Being a Muzzie Bro doesn’t put one at risk?

Wasn’t an American.

Wasn’t a WaPo journo —he simply contributed a couple times.

He was WAAAAAY more fundamentalist than they’re saying.

Lefties simply understand Trump is close to a NOMINAL reformer in Saudi Arabia.

SNUB TRUMP AT ANY COST is their thinking.

What should America act on? American interests.

Muzzie kills muzzie, ain’t our problem.

Lemme get this right:

BlabbyFlabbyMuzzie croaks in an Embassy so now Trump is required to jettison our relationship with the biggest local competitor to Iran and all our arms sales, huh..?

NAH..!

This is a re-run of our ‘79 dumping of the Shah of Iran:

IMPULSIVE AND STUPID, Carter-esque.

The Shaw wasn’t perfect, but behold what replaced him.

Sorry, Flabby, you knowingly took your chances:

America shouldn’t have to pay.

I just saw something on the “Sic Semper Tyrannis” blog about this and how retired US military officers are on the Saudi take.

The guy writing the blog used to be a military attache there and knows the system.

Peter Hitchens in also writing in his Sunday column now posted on his blog about the subservience of his country to the Saudis.

Hitchens can’t be certain about what happened to Khashoggi, but has no doubt his country bends over to Saudi Arabia.

I’ll link to both items:

http://turcopolier.typepad.com/sic_semper_tyrannis/

http://hitchensblog.mailonsunday.co.uk/

Hitchens writes about Khashoggi after talking his own country’s five trillion dollars worth of debt, a driving force no doubt behind bowing down to Riyadh.

This doesn’t make sense to me. If the Saudies wanted him dead they could have killed him anywhere. Why would they kill him in their own building. They are not stupid. Also why would they send 15 people to d what one person could do.

Doesn't matter. The media is ITCHING to paint Trump as condoning the brutal murder of a "journalist" if he blows this off. So he is smart to pay lip service to it for 3 more weeks until the election.

1) He isn’t an American citizen so we shouldn’t be involved.
2) He is muslim brotherhood.
3) The WP should be answering why they hired him.

Well, according to reports, he was dismembered and carried out. Fifteen guys wearing dresses could do that.
Also, he was pretty much persona non grata in Saudi Arabia but not in Turkey. Even though he was dealing with the Saudi Consulate, he probably felt pretty safe. I figure they lured him there to get some kind of papers he needed to get married. My question is, what sort of rights did he have as a legal resident of the U.S.?
This could be a very bad thing to happen so near the election. I wouldn’t want it to effect the election.

Now it is coming out that one of the two “sources” for the story turns out to be Khaled Saffuri - a Saudi enemy with deep ties to Hamas.

I am starting to worry that Khashoggi was not killed after all (that he is in Turkey laughing with their Intel folks), and that this is just a smear operation to malign Trump before the election, and break up the US/Saudi alliance.

One of the two reporters who broke this story, using this unreliable source, was Michael Isikoff - who published the Trump Russia dossier story, which was fed to him by Michael Steele, and used to get the FISA warrant to spy on the Trump campaign.

Smells fishy.

Yes it does smell fishy.

Supposedly he was murdered and hacked to pieces and snuck out...

Then how in the hell did the Turks get the watch that has the evidence.

Makes zero sense. Literally unbelievable.

They are indeed stupid, typically one standard deviation below the western norm. And they cannot produce a video of him departing the consulate.

The watch live broadcasted it to the iPhone of his fiance waiting outside the embassy an to the cloud.
The Turks didn’t get the watch and have no need to.

Why is Trump supporting Recep Erdogan - the violent, pro-Iran, anti-Israel, anti-Saudi, Muslim dictator of Turkey - on this issue?

Erdogan has murdered several dozen military officers since the utterly bogus coup d’état that Erdogan “survived” several years ago.

Why does Europe bow down to this Muslim fanatic?

Why does Trump even communicate with this guy?

Bluetooth range - unobstructed by walls - is around 30 feet. No internet connection available in that area. bogus slant, misdirection.

Turks would have gotten the watch when they arrested the 15 ‘travelers’ ... the Saudis needed 15 killers because?

Likely the same reason past presidents did - we have Nat Sec ‘interests’ along the northern and eastern borders.

The Turkish claims are BS. While it may be true that the Saudis killed a Saudi jihadist who supported jihad through his urinalistic endeavors, the Turkish tale is complete and utter BS. It’s just as likely that the Turks killed the creep and immediately after his disappearance launched their PR offensive.

The watch does not contain the evidence. You should reread the story.

The Apple Watch has a cell radio—it will connect even if the phone is off.
