If Elected

If Elected President by John Myers

Some months ago Hillary Clinton said that if elected president she, like Barack Obama, would cancel the Keystone XL pipeline that would have created thousands of jobs and could have been a blueprint for energy security during these tumultuous times in the Middle East, which is a reservoir for two-thirds of the world’s light-crude oil and virtually all the cheap oil remaining in the world.

A study earlier this year by the Wall Street Journal found that in the last 14 years the Clinton Foundation has raised almost $2 billion. A reasonable estimate is that the Saudi government and private Saudi Arabian citizens have given the Clintons $700 million to $800 million.

Why this money was paid out is unknown; perhaps to keep Hillary quiet on Saudi involvement in 9/11 which remains hidden in 28 redacted pages in the 9/11 Commission report. When asked about the 28 pages, Clinton said, “I’m not commenting.”

But there are some former elected representatives that see a connection between 9/11 and Saudi Arabia.

Former Sen. Bob Graham (D-Fla.), who worked on the 9/11 report, told “60 Minutes” last month the classified information he saw outlines a network of people he believes supported the hijackers while they were in the U.S.

He said the hijackers were “substantially” supported by the Saudi government, as well as charities and wealthy people in that country.

“I think it is implausible to believe that 19 people, most of whom didn’t speak English, most of whom never had been in the United States before, many of whom didn’t have a high school education — could’ve carried out such a complicated task without some support from within the United States,” Graham said.

The 28 pages were cut from the report on the 9/11 terror attacks in 2003 by the George W. Bush administration in the interest of national security. Porter Goss, who was Graham’s co-chairman during the inquiry, said the FBI refused to declassify the information at the time.

It doesn’t seem quite so hard to believe there is a conspiracy between Washington and Riyadh. It all appears to be a very serious indictment.

Omitted is Hillary’s hypocrisy.

As perhaps our next president, who proclaims that she is fighting for women’s rights around the world and says nothing about the treatment of women in Saudi Arabia where women are not people but property, Hillary turns a blind eye to Saudi abuses.
