I don’t understand why the media does not understand no one cares about Saudis killing one of their own overseas. That’s what they do, Get used to it and move on to real news that impacts the national security interest of the US. I do like the Saudi royalty storyline though that a fistfight broke out. But it looks like some brought a bonecutter to the fistfight. lol

If people keep screwing around with this the UN will end up writing a letter. And you what that means.

Arab killing an Arab.
They do that every day, have been for a thousand years.
Just because this one was getting paid by both sides they want us to care.
Nope.

Your reply makes no sense in 2018. What does make sense in 2018 is that 18 people were photographed entering a restricted area on “Saudi soil”, got into a fist fight, with the 1 guy losing the fight after a valiant battle. Then the 18 guys cut up the body, put it in 18 Valise bags and haul it away to throw to the sharks off of Australian coastland. Oh, I forgot that they gave him a pain killer before cutting him up. Then these 18 guys are arrested, probably after confessing to a Catholic Priest in the Vatican, on Sunday, and felt the healing power of Jesus.

In 2017, the guy dies of a result of a mugging while in a restroom at a chi chi Turkish club, and no one is the wiser.

If I recall, we sent the weapons to Iraq not Iran

The thinking being we needed to get those a holes fighting each other in a detente to create a stalemate

Americans do not care about a Saudi reporter for the Washington Compost getting killed in Turkey within the Saudi embassy. Americans do not care. Americans do not care. Americans want to get along with the Saudis. Americans do not want a war with Saudi Arabia.

I have been told multiple times that if an Arab is talking to me, I should assume he/she is lying. So which Arab to believe?????? It’s kind of like figuring out which reporter is telling the truth. Or which politician. Better to assume they are all lying.

I believe that most of the 9/11 terrorists were Egyptians traveling under Saudi passports. In the mid east it is easier to get US visas if you hold a passport from Saudi Arabia. The Saudis will issue passports to any Arab that applies.

I can find nothing that supports your statement. Everything comes up that 15 of them were Saudi Arabian.

They were Saudis. But again, the problem isn’t the Saudi government. There are people who compare the Saudi government to the Nazis. That would be wrong. The Saudi government did not encourage ordinary Saudis to conduct large scale massacres of Americans. Whereas the Nazis not only urged Germans to kill Jews - it ordered them to do so on pain of death for anyone who sheltered them.

All countries have all kinds of grievances against just about every nationality under the sun. Only ordinary Saudis have taken up arms to kill thousands of people from a country that has done nothing against either the Saudi government or its people.

The ancient solution would have been to kill every single person associated with the hijackers, ranging from family members to friends to imams - to literally extinguish any memory of their clans from anywhere except the history books. Our civilized mores don’t allow for this type of reprisal. That is why we remain embroiled in Afghanistan.

Weirdly enough, American popular anger over 9/11 has now been channeled towards the killing of a Muslim Brotherhood journo. This is the weirdest transmogrification I have ever seen. This just goes to show how corrupt and insane the media is.
