In April, Saudi Arabia warned it would start selling as much as $750 billion in Treasuries and other assets if Congress passes a bill allowing the kingdom to be held liable in U.S. courts for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, according to the New York Times. The threat comes amid a renewed push by presidential candidates and legislators from both the Democratic and Republican parties to declassify a 28-page section of a 2004 U.S. government report that is believed to detail possible Saudi connections to the attacks. The bill, which passed the Senate on May 17, is now in the House of Representatives.

Sorry but SA is a red herring in those redacted pages.
Much closer to home and that's why they're redacted.
If it was SA they couldn't do diddly squat to the US Military Industrial Complex...
Nor economically.
Israel on the other hand...

I think burgerbuddy makes a good point above.
So what if they sell it.
It's not gonna change how much is owed, just the party who is owed.

Just a question, the big threat is selling off bad US debt?
Who'd buy that?
Who's got $750 bil anyway, to blow?
Let em sell it off. Better than owing them all that money.
