“Only if you buy the words of leftists”

But people did. It was the NYTimes, doncha know. Their reputation has diminished drastically since Miller started promoting the invasion in 1998.

I don’t understand why Khashoggi went to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in the first place. What was he thinking? He might as well have stuck his head in the open jaws of an alligator.

Saudi Arabia claims that Khashoggi, a Saudi journalist and Washington Post columnist who had been living in the U.S., was accidentally strangled

If the Saudis actually dismembered Khashoggi, this isn't a very good cover story - they'll be asked to produce the body.

“Personally, I could care less what happened to Khashoggi. He certainly is not worth losing sales to Saudi Arabia. Not a fan of Saudi Arabia, but they can be a useful player for the U.S. in that region.”

I agree. Fortunately, we have Trump to stay the course...I hope. I’m guessing the US will take some token action to express our disapproval, but it would be foolish to do something that would lose their cooperation.

..MBS has spent the last year dodging assasination attempts and cleaning out the part of his family who was anti-America and who bankrolled Al Qaeda. Maybe this guy was connected all the way back to Las Vegas...

Apparently Judith had been long term personal friends with Khashoggi.

So, these kind of things happen all the time. MoveOn.

President Trump and the US should act in the way that is best for US national interests going forward. We don’t have to love everything about countries and their leaders who are strategic “allies”. As ugly as it is, it’s not smart to shoot ourselves in the foot over incidents like this.

I couldn’t care less about this story or this reporter. Did the rats give a dam when Daniel Pearl was beheaded on video?

[died in a fist fight = a beatdown by 15 Saudi agents]


The guy was 59 and not exactly in fighting trim. I’d bet on a stroke or heart attack.

Why didn’t they just come out with all the facts and state that he was tried, found guilty, and sentence executed.

This guy was a Saudi citizen, friend of Bin Laden, Muslim Brotherhood, anti Saudi Arabia........ where are all the supporting facts? (may I add friend of Hillary?)
