Unless you want to concede that area to the Russian sphere of influence.
Also a fair point.
Our Saudi friends: 2,996
World's Leading Sponsor of State Terrorism Iran: 0
was any Saudi land originally included in God’s promised land for the Jews, if so they better start packing anyway..
Most of Buchanan’s analogies are not apt. In this case the US is not just weighing morality against national interest, but it’s also making a choice between bad and worse. That is, between a murderous, retrograde tyrannical regime and a murderous, retrograde, tyrannical, expansionist rival. Buchanan seems to favor the latter. Israel probably has something to do with it.
And Tehran and Karachi and Islamabad. And Sanaa and Mogadishu.
agreed, still not punching the enemy
Sure, let’s destabilize another Middle East country. That’s worked so well for us in the past.

Do we want Iran to be the unchecked power broker in the ME?
Of course, we should maintain ally relations with the Saudi government. These incidents occur a,, the time in the dark & hidden shadows of international espionage activity. I am not supporting the Saudi Government, I am just saying we need to be practical in this nutcase world of ours.
Remember, We and the British took in Russian, Murderer, Leader,Joe Stalin to our causes during the Second World War, in order for us to properly develop the “D’ Day attack on Normandy, France. The Russian people suffered immensely to make this happen!!!
Trump is handling this the right and correct way. Respond strongly...but, first get the “FACTS”!!!
[ 16 of 19.
Riyadh, Mecca and Medina should have been smoking craters on 9/12/2001 ]
I would have given them 24 hours, then nuked both sites.
Also we should have told the saudis that the reparation price was 1 billion dollars per 9/11 victim. pay up in oil.
So you are a vote for Iran, and Russia, to be the unchecked powers in the ME.
Really that stupid?
A fact that has NEVER been adequately addressed by the USA, in my opinion.
So we still owe them for that.
But I'm having a hard time understanding why we (the USA, in general, and the government, specifically) should give a rat's ass about this Khasoggi character.
Yes, I know he is/was a US resident, but he's a vicious anti-American a-hole that works for that bird cage liner, the Washington Post.
Just what do we owe him?
What have I missed?
I see no real down side to his demise.
FDR knew about SOBs.. he was one himself. a Democrat tyrant.
He and gutless allies baited this nation into a world war to cover-up for the dismal policies of their own parties and regimes.
Put up or shut up. When has Erdogan been truthful with us?
The question is: What is to be lost?? Just a military base location?? Don’t really need their over-priced oil....
It was Pat Buchanan who referred to Congress as “Israeli-occupied territory”.
Anyway, Saudi Arabia is by far the lesser of two evils if Iran is the other choice.
No.
F’em.
