By now pretty much everyone understands Saudi Arabia played a key role in 9/11. All but one of the hijackers were Saudis, and all of them received funding via so-called Saudi charities. One even got a personal check from the wife of the Saudi ambassador to the United States. Others were given a place to stay and introduced to a radical mosque by a diplomat at the Saudi Consulate in San Diego.
Kinda hard to miss.
Many of the families of 9/11 victims have wanted for years to sue the Saudi government over the deaths of their loved ones. The lawsuits would grant the families some financial compensation of course, but would also further expose the Saudi role in attacking America.
And so, after only 15 years, on Friday, the House of Representatives passed a bill that indeed would allow victims of the 9/11 terror attacks to sue Saudi Arabia. The bill was already passed in the Senate back in May. Specifically, the new law would deny Saudi Arabia the ability to invoke sovereign immunity to avoid lawsuits in U.S. courts.
The bill still has to be signed into law by President Obama, who has made clear he will veto it.
That stops the families’ quest for justice dead.
Why the veto? Some claim the White House is protecting the Bush family, which had such close ties to the Saudis that they were complicit in a coverup. Others say the bill would p*ss off the Saudis at a time when the U.S. wants their help in Syria and against Iran.
Another possible reason Obama will sh*tcan the bill is money. The Saudi foreign minister has threatened if the lawsuit bill passed, his country will unload $750 billion in U.S. treasury securities. This sudden and potentially destabilizing transfer of U.S. assets would be necessary to the Saudi economy given Saudi assets might be frozen in an effort to collect the damages.
Good to know on this anniversary of the deadly attacks of 9/11, Obama has not got our backs, America.
