With “friends” like the Saudis, does America need enemies?

Sure, they’ve helped us consumers of gasoline of late by lowering oil prices. But the Saudis’ stated reason for doing so should give us all pause: They want to destroy the U.S. fracking industry.

Now, Saudi Arabia is threatening to engage in another act of economic warfare. They say they’ll dump hundreds of billions of dollars in our Treasury notes if Congress lets victims of 9/ll sue the Kingdom over its alleged role in that murderous act of jihad.

Even though Republican and Democratic administrations have concealed information about the Saudis’ involvement in the September 11th attacks, a federal court has established evidence of both its complicity and that of Iran.

When President Obama visits Saudi Arabia this week, will he call out these so-called “friends” for their double-game – or continue our dangerous submission to it?
