Stewart appears to be moving in lockstep with extremist Republicans and conservative commentators engaging in a whisper campaign to smear Khashoggi

Pat is slurping the MSM koolaide here. Telling the truth about Khashoggi's ties to the Muslim Brotherhood is hardly a smear.

However you slice it, when you deal with the Saudis, you deal with the devil.

Someone’s trying to gin up a game of let’s-you-and-him-fight.

I say we don’t oblige.

A dead Muslim Brotherhood jihadi dying overseas absolutely deserves...a yawn, and nothing more.

Let the sheep bleat.

Does Vietnam still execute peopleM w/o trial?
How about Pakistan?
Russia?
Nigeria?
Mexico?
Many others?

Do we still do business with them? Yes.

This Saudi dustup is actually business as usual for them. It’s just that, now, Saudi has become a symbol of Trump’s diplomatic success and a possible solution to some longstanding problems in the Middle East. So the Left must make it a cause celebre.

The kingdom of Saudi Arabia did not kill this guy. The government did. And they tried to hide it. And they lied about it. Not sure if our government would do the same thing. I bet our government does it all the time. Maybe the difference is that this guy was supposed to be protected. It may have been Bezos who thought he was protecting him.

We know Israel has hit squads. We have seen them at work. We know that the US government flies drones over people we don’t like and blow them away including their family. So the difference here seems to be that this guy had more friends than MBS has. Other countries take out journalists all the time. Mexico has a bad record, as does Russia and China. Do people really think Saudi’s are better?

It's news only because Trump isn't reacting the way the Left wants.
Under 0bama, it wouldn't have mattered.

Same with the Turks, and same with the Muslim Brotherhood.
There is no good guy, and no cause for involvement.

Every POS who wants to be involved in this, let them go.

With no exceptions, the people who want someone else outside of those three involve are themselves personally invested in either The Muslim Brotherhood, The Saudis, Or The Turks.

With the American Press, we watched them fawn over Valerie Jarrett and Huma Abedin for years, so we know its The Muslim Brotherhood.

For any others who wish US involvement it is the appropriate reaction to first relentlessly press them as to which of the three factions they are supporting as a prerequisite to further discussion. Because it matters, and they are personally supporting one of the three.

This is where I get off the boat with Pat Buchanan. He throws around “the Saudis” like there’s no difference between the Saudi government, any random Saudi rich guy, the Saudi opposition, Saudi religious leaders, etc., etc. I believe that we know 1% of what’s going on here, but Trump knows 100, so I’m rolling with whatever he wants to do at this point. One thing I do know is that there are lots of rough characters out there in the world.

Today, I am reading that the Turks have found body parts in the Saudi Consul’s front yard.

Can I get a WTF? How could the Sauds be so careless?

This seems too fishy and makes one wonder if this was some Turkish false flag all along.

It would be incredibly stupid to cut loose the most reformist Saudi leader in decades over killing this reporter. The world is an imperfect place. The Saudis did something they shouldn’t have done. Apologize and move on to something more productive like the Prince fighting radical Islam in his own country.

Under Ohaha, if it had happened in our Embassy he would have been out of touch and unmoved by it.

Yet they are better than Iran, who want nukes to kill millions.
Trump should slow this down and wait it out. There is no need to do anything immediately.

This is all ginned up by the DNC Media to attack Trump as revenge for the stupid Iran deal that he viciously trashed. Obama was either naive or a subversive to push that Iran deal, and Trump spiked the ball on it. The left is still hurting from Trumps righteous beat down, and therefore will do anything to destroy Trumps progress in the middle east.

They want to make Trump look bad even if it threatens America.

I just can’t get upset about some Saudi dictator killing some Saudi Islamofascist in the juhadist hellhole known as Turkey. I keep trying to be upset, but I just can’t get past not caring
