It would appear that there is something else going on with Bandar....The stories of the Saudis' buying and breaking hundreds of Saint Louis crystal glasses in the fireplace proceed them....ditto with super expensive china...The crystal stems are about $180/stem.....We KNOW of some situations that has happened....(staff in restaurants talk worldwide!)..... For them to break $10,000 or more a night into fireplaces after toasts were made wasn't unheard of....

So one just has to wonder why such a seemingly little amount would be given....One wonders just how many accounts and "charities" all of the royals gave .....and who was the ultimate receiver.....?

There is MUCH MORE to come out about this, IMO.....how soon it will come out might be another matter.

I want to believe he didn't know, and since he's spent so much time in the US, he would understand how dangerous the 9/11 attack would be in riling up the US "sleeping giant"..
