It is over 7 years into the Obama Administration. Do we really need another example of how quickly and easily it will capitulate to another country’s demands – even when the demands are absolutely unfair and unreasonable?
What am I referring to? Read the first three paragraphs of Mark Mazzetti’s article in today’s New York Times, and see for yourself:
Saudi Arabia has told the Obama administration and members of Congress that it will sell off hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of American assets held by the kingdom if Congress passes a bill that would allow the Saudi government to be held responsible in American courts for any role in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
The Obama administration has lobbied Congress to block the bill’s passage, according to administration officials and congressional aides from both parties, and the Saudi threats have been the subject of intense discussions in recent weeks between lawmakers and officials from the State Department and the Pentagon. The officials have warned senators of diplomatic and economic fallout from the legislation.
Adel al-Jubeir, the Saudi foreign minister, delivered the kingdom’s message personally last month during a trip to Washington, telling lawmakers that Saudi Arabia would be forced to sell up to $750 billion in treasury securities and other assets in the United States before they could be in danger of being frozen by American courts.
Saudi Arabia doesn’t like the prospect of having to explain itself regarding 911? It is threatening to damage our economy if we allow this to happen?
There are two ways the administration can go on this. It can either say that weather Saudi Arabia likes it or not, we are still a sovereign country, and this is what our courts will decide. If you did nothing wrong you have nothing to worry about and there will be no consequences.
Or it can say -Okay master, okay boss, we will do whatever you say.
Well, this is the administration of Barack Obama. So the answer is ok master okay boss.
Unbelievable. But you just read it, didn’t you?
I count the days until January 20th of next year. It can’t come soon enough.
