Today the Gardian http://www.guardian.co.uk/... is reporting Tony Blair and Great Britain for that matter was black mailed into ceasing the BEA weapons bride scandal investigation that hit the county recently. The Gardian wrote "Saudi Arabia's rulers threatened to make it easier for terrorists to attack London unless corruption investigations into their arms deals were halted, according to court documents revealed yesterday".
All I could think is wow! How is this possible and how does a country like Great Britain give in to a threat like this? As the paper put it "a gun had been held to the governments head and they rolled over". Who side are the Saudi's on? We the west have protected the Saudi regime for years because we wanted a stable government that would keep the oil flowing and keep a lid on extremist. It seems the Saudi's government itself are terrorist's.
It then Begs the question has the US been threatened by Saudi Arabia? Has the Bush family’s relationship has with the Saudi’s affected US interests. Bush senior is on the Board of the Carlisle Group which invests for Saudi Arabia. Moreover, Bush senior is the only living retired President to continue to read the daily threat estimates. There are a long line of questions and answers US citizens need to ask and get answered. I hope my Senator Bob Casey, Specter, and Congressman Altmire investigate the potential risks of Saudi Arabia.
