Footage of Saudi officials in DC pre-9/11 is ‘enraging’: Walder | NewsNation Now

New footage shows Saudi government officials casing Washington before the 9/11 attacks, victims group 9/11 Families United alleges. NewsNation national security contributor Tracy Walder, a former CIA and FBI agent who met with Saudi officials after the 9/11 attacks, says the video “solidifies that the Capitol was a target."

Saudi officials were casing out the Capitol pre 9/11, yet we invaded Afghanistan and Iraq. 🤔

[@nex-ex5100]

Well to be fair Al-Qaeda, who was ran by a Saudi(Bin-Laden) were training and hiding in Afghanistan and being protected by the Taliban. So, we can say the war in Iraq was maybe unjust but the war in Afghanistan was a legitimate target. Maybe not for 20 years but at the end of the day it was a war for blood, not conquest, not resources. You can ask Republicans why they chose to go after Iraq instead of Saudi Arabia, outside the fact that American oil barons are all in bed with OPEC.

Five Dancing Israelis- The terrorists who perpetrated the worst attack on America in its history stated on record that their motivation was America’s unabashed support for the apartheid regime of Israel. Five dancing Israelis were actually caught filming the world trade center attacks and dancing in celebration afterwards. When the Israelis were caught in a van that had contained explosives, they said we are all on the same side now against the Palestinians. The dancing Israelis later admitted on an Israeli talk show that they were there to document the event. Before the US government classified all information on Israel’s involvement in 9-11, the FBI officially concluded that Israel had to have known of the attack before 9-11-2001 and didn’t warn the US. After the attacks, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, “We are benefitting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq.” He also said, “these events have swung American public opinion in our favor.”At best, Israel knew of the attacks before hand and did not warn America because of the strategic support against the Palestinians that it would bring. At worst, Israel had a hand in planning the attacks.

[@trueloveingod2691]

Everything you said is true and that info has been out for 30 years, when in 1994 Netanyahu said that America was going to need to be attacked on our own soil in order for us to understand what Israel is going through and to be mobilized to war in the Middle East. Clearly he was one of the masterminds. But there were many co-conspirators.

[@Will-zy3ru]

Bayoumi was connected to Prince Bandar and got money from Bandar's wife. Prince Bandar was a member of the Saudi royal family and part of the inner circle of the Bush clique. He was so close to the family that they called him "Bandar Bush". Prince Bandar was simultaneously a patron of the hijackers' support network (through Bayoumi, etc.). The neocons that staffed the Bush administration wanted to enhance U.S. hegemony and they knew that "a new Pearl Harbor" would hasten the project. Bush admin deliberately ignored warnings of the impending attacks. This was an inside job: A U.S. neocon - Saudi royal conspiracy.
