Wonderful! Congratulations, I thank you for your more than score-long voluntary and unpaid service in Afghanistan. We can only hope to have more people like that in our armed services and elsewhere in our Nation. I hope that nobody took over-advantage of your happily slaving away for our country's leader's foreign infiltrations of many empty Russian bases. 27 years in Afghanistan and they aren't even American residents! Would you look at that, sometimes foreigners do matter somewhat, for some reasons.

I wonder if our rich would ever grow the backbone to have the military invade Saudi Arabia if they didn't send their finest... oh wait, what were the Nationalities of the 9/11 attackers? I heard most were Saudi.

Now, about those other points, I made... Will they be addressed?

A terrorist act is not confined to mass-murders nor to politics. A terrorist act can be about terrorizing racial groups with one single murder or just terrorizing career fields (journalism) with one single murder of Satanic Verses proportions.

Most certainly, giving this sort of thing a free or cheap pass means giving this sort of thing a free or cheap pass.

Saudi crown prince ordered operation to lure and detain journalist Jamal Khashoggi, U.S. intercepts show

The Saudis have Trump in the bag. They bailed Trump out financially, and he feels he owes them (which is what they intended).

Trump runs interference for the Saudis, and the Republicans in congress run interference for Trump and that whole gang of criminals run roughshod over the common people the world over.

1. huh...???


2. what does the nationalities (where they are born) of the 9/11 attackers have to do with their theological stance ??
? so what does 15 of the attacker being BORN in SA have to do with their GROUP AFFILIATION???







try this scenario...and actual answer it..honestly...

a bunch of former New Yorkers, who still have family in NY and even get money for those families in NY, are now members of a fanatical church in New Jersey, and are living in NJ, they travel all over the USA getting supplies/training/etc....then they bomb an abortion clinic in Pennsylvania ...are you going to blame the government of New York State...or would you blame the fanatical church in New Jersey??????


answer honestly.......

Madness indeed, happening right before our eyes and with our acquiescence.

Don't go blaming neo-Fidels when they come for your "sides" ones' lives. Two-faced unfaithful hypocrites, some on both sides (although obviously mostly on one side by numbers and by reason of Trump).

It has EVERYTHING to do with Bush, Obama, and Trump. This particularly ghastly murder of a journalist has specifically something to do with Trump, the Saudis Royal Family knew they could get away with killing an American resident journalist during their pocketed-one's term.

Koshogi was alive and kicking all 8 years of Obama's terms and all 8 years of Bush's terms.

But it's just "a coincidence" when it comes to the Ultimate Responsibilities of a True President for Agent Orange. Sad.

Now it's basically 'Who cares?'

The Moral?

Spend lots of $$$ with the US and/or the POTUS and do whatever the hell you want.
This issue here is, as it usually is with Trump, he speaks and tweets factless information. He could have made clear it was too premature to talk about until more information is known. Instead, he chose to play tough guy.

Now more this known, Trump has doubled down on business as usual with SA because “they buy $ hundreds of billions of things from the US. If we don’t sell to them, Russia and China will”.

Nothing more than the historical continuance of US siding with tyrants, when it is in the best financial interests of the US to do so.

What remains to be seen is the global and Saudi reaction to Saudi’s MBS ( Mr Bone Saw) .
