Oh Really?

Fifteen of the 19 9/11 hijackers were Saudis and it's our fault?

Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan blamed al Qaeda's Sept. 11 attacks on the United States' failure to consult the kingdom's security authorities in a "serious and credible manner."

"Saudi security was actively following the movements of most of the terrorists with precision," Bandar, the national security advisor to Saudi King told the Arabic satellite network, Al-Arabiya, Thursday.

"If U.S. security authorities had engaged their Saudi counterparts in a serious and credible manner, in my opinion, we would have avoided what happened," Bandar said.

Former White House counter terrorism official Dick Clarke dismissed Bandar's statement as untrue.
"The Saudis were uncooperative and did not engage in significant info sharing on al Qaeda prior to 9/11 despite repeated U.S. attempts to engage them," said Clarke.

Another former intelligence official said there is no reason to believe the Saudi government was tracking the 9/11 hijackers.

Oh yeah, it's our fault for being so oil greedy that we let Saudi Arabia sponsor terrorism all over the world (including Iraq right now) but it is not our fault that they let their people run wild all over the world wreaking havoc! He needs to zip it because sooner or later we won't have a President who is so quick to jump in his back pocket ... or under that robe!
