America ... always too late to the party

After almost a decade and a half,  some from the lousy ineffectual politicians in the American government are beginning to question the Saudi relationship in connection to 9/11, a connection that millions of Americans and millions around the world knew about long before these same lousy politicians are now trying to question in the hope of making themselves look less guilty.

Wonder when those same lousy politicians will begin to question the Israeli relationship in connection to America's foreign policy.  Will it be when America has fallen to her knees and no longer able to pick herself up?

Worth a full read.  Some journalists are coming awake and throwing aside the political correctness which was corrupting their work.

Their crime? Driving. Or, to be precise: driving while female.....

........Saudi Arabia has consistently denied any advance knowledge of, or connection to the hijackers, but some information in the 28 pages has already leaked.

According to multiple reports here, the FBI and CIA suggest Saudi Arabia provided at least indirect support and funding for the attackers.

And the report isn't talking about the usual "wealthy Saudi sympathizers," we so often hear about. No, the pages reportedly describe consular and financial support by officials of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

It is a long-established fact that 15 of the 19 attackers were Saudi citizens. That in itself, let alone official complicity, would likely have provoked a pestilence of drone-launched missiles on any other country.......
