I really hope that this was an unfortunate misunderstanding that will be cleared up very shortly.
A case of “possible human trafficking” at a Saudi diplomatic compound in Virginia is under investigation, Homeland Security confirmed to News4.
Agents from U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement/Homeland Security Investigations and Fairfax County police were called to a home in the 6000 block of Orris Street in McLean overnight and, in the words of a source familiar with the investigation, “rescued” two women. One woman reportedly tried to flee by squeezing through a gap in the front gate as it was closing.
…because if it’s not, well. We tend to get a bit touchy on the subject of human slavery on American soil.
Bad touchy.

PS: I don’t care what the rules are in other countries. This is the United States of America: we are not like other countries.
Yes, but when we are represented by a chief executive that makes a regular habit of bowing to foreign heads of state, perhaps you can understand that I don’t necessarily trust that Jack, Diddly, or Squat will actually get done on this matter?

PS: Full steam ahead on the development of Saudi Dakota, if you please.
Ah, but it puts the numbnuts-in-chief in an interesting bind…
.
The Dems have done too good a job at making slavery into a knee-jerk “down with that!” issue for them to let it slide *if it gets widely known* …
.
Thing is, while he may be an American citizen, Obama’s childhood overseas did *not* give him the same knee-jerks that the rest of us have.. he’s going to be out of step here.
.
I’m not sure how many Americans know that the Saudis, touted as our ally, keep slaves, for that matter. It’s been mentioned, but usually quietly.
.
In short, watch for another Gosnell-style media embargo as the media try to protect the numbnuts-in-chief from himself.

Interesting Times .. if we can get this into the water.

I expect no serious reporting and the quiet shipping of Saudi officials home
I’m starting to believe that particular corner of the world would look a lot better as a glass parking lot.
Eh. That would take too much energy.
.
Just let it quietly be known that, as long as Israel isn’t touched, the Russians are welcome to a very warm water port… provided they keep the oil moving.
