Saudi Scum?

Post by Nightshade »

Are we ready to endure (another) stab in the back by our muslim "friends?"
Saudi Arabia has told the Obama administration and members of Congress that it will sell off hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of American assets held by the kingdom if Congress passes a bill that would allow the Saudi government to be held responsible in American courts for any role in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

I like the juxtaposition of the Obama administration being against people having the ability to sue a country over the support of a terrorist act, yet for corporations having the ability to sue a country over laws that hurt profits.

We better check snopes... :)

I'm for suing the Saudis for 9/11, but if we decide that WE can sue them, then that opens up the whole can of worms for other countries to start suing US in retaliation. Tit for tat.
