Saudi’s don’t respect TRump

True, but...

"US intelligence agencies do have a clear “duty to warn” any individual, US citizen or not, of any known violent threats against them. 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.

Perhaps you'd prefer to GIVE weapons to Israel?

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?

He claimed he was fearful of the Saudis so yes, why would he go to the consulate? He was living in the US and the Saudis have an embassy in DC and consulate in NYC.

Makes no sense.

He was also associated with OBL so it’s a safe bet Khashoggi knew exactly how culpable the Saudis were in 9/11.

That alone, is sufficient reason to keep clear of the Saudi consulate. Something is going on we don’t know about.

The Saudis had nothing to do with 9-11.. That was OBL and AQ... MB was the foundation of OBL's beliefs.

^ Exactly the point. So why all the blathering about the Clinton foundation?

Because as SoS, she was well-placed for a quid pro quo, but you already knew that. Her ham-fisted bungling in the ME was a clear and present danger to everyone on the planet. At least Obama had the sense to replace her, but the damage was already done.

Please stop exaggerating. As far as I'm concerned nothing Hillary did in the ME even comes close to the disasters created by the bush administration.
