    Is anyone calling for invasion?

    I must have missed that.

    Stretch
    You’re the president now. Solve the problem.
    You want to bomb the Saudi’s take out an aspirin factory or something.
    You want to kill one of their reporters.
    Perhaps you don’t want to buy oil from them. Where do you want to get your oil from perhaps Russia. Democrats don’t want oil production in the states.
    Maybe an embargo.
    You like to criticize simply because he’s a Republican so what will you do.

    You only criticize foreign policy screw ups when they result in invasions?

    How much money did Hillary receive from the Saudis. The NY Times reports some where between 10 and 25 million. Money can buy favors from the Secretary of State.

    Saudi Arabia has been pulling strings in our government for a long time. If you think this started with Trump, you need to take the partisan blinders off and take a look around. Bush and Obama sold hundreds of billions of dollars in weapons to the Saudis and we've been fighting their wars for them for decades.

    Perhaps you'd prefer to GIVE weapons to Israel?

    The money went directly to the Clinton Global Initiative.

A 2015 directive to the National Security Act, issued by Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, requires the US to give “non-US persons” notice of “impending threats of intentional killing, serious bodily injury, or kidnapping.”

    The US knew that Khashoggi was a target. US intelligence agents intercepted a plan to lure Khashoggi back to to the US, the Washington Post reported Oct. 10. An unnamed National Security Agency official also told the Observer’s John Schindler that US intelligence had learned that Riyadh “had something unpleasant in store for Khashoggi,” at least a day before Khashoggi went to the embassy in Istanbul.

    The “threat warning was communicated to the White House through official intelligence channels,” Schindler writes, but it’s not clear whether Khashoggi ever received the warning."

    Kashoggi told friends that the Saudis were out to get him.... so he did know.

    Uh...no. Not only that but I think we should cut any and all aid to Israel and nullify our alliance with them entirely. I am no fan of Israel, not sure where you got that idea from. Now, would you like to actually counter my original point or are you going to continue lobbing strawman fallacies at me?
