RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — The U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia has issued a warning about a potential militant plot to kidnap Western oil workers.

The warning, issued late Friday, said officials received information about a threat to kidnap the workers, including Americans, from oil fields in the kingdom's Eastern province.

The embassy said it had "no further information on the timing, target, location or method of any planned attacks." The Saudi government and its official Saudi Press Agency made no immediate mention of the warning.

They will be sweating until something happens that they can claim justifies their letter. So, yeah, if I were Obama, I would keep the country on high alert until November 2016. And I would not count on the CIA to give advance warning, because they are loyal to Brother Jeb and the Oil Industry.

Hmm. If Congress shuts down our national security teams through lack of funding, who will get the blame if another 9-11 happens? Congress or the President?
