  1. If that Fox report is legit then it is reprehensible. Hopefully the American people will be made aware before 50% of them let Obama get away with it.

  2. Perhaps with the recent discovery of 50 billion barrels of oil in Texas the USA can finally kiss that cesspool of the ME off. Who controls who? The USA is supporting the Sunni uprising in Syria which I am sure the Saudis love. Who is the greatest threat to the Saudis in the ME but Iran.
    What has the USA learned after 9/11 but that the funder and on the ground leadership of anti western sentiment is radical Islamism from Saudi Arabia. Does the USA fear that detaining Saudis for suspected bombings in America could led to reactions to US citizens in Saudi Arabia? If so then I suggest they cut the strings of support and let the Iranians run things for awhile.

  3. Benghazi, Fast and Furious, Fort Hood…, now this.
    Obama and his administration have more loose ends to try and tie up than an area rug weaver.

  4. Well that is strange…I don’t recall that the “Obama-Nation(tm)” had the campaign slogan:
    “Set the Al Qaedists free!”

  5. Obama would never betray one of his brothers. Just keep in mind that Obama is NOT A MUSLIM. Nope he’s not. 100% sure on that.

  6. The Saudis almost certainly already know everything about this “boy.” Since we can’t waterboard him, or even make him stand for extended periods of time, or discomfort or even discomfit him in any way, I guess it is up to the Saudis to find out what happened.

  7. Oh, can it, i/ok. Torture him? What for? Putting down crusaders just because they can is the perfect way for the Muslims to remind the Christians who’s boss.
    I called this days ago. Nobody involved in this will ever answer for it in any meaningful way. If this young man was involved (and police still have no other suspects they’ll let on about), and the Ulster example is anything to go by, he has a long, prosperous career ahead of him in the Saudi parliament. (“Vote for me. They say I killed Martin Richard.”)
    Of course, it’s just possible it wasn’t him. In that case, were I his father and in any position to do anything about it, I too might have moved heaven and earth to see he came home and stayed there for his own safety. Nice to be reminded that there are a few Muslims who aren’t so far gone that they’ll try to do the right thing by their children, the best way they know how. A sign that there’s hope that at least a few might be persuaded to turn to God, and be forgiven.
    Pity that in the meantime they’re so keen on killing ours.

  8. Last phrase uttered on that clip says 90% of what you need to know: “that’s how we appease them…”

  9. “he has a long, prosperous career ahead of him in the Saudi parliament. (“Vote for me. They say I killed Martin Richard.”)
    What Saudi Parliament does thou speaketh of?

  10. I am beginning to think Obama had something to do with these bombings,
    and mailed himself a poisoned letter.
    Bush Conspiracy add on.

  11. Fearless Leader, you have put in words what I’m sure many people think is happening with Dumbo & Co.

  12. @th3j35t3r: Confirmed: Boston/Saudi national to be deported, has not one not two but three B10 flags on his name associated with terrorism.

  13. The Blaze claims that their source for this information (which was way ahead of any public announcements) now claims the feds/justice dept. is issuing orders declaring the paper work on the Saudis and on the previous investigations be classified as “Secret”.
    In other words … they are busy trying to push the story into the memory hole.
    That would be a criminal conspiracy.

  14. Yeah, let’s look at the past week or so. The Fed is still printing a Trillion dollars a year, and the US dollar is really starting to feel the pressure. Goldman-Sachs, the Fed’s best buddy on the street suggests dumping gold. Mass exodus of gold along with a somewhat disappointing growth number from China causes chaos in the gold market, other precious metals, etc.
    Now, this is a good thing for Bernanke and Obama because the dollar now looks a bit better again in the eyes of currency investors. Therefore, no need to ‘stop the presses’ just yet.
    People start to clue into this set of coincidences and all of a sudden bombs start going off, ricin shows up in letters and a fertilizer plant goes bang in a big way.
    Now, I can’t prove any of these were linked to anything else, nor can I assess blame to any particular individual or entity. But, if you’re looking for a diversion from the possible ‘gold scam to boost the dollar’ thing, well, let’s just say I haven’t heard much about that particular event since the bombs went off.

  15. Forgot to add the fact that a ‘person of interest’ gets disappeared in a fairly blatant way with Obama’s help. Hmmm.

  16. Brian M: Roger Kimball has this:
    “It is very odd. Most people are just not as Hume-ian as the president when it comes to discerning a link between “A” and “B.” Hume famously attacked the idea of causation, pointing out that just because “B” regularly has happened after “A” does not mean that “A” causes “B.” There might be a conjunction, Hume allowed, but to speak of causation is to speak presumptuously.
    Logically, Hume had a point. But when it comes to what actually happens in the world, most people are, and rightly are, very imperfect Hume-ians. They observe connections. Then they draw conclusions. They observe (to take just a few recent examples):
    the 1983 U.S. Embassy bombing in Saudi Arabia, perpetrated by the Islamic Jihad Organization (63 dead, 120 wounded).
    the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, masterminded by Razmi Yousef (6 dead, 1000 wounded).
    the 1993 Bombay bombings, perpetrated by “underworld criminal groups affiliated with Islamic groups” (257 dead, 713 wounded).
    the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing, courtesy of Hezbollah (20 dead, 372 wounded).
    the 1997 Luxor attack, perpetrated by pals of the conspirators of the first World Trade Center bombing (62 killed and mutilated, 26 injured).
    the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, brought to you by Osama bin Laden and friends (223 dead, 4000+ wounded).
    the 2000 bombing of the U.S.S. Cole, more friends of Osama bin Laden (17 American sailors killed, 39 injured).
    the destruction of the World Trade Towers and attack on the Pentagon on September 11, 2001: you know all about that (nearly 3000 dead).
    the 2002 bombing of a Bali nightclub, perpetrated by al Qaeda and affiliates (202 killed, 300 injured).
    the July 2005 London bombings, perpetrated by “four Islamist home-grown terrorists” (52 killed, 700 injured).
    the 2009 Fort Hood shootings, sole suspect, Nidal Malik Hasan (13 dead, 30 injured).
    et very much cetera.”

  17. Wow so surprised that the left is wrong once again about it being some lone wolf nut. These people will stop at nothing and can’t be reasoned with, negotiated with, apologized to. The only thing they understand is a boot in the face. Bush understood that, Obama (NOT A MUSLIM) doesn’t.

  18. Cal: The House of Saud condescend to permit a Consultative Assembly of 150 members to advise them on policy. King Abdullah insists for propaganda purposes that at least thirty of these be women, which should indicate to anyone how little power the Assembly really has.
    The king, of course, retains all powers of government, and rules by decree. He appoints all Assembly members himself, preventing it from becoming a focus of meaningful opposition. In this manner it closely resembles the Canadian Senate and the “reformed,” that is emasculated British House of Lords that the ruling party can “stack” at will with “life peers” (most of the last of the real nobility were expelled from the Lords by Tony Blair for the crime of voting with the Conservatives).

  19. What? You guys forget about Bush hustling to get the Saudi royal family out of the US right after 9/11 — the biggest terrorist act on American soil, killing 3000 people?
    But that was alright, huh? After all, as Bandar ‘Bush’ and the innumerable pictures of Bush holding hands with the Saudi king attest, there was a ‘special relationship’ there with the Bushes and the country that gave us most of the 9/11 hijackers.
    Let’s not even speak of Bush Sr. on the board of the Carlyle Group along with Bin Laden’s brother.
    What f-ing hypocrites and traitors you all are.

  20. If it quacks and waggles like a duck, has feathers and webbed feet….it is, in all probability, a duck. I share your speculations, Brian…anyone who has shared ‘digs’ with Billy Ayers ( a pal of the gal in ‘related’ link) is not above suspicion, IMO.

  21. Not everyone is, I’m sure.
    I thought of this two days ago. Why the special relationship?
