911 victims to sue Saudi Arabia
Congress passes bill letting 9/11 victims sue Saudi Arabia, in face of veto threat.Why would a president veto a very legitimate claim if we can prove that the respondent is guilty of this massive terror inflicted upon us?
Any ideas?

If not isn't that a real spanner in the works of any trial seeking compensation
You think the most intellectual political machine in world has an objective to prove how stupid they are?
Why don't you request from the modes to delete the part where politics are discussed?
And needs to get laid is not as needed as you think.
I bet you would have no problem getting laid.
But I know you are the type would need loads of intellectual stimulation.
And why not if you have the IQ for that sort of thing
Looks and brains
Twisted because? What's the money gonna do? Bring back the dead? I think that it's more likely to make their relatives rich without deserving it. Besides, I thought you guys already balmed and killed Osama.. for that... ain't it a done thing now?
I don't understand really.
First off lives were lost nothing can replace that.
Second the vulnerability if a very powerful country to be a victim of this terror is a discredit to our military power.
Now about those needs!
On your questions why we should be sued? I'm convinced that per agreement of NATO, the US was called to topple Iraq for trashing Saudi Arabia, then for the imminent need if control against both Iran, and Syria for terrorism acts.
If these were all lies theb get your answer from my government.
I do believe my government.
no impartiality, no distance no fair objectivity.
The Saudi will enter a trial with no presumption of innocence.
This goes against a lot of what international law says.
Seems like a case of America presuming position of world police yet again.
You're condescending remarks are abridged by your participation.
But I think you're wrong on the dollar held up by them.
What I would like to find out is that what lesson has the world learned from this despicable act?
"Second the vulnerability if a very powerful country to be a victim of this terror is a discredit to our military power"
Wonder what you think about Vietnam then ..
I learned that
A. Sadam was about to switch from trading in dollars to euro
and
B. Muammar Gaddafi was about to switch to gold standard
Both which would have greatly impacted the petro dollar cycle
The American government seen the silver lining in the atrocity and cashed in on it.
This could turn into a never ending story. I bet you the lawyers , and world courts are just choping at the bit.
This could turn into a never ending INDUSTRY!
Lawyers chomping at the bit?
Oh HELL yeah!
Should the suits ever actually be brought, I can tell you right now who'd win...
THE LAWYERS!!

Making an enemy of Saudi Arabia...
Would it be a good idea to make an enemy of a country(s) (Arabia joined by other Emirates) capable of crashing the U.S. currency.
Superpower status would be a fast fading memory.
The race to gain reserve currency status would be on between Russia and China.
For anyone to accuse of any wrongdoings of our country then let them start suing US.
See my reason, 1)....
And yes. I do believe our elected officials are capable of using this issue as a political football.
"Should the suits ever actually be brought, I can tell you right now who'd win...

Yes one in a million she is

He stole my observation.
If you're telling me that I am stupid for discussing this because it's not true then stay away. Your judgment that I am stupid is contemptible.
the Saudi U.S. diplomatic relationship is based on acceptance of Wasabi radicalism brainwashing millions of Muslims in return for their oil. Very cynical, also critical to us.
I showed evidence why that might not be so.
Agreed. The issue will not be settled on CS Blogs.
That would have to be resolved in court.
And the lawyers are chomping at the bit.
