Obama's veto is overturned!

The 9/11 bill will go into law. The House is expected to vote for the bill. Families of 9/11 can now sue Saudi Arabia. It was an overwhelming rebuke of Obama. Only Harry Reid voted with Obama in the Senate. What a surprise. Imagine the secrets that might get exposed.

I personally think it's a bad idea. It's going to open up a can of worms that I think we don't want.

Here's a sample:

Saudi Arabia has told the Obama administration and members of Congress that it will sell off hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of American assets held by the kingdom if Congress passes a bill that would allow the Saudi government to be held responsible in American courts for any role in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Adel al-Jubeir, the Saudi foreign minister, delivered the kingdom’s message personally last month during a trip to Washington, telling lawmakers that Saudi Arabia would be forced to sell up to $750 billion in treasury securities and other assets in the United States before they could be in danger of being frozen by American courts.

It would be hard for the Saudi's to pull it off but if they did basically it would devalue / destabilize or currency and cause global market rifts.

The veto was a good idea and Obama's move to veto the bill was bad- the victims have the right to sue the Saudis if they were involved. Originally Posted by Luke_Wyatt

The Saudi's likely won't do this but in terms of immunity as a country we are now fucked. The CIA and our covert military operatives are screwed. This is just a rabbit trail we should not have gone down since we are the worlds power broker and have so many vested global interests. A very very bad move in my view.

W and Dick will be happy to hear that.Plus some other hawks.

Can’t believe it took our representatives the 11th hour and 59th minute to grow a pair.
Guess they’ll brag about that when running for reelection.

Obama in terms of politics is a young man and is very anti-establishment. If most republicans could see past race they'd understand just how talented and smart he truly is. They're still playing partisan politics while he actually thinks his way through the ramifications of an issue (i.e the Big picture).

Most of the republicans on this site complaining about money ($400M Principal) that we recently had to pay back to Iran because of future international court litigation have no idea what such a decision like this has opened up in terms of the US being targets now. We do so much shit in other countries that the average citizen is unaware of till it's not even funny. This really is bad news for us but the Senate and House (blue dogs as well) will have to own this down the road. In no way will they be able to tie Obama's name to it in any fashion once it backfires.

I also think we need to get rid of Chuck Shumer (will be minority leader) as he panders and puts the interest of Israel ahead of he US far too much for my liking. I say get rid of Shumer just like we got rid of the turncoat Joe Lieberman.
