How Will The Racist, Bigoted Sexual Predator Honor Saudi Arabia For Killing Journalists?

Straight Dem ticket.....just sayin

They've got lots of money, and they told Trump they didn't do it. That's about all it takes, just ask Putin.

“You’ve got one journalist — who knows? Was it an interrogation? Was he assassinated? Were there rogue elements? Who did it?...You’ve got $100 billion worth of arms sales.. we cannot alienate our biggest player in the Middle East.".

Agree or disagree with past Dem or Repub presidents but at least they were 'uniters'. I lived in NYC during 9/11 and saw the towers collapse. I can't tell you how much I valued George W. Bush's speech from the rubble and Rudy Guilliani for all he did.

Trump lost the popular vote by 3 million and he's given everyone in the blue states the middle finger.

We share some common interests and that's enough for now.

There are a number of competing motivations at play in this case.

1. The Sauds killed this journalist
2. The journalist wasn't our friend either
3. The Turks are doling out the story in a slow drip to make the Sauds look bad
4. The former Administration and their media friends want to drive a wedge in the Trump Saudi relationship

The fact of the matter is we need the Sauds more than the life of one journalist. However the Sauds need us too.

So we will accept their story of rogue elements killing this guy because it's in our interest to do so.

What if it was 5 journalists? Or 5 Americans? Or 5 Marines? Where do we draw the line? Do they just get to do what they want because they have oil and spend a lot of money buying our missiles?

A lot of people have been highly skeptical of the way the Washington Post and its fellow outlets have treated the story of Jamal Khashoggi. He is the Washington Post opinion writer who was killed by Saudi Arabian operatives at their consulate in Istanbul. Regardless of the facts and circumstances, a couple of things have been clear from the beginning. First, the Turkish government has used Khashoggi’s death as the core of a full-bore information operation designed to stop US-Saudi cooperation in the Middle East. Second, the Washington Post, for reasons they haven’t fully disclosed, elected to make the death of this op-ed writer a cause célèbre in a way they never did when Obama’s BFFs, the Iranian mullahs, held their Tehran bureau chief Jason Rezaian in prison.

He notes that even though Washington has been abuzz with rumors of Khashoggi being a paid agent of Saudi Arabia’s nemesis Qatar, that the Washington Post persisted in lionizing Khashoggi as a bold truth teller. Until now.

Now, shockingly, the Washington Post itself has largely revealed those rumors to be true. We now know that Jamal Khashoggi was never a journalist—at least, not in the usual sense of the word; he was a highly-partisan operative who worked with a handler to publish propaganda at the behest of the Emirate of Qatar. He was, in other words, an agent of influence.

Rumors have floated inside the Beltway about the contents of Khashoggi’s text messages and, potentially, evidence of wire transfers from Qatar found at his residences in Turkey and in Virginia. The Post’s pre-Christmas release of this information is almost certainly in an effort to get ahead of a story that another outlet is pursuing, and frame some rather explosive revelations in the least damaging way.

Read the whole thing. He breaks down the information operation and leaves little doubt that Khashoggi was useful to the Turkey-Qatar axis alive but he was a devastating weapon dead. The fact that Turkish intelligence had a bug in the Saudi embassy and allegedly taped the plot being hatched, the implication is that Erdogan’s intelligence service knew Khashoggi was going to be killed and had already decided he was more useful dead than alive.
