US covers up Saudi involvement in 9/11, Saudis threaten firesale of US treasuries if held accountable

15 years of war in the middle east and the government most responsible for the acts on 9/11 are given Billions in military aid instead of being recognized as an enemy.

BTW this is the same paper that just endorsed Trump.

They actually "only" own about 300 billion and not the 700 bil they claim. Still a lot but it wouldn't hurt us much.
The conundrum with them is that they are the country with the most wealth by far. So toppling thier government would be very bad. I think we need a president that will can work with them while warning them about exporting whabbism and somehow forcing them to keep it in Saudi Arabia. They are guilty of "inspiring" most Islamic terrorism. They show up in Muslim dominant towns and offer to build a new mosque. Of course they provide the imam who then preach Wahhabis ideology to all the young Islamists who are drawn to the new and modern mosque. This is even going on in the US. We should deport all the Saudi imams in the US and have them replaced by non Wahhabis imams.

By what measure? The highest I can find the Kingdom ranked by any measure is #19. Their only only top-50 finish is a #31--by all other measures they don't even crack the top 50.

Sorry I meant In the Middle East. And by wealth I meant oil reserves.
