Senate passes bill allowing 9/11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia

[coldjoint]

When will the Senate pass a bill that allows Iraqis to sue the U.S?

That was not a terrorist attack. Next.

Clearly sir you love the terrorists

That's a bit rich with what the US has done in the Middle East in the last sixty years for cheap oil, one man terrorist is another man's freedom fighter

What relevance does that have to the victims of the Iraq war?

What's that have to do with this post? A distraction?

And, no...I never said that. If you're going to create a distraction at least get my comments right.

He can't. It's a cathartic - abreact response.

... read this post of yours, and then read your response before about my supposedly hurt feelings. Then read this post of yours again, to yourself.

More projecting, this time with less affect.

Just that, it was a war.

If Saudi Arabia was behind 9/11, shouldn't we attack Iran?

...no ****, sherlock?

Congress overrides the president. Not signatures from Larry down the street.

But Larry is the man. He told me has the answers.

The truth is so painful sometimes that many humans avoid confronting it.

So let me get this straight, state-sponsored violence can do no wrong?

War is war. We wore uniforms, get it?

The Conspiracy theorist are going to have a huge problem with this

It's not the same thing. At all.

The House has not passed it, likely will not, and Obama has already said he will protect Saudi because if we allow this to proceed, many other countries could sue the US for the crimes we have committed.

North Korea.

Canada.

 

[Blue_State]

Canada.

And somehow you made the most sense. They are always talking out of the sides of their heads.

Things get more and more interesting.

The President is gonna veto this, so the question is: Will there be enough people willing to override the veto?

I can see it now, liberal holy UN will disallow suits against muslim nations like SA, but will allow all suits against the US.

Does that make Abu Ghraib right? Say an American soldier raped an Iraqi woman during the war, does she or does she not have a right to reparation, whether in the form of compensation or retribution?

But you see, according to some esteemed members of the community and their replies in this topic, the same standard can never apply to the U.S.

American exceptionalism is such a malignant amalgam of hubris and belligerence.

Why don't you tell me what made 9/11 right?
