Does seem strange to cooperate so heavily with the source of the 9/11 hijackers.
However, President Trump emphasizes his friendship with King Salman and has designated Saudi Arabia has the lynchpin for organizing anti-terrorism efforts.
We do probably need a few allies in the Muslim world to combat the virulent ideology, especially in funding, recruitment and territory.
Hopefully, something will soon resolve the situation in Qatar, considering the fact that it is the home of our largest and most strategic base of operations.

Indeed. And Saudi Arabia has many related problems beyond just 9/11.

We do probably need a few allies in the Muslim world to combat the virulent ideology, especially in funding, recruitment and territory.

Which is exactly why we cannot and should not count on the biggest perps of everything you list.

Our decades-long genuflection to Saudi leaders continues.

Why shouldn’t we use Saudi pilots to end the Civil War in Yemen?

And why shouldn’t we embarrass the Iranian mullahs so thoroughly that Iran’s angry citizens “dump” that corrupt so-called “theocracy”, and truly end Iran’s not-so-secret crash program to build nuclear bombs?

My anonymous sources tell me that Schumer, Murphy and Franken get really nice “presents” from Iran. Time for an FBI investigation?
