Didn't we know on 9-13 that most of the attackers were Saudi?

5. Gosh! You mean the fact that the majority of those 19 hijackers were Saudis
really DIDN'T mean Saddam was behind 9/11? And all this time...OMG, what next? There were no WMDs either? Methinks we've been lied to.

Nothing surprises me any more when it comes to our government lying its ass off. It's pathological at this point. Shit, they lie even when they don't have to lie, just for the hell of it.

Bush Gang dance to the Saudi tune. They know it's better to hold the hand that feeds them.
