Woot. My wife won't touch a chain saw. Tomorrow I have to drop about four trees in a small area next to a motor home for a neighbor. Can you be here by say, 10ish? I gots steaks and whiskey.

Definitely. Otherwise, they'd need to throw me off a building, hang me, and stone me to death at the same time.

I'm all for putting the screws to the KSA and their state-sponsored terror, but I kinda wonder why this is only an issue now. We should have bombed Riyadh in 2001, not Kabul. We should have invaded Saudi Arabia in 2003, not Iraq. If we were serious about terror and Islamic Fundamentalism.

President Bush 2's administration chose to redirect our collective animosity from 9/11 toward Iraq on false pretenses.

Anyone with half a brain knows that, and it removed Iran's only regional check.

Next on the agenda, a bill that allows Iraqis to file the largest class action lawsuit in the history of mankind against the U.S.
 
Re: Congress Passes Bill to Let 9/11 Families Sue Saudi Arabia, Obama Expected to Vet

Vetoing this is disgusting, imo.

Well, enough Americans were sufficiently stupid, ignorant, and/or apathetic enough to let it slide.

True. But it is not likely that the Saudi government or ruler supported or condoned the attacks. It does not fit their behavior patterns or their interests.

The Bush family is far more corrupt than anyone would ever imagine.

If 9/11 families can sue Saudi Arabia, does that mean Sfghans, Iraqis, Syrians, etc. can sue our servicemen over collateral damage?
