Mission Statement: This blog reviews the news of the day in light of 242 years of American history. "Nationalism," a modern day pejorative, has been our country's politic throughout history, until 2008. Obama changed that narrative. Trump is seeking a return to our historical roots. Midknight Review supports this return to normality.

The CIA has concluded that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. US officials expressed high confidence in the CIA assessment.
ReplyDeleteHIGH CONFIDENCE = smoking gun
so you know better than General James Mattis. The CIA concluded a "high probability" but did not cite a smoking gun event.Aand "so what." Barack made love to Putin, Castro, and the Iranians.
DeleteThat would be typical Smithson, disparaging a CIA conclusion in favor of heinous dictator. You give a thug like the Saudi Prince the benefit of the doubt for NO other reason but to save Trump's ass from a pathetic response.
ReplyDeleteBarack did it (gave the benefit of the doubt) with Castro, the radicals in Iran, Putin.
