Saudi Arabia has reportedly told the Obama administration and congressional leaders that it will sell billions of dollars in U.S. financial assets if Congress passes a bill to make the Saudi government legally responsible for any role in the 9/11 attacks.
The administration has tried to stop Congress from passing the legislation, a bipartisan Senate bill, since Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir last month told Washington lawmakers his country’s position, according to The New York Times.
Al-Juberi purportedly informed the lawmakers during a trip to Washington that Saudi Arabia would be forced to sell as much as $750 billion in Treasury securities and other American financial assets on the world market, fearing the legislation could become law and U.S. courts would then freeze the assets.
The revelations about the Saudis’ ultimatum come several days after reports that President Obama will soon decide whether to declassify 28 pages of sealed documents suspected of showing a Saudi connection to the deadly 9/11 terror attacks.
Former Florida Democratic Sen. Bob Graham told Fox News on Tuesday that the White House told him a decision on whether to declassify the documents would be made within 60 days.
Graham helped lead a 2002 congressional inquiry into the attacks.
The Bush and Obama administrations have refused to unseal the documents, arguing their release would jeopardize national security. Critics claim the reluctance is a calculated move to hide Saudi Arabia’s involvement in the al Qaeda terror attack that killed almost 3,000 people on U.S. soil on Sept. 11, 2001.
Obama had come under renewed pressure to release the documents ahead of a scheduled trip next week to Saudi Arabia for a summit of Persian Gulf leaders.

My understanding is that Persian youths for the most part reject theocracy and have quite modern, cosmopolitan attitudes in general. De-brainwashing Americans is probably the bigger obstacle to reconciliation.
You need rest.
It will come suddenly, swiftly, terribly. But not yet.
So...Obama is actually one of the Persian Gulf leaders? Interesting...
bttt
Yes indeed. KSA is the heart of darkness in that area of the world. Wahhabism. I know it first hand.
A large part of the economic troubles were due to that idiot Bush and his advisers who proceeded toput America on a path to bankruptcy with a “nation building” exercise in futility in the Middle East.
McDonald’s on every corner and Lady Gaga filling the airwaves throughout the M.E. - right!
I hope they do.
Or just let Saddam have Saudi Arabia.

Not a bad idea - women would be liberated. Since Iraq is mostly Shia the Saudi Shia would have more rights. The Ba'athist would be ending wahhabism.
>>Maybe we can even buy back our politicians?<<
Wouldn’t want to buy something that has a permanent fowl odor. Maybe they have been cornhold too many times.
Iran and Syria helped kill our Marines, Shias; and Saddam certainly celebrated 911; most of those hijackers were in Iran in the 12 prior months.
Even if Saddam were involved in 9/11. Do you think he would have had we not opposed him in 1991?

===========================================
The Clinton Foundation took $1,250,000 (that we know of)
from Mideast kingdom--Qatar---(recently exposed as embroiled in FIFA bribery).
The Clinton presidential library in Arkansas lists Brunei, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar as donors that gave between $1 million and $5 million (at the time of research).
The Clinton foundation itself confirmed the 2002 Brunei donation: "The Clinton Foundation's impact would not be possible without the generous support of our donors," the foundation's website reads. "Their contributions have made a difference in the lives of tens of millions across the world." Read more at foxnews.com ...
==============================================
Qatar became the new home of the Gitmo Five via the infamous Bergdahl swap.
==================================================
Hillary later told Fox's Greta Van Susteren that Qatar was "not a threat to the US." Hillary never mentioned Qatar subsidizing the Clinton Library/Foundation.
Hillary's remarks lead some to believe the donation was a payoff....Hillary bribed to defend Qatar....blatantly ignoring America's ntl security interests.
=====================================================
The Clinton Library bills itself as "linking the significance of
a 20th century American presidency with the ongoing
and far-reaching work of The Clinton Global Foundation."
(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)
No mention of Clinton being impeached and disbarred for lying.
====================================================
REALITY CHECK Despite its grandiose self-promotion, The William J. Clinton Presidential Center and Park---- is just another "Clinton Cash" snake pit.....subsidized by taxpayers,....and some shady foreign characters.
