Tulsi Gabbard: Government 'Turning A Blind Eye' to Saudi Involvement in 9/11

[PJ] Tulsi Gabbard, the marginally sane candidate in the Democratic presidential field, said Thursday that Saudi Arabia is "undermining our national security interests" and that "it is our government ‐ our own government ‐ that is hiding the truth" about Saudi involvement in the 9/11 jihad attacks.

Gabbard noted that "for so long, leaders in our government have said, ’well, Saudi Arabia is our great ally, they’re a partner in counterterrorism’ ‐ turning a blind eye or completely walking away from the reality that Saudi Arabia time and again, has proven to be the opposite."

The Hawaii congresswoman also broke ranks with the bipartisan conventional wisdom about exactly what side the Saudi government is on when she noted that the Saudis are "the number one exporter of this Wahhabi extremist ideology. They’re a fertile recruiting ground for terrorists, like al-Qaeda and ISIS around the world. They’re directly providing arms and assistance to al-Qaeda in places like Yemen and in Syria."

#2 Just because she's right on one thing doesn't mean she's not a whack job.

#5 I don't think they turned a blind eye. I think they looked long and hard at Saudi involvement and preferred to lie their assess off.

How is it nobody has written an alternate history book on this? I would think it might find a fairly large audience.

#7 What is your fok'n solution.

Fracking. Also offshore drilling, but fracking has got us to where we needn’t worry about harming the OPEC nations when the price of oil falls below the level they need to maintain subsidy levels for their population. If we need to, we can supply that part of the world we care about from what we pump domestically... and the ChiComs can take over coddling the Saudis.

#9 ditto on tw's #7

Fracking in the short term. Nuclear power in the long term for base load. Solar/wind/biofuel for whatever niche usage that it is economically viable for ... and I am not expecting those niches to be anything that will make a serious impact on the total energy needs of our civilization.

#10 Not the decisionmakers among the royals. But the powerless branches, who would like to rule in their place? Sure. Bin Laden is Saudi. As were 15 of the 19 hijackers. Still, this is the kind of stuff you'd expect from only credible Hare Krishna presidential candidate, ever. Saying the Saudi royals were responsible for 9/11 is like saying that Nixon was responsible for the My Lai Massacre.
