Punishing the Saudis because the majority of Americans want harsher punishment for Khashoggi’s murder. Majority of Americans don’t support our involvement in this civil war or selling arms to the Saudis for this war.

The majority of americans are not represented in this political system though, so there's that. Time and time again this is the case. Watch how quickly the Dems move away from single payers once they actually have some power to do something for example.

The moral thing is always to support Israel and force the Arabs to suck their own dicks.

That's yesterday's mantra. The world has recognized Palestine as a state and the Izraelis as a bunch of US-fed fascists. Not in AMERICA yet- but the tide has turned.

Do you think the people of Yemen wanted this war? Do you think they wanted their government overthrown?
Do you think they want the Houthis, A Qaeda and Iran running the show?
Did this myopic pissant have anything to say about Yemen in 2011?
kudzu: "Do you think they want the Houthis, A Qaeda and Iran running the show?"
Jack: In your opinion, is there a large presence of the Sunni Arab Al Qaeda in the Shia Persian Iran?
AQ took Southern Yemen 10 years ago... bombing the USS Cole, destroying their oil business, closing factories and training suicide bombers...
The Houthis are in the north.. and funded by Iran.
Do you think the Yemeni people wanted this?
Do you that nancy girl Paul Ryan has a brain?
So, if the Houthis took control of all of Yemen, you agree Al Qaeda would be destroyed in Yemen.
I'm not a prophet, Jack... Yemen has been flooded with all kinds of jihadis from AQ to Boko Haram, to al Shabaaz to al Houthis. That's what the Saudis have coped with.

Degenerate tyrants can expect opposition- particularly dynasties.
All those thousands of heads they've lopped off had friends, relatives and extended families.
The Saudis don't want any territory in Yemen. They moved Saudis villages back from the Yemen border 20 kilometers in 2000-2002.

Al Qaeda has bases in Southeast Yemen for years, ... funny how with all the ordinance dropped by Saudi Arabia on Yemen, none of it is dropped on Al Qaeda. Coincidence?
