CIA concludes Saudi Crown Prince behind Khashoggi murder: reports
AFP (Frog Press) ^ | November 17, 2018

Posted on 11/17/2018 6:38:35 AM PST by Navy Patriot

The US Central Intelligence Agency has concluded Saudi Arabia's powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was behind the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, US media reported Friday, citing people close to the matter.

The US assessment directly contradicts the conclusions of a Saudi prosecutor one day prior, which exonerated the prince of involvement in the brutal murder.

But The Washington Post, which broke the story, said the CIA found that 15 Saudi agents flew on government aircraft to Istanbul and assassinated Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate.

The CIA is sure we can handle this by only touching the clean end of the Saudi turd.

One group of liars (the CIA) contradicts another group of liars (the Saudis). I think I’ll wait until Rachel Maddow makes a statement. Then I’ll believe the opposite.

And I can conclude that our CIA has been behind many murders.

So what if he did? Khashoggi was an Islamist who used the pages of the WaPo to proselytize for Sharia law and allow the stoning and execution of women. What happened to him is not uncommon in the Arabian peninsula and the place, honestly, is better off without him.

MBS....

1. is pals with the hated DJT

2. threatens Wahabbism, fat cash cow for the intel community.

Therefore....

MBS MUST BE TARRED, HE MUST GO DOWN.

The target of this leak is Trump, as well as a Saudi who is trying to modernize his country away from radical Islam. Liberals don’t care who you kill when it suits their agenda.

The CIA was afraid he was going to succeed at reform.

That’s lost job security for them.

For the first time they have a reformer prince who has forbidden the Wahhabist clerics from preaching hatred and you want to get rid of him? Wake up!

Did the Russians help? Lol

But seriously, The only thing we know for certain is that the CIA says what helps the CIA. The truth plays no role. Here we have the CIA blaming someone who has been helpful to Trump in an attempt to box him in or remove him from power.

Or did some of y’all miss the past four years?

Yes I care about this murder, but front page care about it every day? No. Care about it enough to sacrifice our foreign policy? No.
Democrats don’t care how many people they kill. Exhibit A is Indochina.

We don’t know a damn thing for certain including who leaked this and if it’s true at all.

I thought we were at war against radical Islam.

If so, what bad thing happened here? WaPo was paying an extremist Islamic thug.

Yeah. under these terms:

Flatten the infrastructure
Kill the leaders
Break the countries (Saudi, Iraq, Afghanistan) up along ethnic lines
Set the ethnic groups at each other’s throats
Walk away

The message is pretty clear, F with us, and you, personally, will die, we will destroy all you hold dear, and your country will simply cease to exist.

Nation building? *spit*
