2016: "it wasn't the Iraqis, you will find out who really (did 9/11)...you may find it's the Saudis"

[DickKessler]

“It wasn’t the Iraqis that knocked down the World Trade Center. We went after Iraq, we decimated the country, Iran’s taking over…but it wasn’t the Iraqis, you will find out who really knocked down the World Trade Center, because they have papers in there that are very secret, you may find it’s the Saudis, okay? But you will find out,” Trump said at a Wednesday campaign event in Bluffton, South Carolina.

Hmm....how things change eh?

Was it the sword dance, the orb, or all that Saudi money invested in Trump properties? Did MBS's pal Jared persuade his father-in-law that the Saudis are the good guys? Perhaps all of the above?

1. I'm going with "all of the above"

plus he didn't want to end up on the sharp end of that bone saw for not playing nice.

[DickKessler]

2. Hey, if he falls out with the Saudis, he can always seek asylum in Russia.

5. He fears Putin. He eats fast food because he's scared of being poisoned

Now who is still poisoning people these days? Hmmmmm

He is a germaphobe, I get that but he really thinks someone might poison him. Also the thing with the ketchup bottles.

7. Yeah fair, I'm guessing even Putin is fed up with Trump's bullshit by now. And Vlad is kinda busy...

...at the moment. Ugh.

[underpants]

3. "they have papers in there that are very secret"

He got lost in the middle of a sentence.

[DickKessler]

4. He was talking about the (since mostly declassified) "28 pages."

At least, that's what I think he was referring to. Who knows with him, though. I don't pretend to understand how Trump's very...*ahem* special mind works.

6. They had this on the ABC evening news last night they had TFG saying the Saudi's weren't behind

9-11 now and then that footage of him from 2016 saying the Saudi’s were behind 9-11.

It really made him look like the lying POS he really is.

[Wounded Bear]

8. It never was the Iraqis...

those of us who were paying attention knew that in 2001. It was always Saudis, protected by the Taliban in Afghanistan.

[DickKessler]

9. Trump seems to think he was the only one who knew that. Because he's a "very stable genius"

Or something.

[Chainfire]

10. It Trump leaking highly classified information?

Of course, no one believes anything that comes out of his upper anus. I don't even think that his followers really believe him, but they are happy to hear what they want to hear.

11. Knew this from the start. 17 of the hijackers were saudi. It's not that hard to figure out.

Sadly the fascist war loving media was too busy cheering for "shock and awe" to do any real investigation.

[stopdiggin]

12. 2 things. First Donald Trump expounding on - anything

is about the farthest thing from confirmation (or even suggestive) of anything - as it is possible to be while on the same planet.

and 2) any suggestion that the Saudi leadership, or government, was interested in waging jihad against the U.S. - is almost entirely a (poorly done) cut and paste mock up - of delusional conspiracy. Believe me - we looked! (and looked hard!) And the consensus was - it just didn't happen like that. Will that stop people from repeating the same foolish things 40 years from now? Of course not. We still have people feverishly 'investigating' (and basically wasting their lives on) the assassination in Dallas. Likewise, remember that we had plenty of 'people in a position to know' that were more than willing to find 'commies' under every bed during the 50s and 60s. And, guess what - those super patriots, and people 'in the know', are still with us! But, most of us - the sane among us - were ready to move on, and move forward.

We have/had exactly one Saudi, with any type of 'rank or connection' within the establishment - and that connection was apparently both fairly tenuous, and estranged. And then we have foot soldier fanatics - and as we have since found out, the Middle-east is simply awash in them. And 30 years from now - that will still be the story - unless you too want to dive down the rabbit hole.
