Uh, pretty sure that is actually what the word “Monarchy” means.

It took four and a half years, and burning down half of Japan, to raise the American flag over the Dai Ichi building in Tokyo.

Pearl Harbor day was not a national event until then. Americans were too busy working third shift and inventing nuclear weapons.

So, a bunch of people lighting candles and weeping eighteen years after the joint Saudi-Pakistan attack on New York and Virginia obviously have not learned the lesson Admiral Halsey expressed so well with his fleet signal on December 7, 1941:

"Kill Japs, kill Japs, kill more Japs".

Since all non-citizen Muslims have not been deported and all citizen Muslims are not under surveillance, no, we have not learned.

+1.

To pretend there is some substitute and limited goals can replace the old formula is to invite disaster. The disaster we are now involved in.

+100

OK. I guess what you are saying is there was a coup we are unaware of in the Saudi Royal Family and only the rebellious fraction was behind 911? Is there evidence of a coup in that 2001 timeframe?

It doesn’t matter whether the on-paper government of Saudi Arabia (or Pakistan, for that matter) ordered and directed the attack.

What matters is that their nations were and are at war with our nation, and that all of the blood and all of the treasure expended since 9-11-01 has not even begun to break them to our will.

And, to top it off, we killed the main Arab enemy of the Saudis, just to say “thank you”.

For what?

Just a hunch on my part but I can’t help but wonder if a number of things we now consider to be unrelated actually are very related. The cover up of Saudi involvement in 911, Epstein, Hillary’s emails, #FusionCollusion, who knows what else. It’s the same people involved again and again. Mueller and Comey both had to have known it was the Saudis, they were both Directors of the FBI during the timeframe. How is it the CIA and FBI, apparently, had no interest in or knowledge of what Epstein was doing? We know for a fact Strzok and McCabe were aware of #FusionCollusion. Just my humble opinion but I can’t help wondering if this isn’t the dilemma Barr is facing. He can’t pursue #FusionCollusion because he can’t reveal just a part of this mess because it is a thread that is woven into decades of corruption and cover up.

In one day, Islam killed about three thousand folks in the USA.

EVERY day; 'CHOICE' kills about 3,000 future Americans.

And now; we are angry at MUSLIMS?

Saudi Arabia is not at war with the USA and is in fact a strong ally

No less than the President of the United States stood before the entire Arab world in a meeting in Riyadh and proclaimed the relationship in no uncertain terms.

I expect you did not hear because you dogmatically refused to listen

No, I heard it, all right, and I thought it was incredibly stupid.

I understand now that you are deaf and can not hear. Perhaps seeing is believing. Our President is walking with HRH the king on a symbolic red carpet rolled out to honor the president

(Please note that Melania is in the photo wearing long sleeves but no burka)

Second row should begin with the appropriate portrait for the caption “Elected POTUS November 2008”.
