"The only time this was invoked was after September 11th."

Yes, and that instance was an abuse of NATO since the USA invaded a country that had little to nothing to do with the destruction of the World Trade Center.

Not a single person on any plane flying that day was an Afghan Citizen. The entire plot had been hatched and planned in Germany.

The pilots had trained here. Most were Saudi Citizens.

Using NATO to invade a country like Afghanistan to attack an entity (Al-Qaeda) that the United States itself had created during the Soviet incursion into Afghanistan was a gross manipulation of bad judgement and, I think, evil by George W. Bush and Dick Cheney,

Another abuse of military power by the United States.

And we keep giving the Saudis a free pass. Just last night, I caught some of Senator Blumenthal's hearing on the merger of the PGA and the Saudi group, which was opposed by some within the PGA.

Prog I’m awaiting a Saudi offer to gild Miss Liberty in gold—perhaps with a streak of blood in honor of Kishoggi?

I have often wondered why on earth Kishoggi walked into a Saudi Embassy??

It's not like he was ignorant of Saudi capability and culture. Always will be a puzzle I guess.

I wonder about the woman he was with and how much she influenced him?
