The King of Saudi Arabia praised President Trump for conducting airstrikes on the Syrian regime, the White House said Saturday.

Well look at the bright side: At least he isn't bowing to them.

Why is Assad our enemy - and the Saudis are our friends - when most of the 9-11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia?

Obama bowed to them. Trump drops bombs on Assad, whom they hate. What’s the difference?

“””Why is Assad our enemy - and the Saudis are our friends - when most of the 9-11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia?””””

They might have been born there but they didn’t all come from there.

Where did they come from then? What did their passports say?

Because we continue to pretend we have Middle Eastern allies.

We don’t. They are all dependents, manipulators, grifters, sycophants or a combination of these, but not one is a net asset for their cost.

I used to have an easy scale for telling if something the UN did was bad for the US or not. Does France like it? If so, it’s bad.

When the Saudi King likes what you did, I’d go back and take a second look at the whole thing to find out what I missed.

Netanyahu supports Trump's action.

Of course he did! But what happened to the “America first” motto?

Bibi has to look out for Israel. Assad is backed by Iran, an enemy of Israel and America. What I don’t know is what Bibi thinks Assad would be replaced with that is any better.

That’s nice. Why doesn’t Bibi just come out and say that he prefers Saudi and ISIS (the folks who have demonstrated they are a real threat to America) to Syria?

Trump doesn't want to replace Assad. That's probably Netanyahu's position too.

Because Netanyahu doesn't support ISIS more than Syria and SA.
