If you're looking for evidence that the U.S. has no business trying to sort out the Mideast, look no further than a couple of incidents that occurred last week

Don't look now, but Donald Trump is on the verge of accomplishing one of the biggest goals he endorsed during the 2016 presidential campaign. He promised he would debunk the notion that the Beltway crowd was capable of micromanaging the Mideast.
Thanks to Saudi Arabia's recent conduct, we now have irrefutable proof of that thesis. The way Trump did so was brilliant. He named as his envoy to the Mideast a Jersey guy whose prior experience in diplomacy consisted of getting the Eatontown Township Committee to cooperate on his plan for remaking an aging mall his family owns there.
Jared Kushner then went off to Riyadh to canoodle with new Saudi leader Mohammed bin Salman - "MBS" as he's known. The goal was to finally negotiate that Mideast peace agreement that's been missing for the past 20 centuries or so. But if those audios surreptitiously recorded by the Turks are accurate, it looks like MBS was responsible for that plan to snatch exiled journalist Jamal Kashoggi when he showed up at the Saudi Consulate in Turkey. If you're looking for evidence that the U.S. has no business trying to sort out the Mideast, look no further than a couple of incidents that occurred last week
The resulting scandal threatens to bring an end to the special relationship the U.S. has had for almost a century. Nice work, kid. That relationship was always a bit nutty. But that didn't stop the typical American diplomat - or journalist - from visiting Saudi Arabia and offering an analysis that went something like this: "Sure they chop people's hands off, they chop people's heads off and they crucify people, but let's look at the bright side."

If this is true and Kushner feels that way, I disagree.
When King Saud was conquering the Arabian Peninsula in the 1700s, Mohammad al Wahabb was Saud's spiritual adviser.
I have the same interpretation of Islam as did al Wahab, and as does the Saudi family elites.
Making peace with any Kafirs, and certainly not with Jews who have been singled out in the Koran as top targets, is out of the question.
Of course they can deceive us by practicing taqiyya and I assume the Saudis are. - Tom
Saudi Arabia should have been turned into radioactive glass on 9/12/2001.

Yes.
Yes.
But if those audios surreptitiously recorded by the Turks are accurate...
...and they aren't, they' entirely fabricated. Even if they were true, the "journalist" also advocated in favor of the US' deserving 9/11, among many other jihadist views. Good riddance.
I see that the old “Red Star Ledger” of shitsville, Newark, is still publishing its crap. Nothing ever changes in a New Jersey dump, be it Newark, Trenton, Camden, Jersey City, etc.
The crooked politicians, the Mafia Jersey Boys, and the Democrat Party machine has made sure of that.
Wow. Menendez, Murphy, Booker (Mr. Fartacus), etc. are really the best that Jersey has to offer. That is like saying that the best Russia had to offer was Lenin, Stalin, Beria, and K.
