It’s official: Trump condones murder of Washpo journalist

[Olde Europe]

Rogue killers, flying in and out of the country? Gimme a break.

Whence would a rogue operation of government officials even get the information where Khashoggi is to show up, so as to plan and execute the operation? And why would they report back to another government official? And why would they set up a rogue operation (for the sake of the argument), using government resources, without at least the certainty they are doing MbS a favor - or otherwise setting themselves up to meet Khashoggi's fate?

Yes, nothing "definitive", but...

Thinking things over again, and again: A rogue operation would have snatched Khashoggi at a place not associated with SA, using folks not associated with the SA government, increasing deniability. Conversely, doing it at the Saudi embassy was meant to send a signal. It's a Skripal copy-cat. Either way, the buck stops with MbS.

He took pains to invoke the "enemy of the people" tag he applies to the free press

You would have to deaf, dumb and blind not to notice the Liberal Bias the majority of the MSM has, but then we obviously have a large portion of voters who fit this description...

How does that relate to murder?

I see Denmark joined Germany in halting weapons sales to S.A. Probably standing on principle or something.

There's good reporting out on the amazing number of lies in Trump's statement on S.A. Apparently few, if any, of the numbers he used are real.

Obama didn't punish the Castros at all. In fact he permitted more travel there, in spite of their hatred of freedom.

Saudi Arabia is an ally of America against the Iranians, the Titular Leaders of the Jsnit.Axis of Evil. Moe Salman wants to reform Saudi society, this was Khashaggi's beef with Mr. Salman.

This country has punished the Castros ever since the revolution.

You think thatvthe Saudis will joint Iran if we sanction them??? Really. This is how much you know about the Middle East.

Iran is a threat to Saudi Arabia not to us

How long would they last without the US covering their ass

Iran is not a threat to us, fuckwad?

Even for an anal wart, that is some incredibly stupid shit.

About as big a threat as that caravan

That "caravan" contains 500 known criminals, so it is a major threat to Americans, for that reason alone.

shitflinger hates America and wants to destroy the nation.

 

[Uncensored2008]

The libs haven't been able to produce a body, so we really don't know if Khashoggi is deceased or not.

Wow, professor! Have you and your crack research team contacted the CIA to tell them how wrong they are? Haha...shaddup dummy...

The CIA has 6 ways to Sunday to get back at people, and they've done them all with President Trump.

I could see them framing Moe Salman on the Khashoggi case just to try and hurt the President's friends.


Like I said, FF, present the CIA with a writ of Habeas Corpus, let them produce the body.

Agreed. I see no reason for Trump to trust the CIA. They assisted in an attempt to stage a coup against him. Why should he trust them?

They were run by Clapper, a known Communist and a known traitor.

A Jew voting for a democrat is literally no different than a Jew voting for Nazis.

The democrat party is dedicated to the genocide of Jews.

run a google search on "jewish republicans in congress", and you'll see mostly democrats.
And Soros is a jew.

And yet the democrats are Hamas loving Jew haters.

A Jew voting for a democrat is literally no different than a Jew voting for Nazis.

nazis are running as republicans.
Where are the nazis running as democrats?

Yes, they are. Nazi Pelosi runs as a Democrat.

Pelosi just got endorsed by the jews.
She's the worst nazi ever.

J street is a democrat PAC, moron. It's hardly "the Jews"

Pelosi is a pro-Hamas, pro-Hezbollah JOOOOO hater.

Years too late, and it probably won't last, but still, there's merit in baby steps.

Yep, I've seen the posting detailing the lies. The good Trumpy is using mere statements of intent as done deals, and creative accounting on top of that. He's just inflating the numbers to shape the perception of the price for selling journalists - life and limb - to smallish bidders, to the surprise of exactly no one.

How does that relate to murder?

I quoted you? It's your attempt to discredit President Trump, do you have memory problems?

Trump okayed Khashoggi's murder, after the fact.

Stupid is just your speed...

Sanctions on the crown price, the king, and the country. Put enough pressure that SA realizes they need to dump him.

Saudi Arabia needs to learn how to act like a civilized society

We need to teach them

How would you suggest we do that? Should we insist the Saudi Arabia honor Homosexual Marriage? Admit trannies into their military? Allow dudes in dresses to use the nation's ladies rooms?

We should insist on basic human rights

That means you don't ambush people, torture them, kill them, chop up their body and then repeatedly lie about it

Yet you support more Muslim immigration.

What does that have to do with the attrocities of the Saudi government?
We allowed Khashogi to immigrate

You see no connection between culture and actions? Of course you don't.

Teach them? That’s taking optimism to an absurd level. They’re beyond learning.

Then use the stick instead of the carrot

Like we did with Stalin?

Good point
We chose between Stalin and Hitler
We chose right

I agree. Yet, the point is, we did work with Stalin.

Do you remember when the left got all bent out of shape about those human rights abuses in the Soviet Union? . . . . . Yeah, me either.

Those were the days, weren't they?

THat's a real good point. INdeed, they were really unhappy when Reagan called the SU on it.

Nah, thats just paranoid delusion of trump cultists. Never can you admit (even though you know it to be true) that Trump the idiot babyman is responsible for what is happening to him. The lying liar has forced you into a position where you even have to lie to yourselves.

Sad!!

Actually, that's a quote from Ultraliberal Spokesman Chuck U. Schumer back in January 2017.

Not a "trump cultist" by any stretch of the word

 

[Ame®icano]

How is murdering of Kashogi any of our business?

 

[Ame®icano]

President Donald Trump signaled Tuesday that he will not take strong action against Saudi Arabia or its Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for the death and dismemberment of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

In an exclamation-mark laden statement subtitled “America First!” Trump said that “our intelligence agencies continue to assess all information, but it could very well be that the Crown Prince had knowledge of this tragic event — maybe he did and maybe he didn’t!”

Trump Signals U.S. Won’t Take Punitive Measures Against Saudi Crown Prince Over Journalist’s Killing

Pretty much since day 1 the priority of Trump’s administration has been to help Saudi Arabia get away with murdering this journalist. I wonder what he’ll do next time Putin kills somebody.

Remember Trump campaigning on forcing Saudi Arabia to go to trial for 9/11? Yeah, if you believed that, I bet you still believe Mexico’s going to pay for a wall.

Without reading a single response, I'm going to wager that all self-proclaimed Republicans and conservatives on USMB will run to the defense of this absolutely indefensible and reprehensible thing that Trump has done.

What exactly Trump has done? Is he somehow responsible for Kashogi murder?

 

[BlackFlag]

What exactly Trump has done?

Defend Saudi Arabia in response to them assassinating and dismembering a Washington Post journalist. Hello? Are you retarded? Never watch the news?

And the second part is your cultist fantasy. Very predictable.

The Saudis ALLEGEDLY executed a MB member and subject of theirs on their own territory.

The fact that he got a paycheck from the Mexican billionaire who owns the Post is an irrelevant fact.

^ another murderous **** who want journalists killed. **** yourself, bastard

Was he an American resident? What about Turkey! Should we slap the shit out of Turkey?

He WAS an American resident and an American journalist.

And Turkey?

Huh?

Journalist? He wrote opinion column about Saudi Arabia for WaPo. Not a journalist, a contributor, maybe. Writing for an American paper, doesn't make him an American journalist.

He did not have permanent residency in the US, he was not a green card holder, therefore ha was NOT American resident.
