The Saudis are Fundamentally Jihadists, Not Reliable ‘Counterterrorism Partners’

Last week, CIA Director John Brennan described Saudi Arabia as “among our best counterterrorism partners.” To be sure, such fatuousness emanated from someone so close to the Saudis during his time as the Agency’s top official in their country that he reportedly converted to Islam.

Brennan was moved to defend the Saudi government because Congress had just achieved its first Obama veto override, clearing the way for 9/11 families to sue the Kingdom over its role in the most deadly jihadist attack in U.S. history.

Legislators may revise this law after the election. But Saudi involvement in 9/11 and the Kingdom’s attempts to destroy the U.S. fracking industry won’t go away.  So, America should finally get the debate it has long needed concerning the double-game Saudi Arabia has played against us for decades, even as its jihadist agenda progresses.

Let’s roll!
