The Smoking Gun: "Document 17" Links Saudi Embassy In Washington To Sept 11
zero hedge ^ | 4/20/16 | tyler durden

With the topic of Saudi Arabia's involvement in the Sept 11 attack on everyone's lips, if certainly not those of president Obama who is currently in Riyadh where he is meeting with members of Saudi royalty in what may be his last trip to the Saudi nation as US president, many have been clamoring for the information in the suddenly notorious "28-pages" (following the recent 60 Minutes episode) to be released to the public so the US population can finally relegate all those "conspiracy theories" surrounding the real perpetrator behind the Sept 11 terrorist attack to the "conspiracy fact" pile.

It won't have to wait that long.

As The Times writes today, new evidence has come to light of a definitive link between Saudi Arabian officials and the 9/11 terrorist attacks "further raising tensions as President Obama travels to the kingdom."

According to the report, Ghassan Al-Sharbi, a Saudi who became an al-Qa’ida bomb maker, is believed to have taken flying lessons with some of the 9/11 hijackers in Arizona but did not take part in the attacks on New York and the Pentagon that killed 3,000 people in 2001.

He was captured in Pakistan in 2002 and has since been held at Guantanamo Bay. According to a US memo, known as document 17, written in 2003 and quietly declassified last year, the FBI learnt that he had buried a cache of papers shortly before he was captured.

Think of "Document 17" as a mini version of the "28 pages" whose content has yet to be revealed. The document was written by two US investigators examining the possible roles of foreign governments in the attacks.

This is getting very interesting. Trump has single handedly given credence to what “truthers” have been saying for years.

I don’t think it was about oil. Not sure what exactly, but I don’t think it was oil. We’ve got oil and plenty of it.

This really should be stickied at the top of Breaking News for a while.

Actually, the first thing Bush did was fly out the Saudis to safe haven when no Americans were allowed to fly.....

And yet all the evidence was there to prove the US government was lying its ass off from day 1 and that the Saudis were deeply involved. Clues were dropped left and right, some - like that PA memorial design - were of the “in your face” type.

It’s understandable that people desperately wanted to not believe the US government was capable of participating in something like this, but at some point the weight of evidence crushes all illusions.

An excellent post from “fleur di les” at Zero Hedge:

“So the stupid Saudis thought that DC would cover for them if only they would participate in a direct attack on American civilians. The question is, what did the Saudis get in return? How did DC lure them so easily into a mass murder plot?

In any case, the Saudis now know that they were pawns like the rest of us. And since the official 911 hoax story no longer holds up, and the participants are starting to look for the exit signs, it will only be a matter of time before the American public demands answers and punishments.

So someone has got to take the fall. The American peasants are getting restless. The Saudis are the designated patsies and will be left holding the 911 bag. They should have stuck to improving the lives of their own subjects and co-religionists instead of competing for the 21st century’s first international Darwin prize.”

Iraq was a war for oil? Where the hell was the oil when we needed it? Answer: still in Iraq. We didn’t get any damn oil.

Actually, the basis for war on Iraq wasn’t about oil. It was about Saddam moving in the direction of going from dollars to another currency. The globalist bankers would not settle for that. The same reality was why we destroyed Libya ... the ruler there was on a similar path to put gold as the exchange on oil.

I thought so, too. Why did all those Saudis get to fly out the day following, and it was reported a bunch fled prior to the towers coming down, too, indicating pre-knowledge. Our own government, and our own officials, have a lot to answer for. And now the Saudis are threatening to seriously impact our economy IF we dare point a finger in their direction, which would then open them to lawsuits from families of the deceased.

And the US government didn’t have a clue about all this?

Should we embargo Saudi oil?

No, we should vaporize their cities and take the oil.

I’m glad Jeb! ran for president. It motivated me to study up on the Bushes. I learned a lot about the Clintons too, as their paths join a lot in our recent history. The Bushes were as dirty as they come. And yes, I would have crawled over broken glass to vote for Bush. YES, smart FReepers can be fooled by people claiming to be conservative (and even meaning it... But working for other than the American people). We are so desperate for conservatives in power that we cling to what we can get.
