In reply to the discussion: 9/11 Link To Saudi Arabia Is Topic Of 28 Redacted Pages In Government Report; Congressmen Push For R [View all]Old and In the Way
(37,540 posts)Cheney had those secret energy policy meetings in the Spring of 2001...the ones that we can't see who attended and what were the topics of discussion. Except for one map that clearly showed Iraq getting divvied up amongst a number of big oil companies.
So 15 of 19 hijackers were Saudis. What was the US response?
(1) Give the Royal Family, including bin Ladens, free passage out of the country while no one else could fly.
(2) Exit all US Saudi military bases.
(3) Take out SA's #1 threat - Hussein/Iraq. Iraq/Hussein had no connection with the 9/11 bombing.
(4) Disrupt the flow of Iraqi oil onto the world markets, thus making SA's product increase in value.
I don't know...seems like one big "quid pro quo" that involved the House of Saud, Big Oil, and the Bush administration.
