You can't defy Trump if he didn't want to be in the war in Yemen. Trump wins again.
What idiots.
If they had a problem with U.S. involvement, why didn’t they do anything when Obama sent the troops to Yemen?
And quite a friendship it is :)
So much so that their complicity in 9/11 had to be deleted in the CIA report and the Bushes were in bed with them so often that i’m surprised they didn’t have kids with them. :)
I know, it’s a lifetime ago in politics and in country relations, but when you were here and you lost friends, it’s not so long ago.
How do we even know Khashoggi is dead? So far I have heard there’s no body. What if he faked his death and is lying low somewhere? Osama bin Laden was able to hide like that for nine years.
Like the strong action against the Bengazi incident </S>
The “new” Flimsey Grahamnesty voted for this, suckers.
This short sighted vote will give Iran the upper hand in Yemen. Wish the USA would make up its mind if Iran is the chief threat in the Middle East or not. If so, they need the Saudis on board. This self defeating vote will probably cause them to look elsewhere for security guarantees. And into the breach will step China. Dumbass move
What a bunch of jerks. The vote tally would probably be the same for a wall funding measure. A lot of people need to go.
Yes they are.
Please tell me again why we need a Republican Senate?
senate virtue signaling, they have nothing to lose. nobody listens to them anyway.
Once again the creeps in THE US Congress are more concerned about foreigners and the business of running other nation states rather than minding their own business and taking care of their citizens. Rome was like this just before it fell!
Senate: largely political cowards.
Winston Churchill said, “Nations don’t have friends. Nations have common interests.” I don’t see how this vote advances US interests. It does advance the interests of Iran.
Our politicians do not often work to advance the interests of the United States. Instead, they pander to a diverse group of personal, political and financial interests. If those other interests coincide with something good for the US, it’s coincidence.
Not enough votes to override a presidential veto.
This isn’t about Khashoggi; this is about hating Trump.
F Kashoggi
When the Muslim guy croaked, I just called that, “Winning”.
When will Obama, Slick Willie, and Hillary be punished for the muurders at Benghazi, in Fast And Furious, Waco, etc.? Actual Americans died in those instances.
Anyone else here think that if Khashoggi was the air conditioner repairman instead of a Washington Post reporter this wouldn’t be nearly as big a deal?
And this is just a vote to discuss the Yemen situation...
Since this Khashoggi guy is the Second Coming of Christ, why didn’t I ever hear about him before the Saudis turned him into stew meat. I don’t understand why the commie ‘RATS think this is a big was such a big deal.
