See Lindsey Graham's scathing rebuke after CIA briefing

[McRocket]

Good for Graham.

 

[deanrd]

Oh please.

He's so two faced, who cares what he says?

 

[fncceo]

Who, precisely, was scathed?

 

[McRocket]

Oh please.

He's so two faced, who cares what he says?

Well, you do since you posted in a thread about him.

And did you see the video...or did you just see the title and brush it off? So, in your eyes, once someone is in your doghouse - they can never say ANYTHING worthy again. Pretty lame attitude.
And assuming you did see the video - what exactly about it do you disagree with?


Graham is (apparently) stating the truth - regardless of his close ties to Trump.

That is refreshing in these days of vicious partisanship on Capitol Hill.


Khashoggi was obviously murdered on order from the Saudi crown prince. Plus, Graham - a hawk - is talking about cutting military sales to Saudi Arabia. A VERY good thing, IMO.

So let's try to be consistent here...

Are we going to sever relations with every tinhorn dictator who can be shown to have killed a political opponent?

That's like saying you are going to cut off all your relatives who have ever broken the speed limit. Pretty soon you will be alone on an island.

Nobody I've seen has come up with an appropriate response.

Lindsey Graham Is Furious at Saudi Arabia Now. But He May Still Be More Worried About Iran.

That is the question. And using the Saudis to get Iran to do anything has not, and will not, work. And the US ain't gonna invade Iran.

no one cares about a saudi citizen.

I can't access YouTube from my current location, however, based on the title, I'm going to assume that Graham must have really gotten some GRIM news concerning Trump and his Administration.

He did.

He basically said: 'Enough. Clearly Khashoggi was murdered on orders from the Crown Prince. I have changed my opinion of Saudi Arabia. And - until all those responsible for Khashoggi's murder are brought to justice - I am against further arms sales to SA.'

Graham said nothing about 'severing ties' (though I wish he would - the Saudi Royal family are scum and America does FAR more for SA than the reverse).

He just said he wants all those responsible for the murder brought to justice and he will not support arms sales to SA until that happens.

So you dont give a Shiite about Seth Rich and how no one is giving a shit about his mysterious death? Why do you hate US citizens more than you do Radical Muslims? Are you radicalized?

Good for Graham.

Graham has spent years working to bring us to this. He should spare us his fake outrage.

Who cares if his outrage is fake or real? I assume ALL politicians lie almost ALL the time - on both sides of the aisle.

What matters is that he is going against Trump on this and is supporting cutting military sales to Saudi Arabia.

Or are you saying those are bad things?

I’m saying don’t put your faith in Lindsay fucking Graham.

Where did I say I did? I never, EVER would put my faith in ANY politician (rep or dem).

And I suggest you do the same.

The royal family will produce confessions from random and unpopular individuals. Then it will be over and nothing will have changed.

Seth Rich was obviously murdered for exposing the Hillary Clinton and Debbie Wasamansnitch collusion against Socialist Bernie Sanders in taking the votes away from him. Who the fuck gives a shit about a Radical Muslim Brotherhood who gets what he deserves, and this poor DNC staffer who was trying to make a difference in the world was killed like everyone else who crosses the Clintons?

Liberals and Radical Muslims are very much in common....

I was getting worried - it took 8 posts before a "BUT HILLARY" entered the thread.

Doing the right thing isn't always the same as protecting the bottom line. That's why it isn't always easy to do the right thing. When dollars become more important than doing what's right, things get fucked up quick.

there was a reason 43 sent the Saudi's home an hour after the planes hit the towers.
