“The BLM manages nearly 700 million acres of federal lands in the United States”
Did anybody else see black lives matter at first glance? LOL
You seem to think the house of Saud is one unified entity, it is not. There are thousands upon thousands of members in the house of Saud, filling all sorts of official roles within the government.
They do not March lock step.
If any of those in official power knew and directly financed the 9/11 attacks, that does not mean that all the others knew.. And if they did to stop it would mean they must turn on their own family, perhaps a more powerful member of the family. Also if they turned against the Wahabbists and started to arrest them, then they would likely turn their violence directly against the hous of Saud.
There is a lot more to the political calculus than, oh the US is a big customer.. A lot more.
"But the 25 properties were “non-performing” only because they have been tangled in red-tape since President Barack Obama took office in 2009, even though they were leased in 2005 during George W. Bush’s administration."
"The timing of the cancellation of Mancos leases is especially egregious, because the United States Geological Survey just announced in June that the gas resources in the Mancos Shale formation that covers much of Northwestern and Western Colorado, has 40 times more natural gas than the USGS had projected."
"The USGS originally estimated in 2003 that the Mancos Shale’s Piceance Basin held up to 1.6 trillion cubic feet of gas. Their latest estimate is the formation holds about 66.3 trillion cubic feet of gas." "The area has now been upgraded to “at least the second largest shale gas resource in the United States.” Its potential exceeds the size of the Bakken Shale Play” covering North Dakota and Montana that has almost doubled U.S. oil production since 2009."
Issue new leases with a new clause - all gas brought up must remain in the United States for consumption.
I have it on good sources crappy stuff like this will change during next administration...just saying...LOL!
DRILL BABY DRILL!
Colorado voted Hillary. Perhaps they need 2 years of the Hillary treatment or they can undo their sanctuary cities.
So what are you saying, that somewhere in the hive that passes for a government in Saudi Arabia, might have been people who knew the 9/11 attacks were being planned?
Well fine, but then how does one hold the “whole thing” responsible for the attack? Most of it will protest, and correctly, that they did not know and were not told.
