Journalist Jamal Khashoggi died after a fight that took place in the
Saudi consulate in Turkey, Saudi state media reported on Friday
afternoon.
<<< They are telling us that this guy took on 15 Saudis ? What a crock. but why do we care. The Saudis are not more honest brokers of peace than Obama's Iran. All Middle East governments are authoritarian.
They announced the arrests of eighteen individuals
in connection with Khashoggi’s death, many of whom were the same people
caught on camera entering the consulate. Saudi officials also denied
the reports that Khashoggi was dismembered, instead blaming his death on
a fight that broke out in the consulate.
“So we know that General Ahmad al-Assiri has been relieved of his
duties. He is the man that CNN has been reporting without naming him was
the one to oversee this operation, but it is another official who is
possibly even more interesting. His name is al-Qahtani. He is incredibly
senior within Saudi Arabia’s power structure,” Clarissa Ward said.

"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.

"Iran killed 3000 of our soldiers" . What?
ReplyDeleteAre you losing it? No it was the Saudis on 9/11 that killed 3000+ Americans.
so the Iranians played no role in the death of our soldiers during the Irag war? In fact they are responsible for the deaths of between 2,000 and 3000 of our soldiers.
