria. Why not go for four in a row?

I'd like to see the KSA destroyed and we take their oil fields, but Obama will screw it up and hand the country to Iran.

Because Georgie had to take revenge on Saddam for former CIA Director Daddy Bush... you know, the guy whose close friend’s son tried to murder Reagan.

The divide between people who do their own research and those who believe what the television tells them is an endless source of amusement, is it not?

If obama vetoes the bill to allow money recovery from the Saudis for their known attack on our country, I demand his immediate impeachment. This act of bribed cover up with define him forever!!

Bin Laden is from Saudi Arabia. But I seriously doubt the Saudi government had any knowledge, much less provided any support for his terrorist attacks on the US.
