For the sake of argument, lets assume what is being reported is true. Do you think Kushner and Trump acted in an acceptable manner?

Or it may have been a diversion to allow the Baghdadi slaying to go forward.

Saudi Arabia is executing five people connected to Khashoggi's murder.

The United States Central Intelligence Agency has concluded that MBS most likely knew of the murder plot, but Trump has refused to call him on it. Also important to know that the Trump family has a personal (non-government) relationship with the Saudi royal family.

Too bad the one man responsible, MBS, won't be held accountable. Guess you can't execute yourself.

Khashoggi was no angel. And going into a Saudi embassy in Turkey is the similar to dancing in the middle of a three-lane highway.

Actually he did and he knew it. He knew the possible penalties for speaking out against them like he did. That's what happens in most Muslim run countries. Saddam did this daily and you Leftists think he should still be in power to this day.

So you supported the invasion and occupation of Iraq?

I couldn't rep you but I totally agree. The liberals should inventory exactly what they agree with Radical Islam on:
  1. Gay rights (not so much);
  2. Women's rights (not so much);
  3. LBGTQ rights (not so much);
  4. Singing Kumbaya with the world (only when the West is giving money, property or territory);
  5. Peace (only when the West is giving money, property or territory);
  6. Death penalty abolition (not so much);
  7. Right to protest governmental authority (against Western governments only);
Those were only thought of over the space of two minutes. I am sure there are more.

As far as Khashoggi, he was antagonistic towards allies of the West, and lined up with Iran. I suppose that makes him a hero to elements that feel guilty about Western success and want to dismantle as much as they can.
