Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo decried the Biden administration's release of a declassified report regarding Saudi Arabia's involvement in the murder of Jamal Khashoggi on Sunday, calling the report's release a "reckless" move.
Speaking on Fox News on Sunday, the former secretary of State under the Trump administration argued that the Biden administration had "political" motives for releasing the report and was bent on souring the U.S.-Saudi relationship over the issue.
"The release of this report was reckless....this administration wants to develop a relationship with Iran and destroy one with the kingdom of Saudi Arabia ...

Just add this to the pile of reckless decisions by never right Biden.
Obama/Harris/Biden released the report, hoping to use “shame” as wedge against the Saudis, for the purpose of trying to keep the Saudis from joining other Arab states in diplomatic deals with Israel.
10 mm Is right
Demolishcrat ....... I like that
I sure wish the Trump Adminstration had done a lot more releasing of information! No better way to drain the Swamp then to dry it with the noon day sunshine!

“Picks Iran over Saudi Arabia”
Iran is ruled by “twelver” Islam and unlike the old Soviet Union it is liable to ignite a huge war without batting an eye.
The Soviets in their atheistic glory weren’t eager to see what the next world has in store for them. Twelver Islam by contrast believes that their Mahdi will return during an apocalyptic war to convert the entire world to Islam.
Saudi Arabia pales by comparison. They might cut off your thieving hand or stone your fornicating girlfriend to death but they won’t cheerfully light the world on fire in a fit of religious zeal.
Wade picks Iran basically because Hezbollah protects Christians and other minorities in contested places against ISIS etc
4chan is not an Israel first site admittedly....it’s 90% non USA members and as u know it’s different in Europe and austrialia etc over hat topic than here
Bush savored his visit with the Saudis. Even strolled around holding hands. Bush was treacherous and dishonest.
He is a #nevertrumper who likes RINOs.
If muzzards of any stripe wish to chop each other up I will not be too upset.
Trump danced with them. With a sword. Gleefully. Want I should post the video link?
No doubt. This is the most dangerous yet though.
Iran would eventually force everyone to convert to Islam. Wade should read up on Twelth Imam Shiite Islam. It’s what those mullahs are all about.
By contrast a secular Muslim like Saddam Hussein wasn’t into radical Islam. He’d give it lip service on occasion but that’s all. He had Christian Iraqis in his cabinet.
Saudi Wahhabism is intolerant and sponsors trouble but nothing like what Iran has been into since 1979. And the current Prince is attempting to drag Saudi Arabia away from Wahhabism and into the modern age. The Middle East is a complicated region. Only fools like Bush the Younger would think it can be turned into Western liberal democracies.
“Trump danced with them. With a sword. Gleefully. Want I should post the video link?”
Fools often focus on the surface of diplomatic gestures and bluster as if they have great importance. It’s respecting the customs of your host. Something I’m sure that you practice every day in Tokyo by removing your shoes.
Yes Tokyo sure hated him or her some Trump as I recall
