Fox News ^ | 11/10/2022 | Ronn Blitzer

The White House has declassified and released the 9/11 Commission's notes on an interview they held with then-President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney in 2004, exploring the situations prior to, during, and after the attacks on the U.S. on Sept. 11, 2001.

One area of discussion was how the U.S. had been working on counterterrorism prior to the attacks. Bush said that in early 2001 his administration had been working "to change the conditions that caused terror to arise." In particular, Bush mentioned working on relations with Uzbekistan and Saudi Arabia.

"This was a difficult problem," the document states, describing what Bush said. The president explained that Crown Prince Abdullah had been unhappy with the U.S. approach to Israel and the Palestinian intifada.

The entire Saudi royal bloodline should have been exterminated once the US found out they were funding the hijackers.

To be fair, Bush didn’t give us Obama, the American voters did. The voters and whoever groomed and funded Obama’s meteoric rise in politics.

“The entire Saudi royal bloodline should have been exterminated...”

Do we have enough ammo for that? There’s like 10,000 petty princes in SA.

RINOs and other Assistant Democrats -- in case you'd never noticed this before, you can't possibly do enough to please your "friends" and "colleagues" in the Demagogic Party.

Didn't work. Any more than Kamala has addressed the root causes of illegal immigration.
