    Khashoggi was a Muslim Brotherhood sympathizer and friend of Bin Ladin. I'm not sure what he was doing to keep me free.

    How do you know this? And I am not necessarily talking about him. Trump and the flock wouldn't give a sht if an American journalist was murdered.

    He was not a friend of Bin Ladin, but he did interview Bin Ladin early in Bin Ladin's career. He was critical of the new dictator and this is what may have gotten him killed.

    He wasn't an American journalist.

    Friend of Bin Ladin.

    Trump and his flock wouldn't give a sht if he was an American journalist. He was not a friend of Bin Ladin. Googled it. Why don't you?

    If he were an American journalist, that would totally change this story. But since he wasn't, why do you keep throwing out that ridiculous hypothetical? The fact is, he wasn't an American.

    As for Bin Ladin, did you not read the link supplied?

    Consulates can't be shut down but can be closed by the country to which the consulate belongs. They are protected by UN laws. Deportation is not an easy process when it comes to diplomats. Saudi consulate general has left Turkey a few days ago.

    I give you a clue, the rest is up to you:

    El-Batrawi !

    No, it would not change the story. Remember that trump and his flock regard journalists as the "enemy of the people."
    I did not read that link. Did you google it?

    Do you have anything backing this claim?

    Some arguments are too dumb to entertain, and given that Khashoggi is NOT an American, your constant bringing that up means you don't really have an argument. You are simply angry.

    Friend of bin Laden... in the 70s, by the looks of it, at a time before he was planning any terroristic acts, when both were very young, religious men.

    Good god, you people are disgusting. Khashoggi had once known bin Laden a very long time ago, so now it's A-OK if he is murdered by the Saudis?

    The RW believes that "1+1=3" because Trump tells them to.

    Of course they are going to buy into any BS Fever SWAMP narrative that is floating around about KSA.

    Hmmm don't think I said it was "OK" that he was murdered by the Saudi's. But that doesn't make this a US foreign policy crisis.

    I don't know. But it has something to do about American journalists, even though this thread and subject have nothing to do with American journalists. So obviously you have issues that are outside this topic.

    You're absolutely wrong on all counts.
    Saudi Arabia, is not, has not and never has been an ally of the United States. It is a leach on the United States. We need them for absolutely nothing geopolitically. We are an energy independent country and if you look at North America between Mexico and Canada, we are the most energy rich place on earth. This is a despotic regime. They have imported Islamic extremism to every corner of the world. There were fifteen of the nineteen hijackers of 9/11 that were Saudis. They are engaged in war crimes in Yemen where hundreds of thousands have been killed with American weaponry. In the same way that Paul Manafort's criminality was an open secret in Washington, exactly who MbS is, is also an open secret in D.C.

    There's nothing more shameful than a newly inaugurated U.S. president that goes to Saudi Arabia on his first official trip, a place where we hail MbS as a progressive because women can now drive a car alone. We need them for NOTHING. The Saudis, with their money, have corrupted the American system of government. It's time for every PR agency in this country that has an office in Riyadh to shut it down. It's time for every lobbying firm to fire the Saudis. It's time for every state pension fund to divest of Saudi money. It's time for every technology company and every media company that is taking dirty Saudi money to send it back.

    This is a disgrace. This moment in time, what we've seen is the murder of a U.S. resident with American citizen children, a Washington Post columnist, with a complicit president who has called journalists the 'enemy of the people'. The American people should rise up against this. We should put truth to the lie about who this guy is and what this regime is.

    Maybe not if we weren't selling arms to Saudi Arabia. We can't have such close allies carrying on like this, and the situation in Yemen ought to have been a crisis of at least this magnitude already. Enough of the hypocrisy abroad.

    Why can't we? What business is it of ours? Everybody on the left has thier panties in a bunch about holding Iran's feet to the fire regarding nuclear development while they capture and kill american and make prisoners of other Americans and supplied the rebel soldiers in Irag killing our troops. That is ok and we should just forgive and forget, but some foreign journalist gets killed and you want America to sanction Saudi Arabia.

    Saudi Arabia donated 10 million dollars to Hillary Clinton to win her over. Had she been our sitting president right now she would be doing NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. To single out Trump and his supporters is wrong when the Democrats would not be doing anything.

    So what are we supposed to do? People are murdered all the time. Do you want to start a war every single time it happens?

    The left is so fake. They tried to say Trump would bring us into WW3 but that never happened. The Democrats pushed us closer to a war with Russia then the Republicans ever did and now they want us to go to war with Saudi Arabia and at the same time complain about Republicans starting wars and spending to much money on the military. It makes no sense to me at all.

    Hillary takes 10 million donation from the Saudi's and the left does not care but now they care because a journalist is dead? People are murdered all the time. It's sad and wrong but what are we supposed to do about it? Is the left ready for another war in the middle east?

    I just don't understand them at all. They defend Iran and don't notice when a journalist in Mexico is murdered but want to burn Saudi Arabia over this? I don't get it.

    Saudi Arabia likes to abuse it's power and it can get away with it when it bribes other countries. They may have a deal with Trump. It would not surprise me after they gave Hillary ten million dollars to win her over. Whoever they think will be in power in the US they try to bribe with money or deals for favoritism. The Democrats are guilty of this just as much as any Republican is. Saudi Arabia is very corrupt but what are we supposed to do about that?

    Are you ready for another war in the middle east? If your answer is no then there is nothing we can do about this.

    Mollie Tibbit's, a young woman in Iowa was recently murdered by an illegal immigrant. Elizabeth Warren stated that "we need to focus on bigger problems". Seems kind of fake that the left does not care about some murders but acts like it's the end of the world over other murders. I think they are all bad but the left seems to only care if it fits their political agenda. That is sad.

    As for Saudi we do not need to go to war with them. The last war in the middle east (Iraq) was hard on our economy and our soldiers. I don't care for Saudi Arabia but there is nothing we can do about this that I know of without pissing of Saudi or starting a war. If Hillary was our president she would be doing NOTHING too. Don't forget she took ten million from Saudi Arabia as a donation.

    Why do you left wingers keep attacking Trump and his supporters? Hillary Clinton took 10 million dollar donation from Saudi Arabia and we both know it was political. So she would also be doing NOTHING right now. Anyone that thinks the Democrats actually care about this has been spoon fed the liberal brain washing machine of BS and lies and it needs to stop. The Democrats would be doing the same thing as Trump is.
