Uh, we knew that, right? A lot of Al Qaeda's funding came from Saudi Arabia.

    We did, sure, but ask a random person on a street, you're confident they know?

    Oh, absolutely not - political considerations made America stay buddy buddy with Saudi Arabia after 9/11. The state department avoided talking shit about the house of Saud even when falsely assigning blame to Iraq and Iran. One of the best parts of being a millennial is getting that "Obviously what we're saying is total bullshit" education in your youth.
