Why was that literal faggot doing in SA anyway? He wanted to get ass packed by a bunch of sand niggers; and got more than he bargained for..
There's no reason to go to war over that shit.

He wasn't in Saudi Arabia, he was in Turkey at the Saudi embassy.

Nice step back from having our faces up against the glass. Good post. It's easier to see things now.

What about Daniel Pearl? No airstrike? Didn't even bomb a pizza hut.

This whole khashoggi drama looks like a false flag to me. Fake sudden outrage and crocodile tears. I wonder what's the purpose of this false flag this time

Buying US defense contractor stocks on the rumor. Will sell when this becomes a non issue in 6-8 weeks. Quick +6 point gain. The flag is to scare the Saudis into giving more money to Democrats. Prince Alweed paid 40 million to Hillary and she lost anyway. Alwaleed is in conflict with Muhammed Bin Salaam. They are trying to take down MBS and they need the cash for the 2020.

so you're saying congress should investigate for the next 30 months and the secretary of state should testify on the hill for 11 hrs? not a bad idea if you ask me

On Benghazi they avoided an anger flashpoint by telling the youtube video lie. This cast enough doubt for people to only slowly figure out it was far more nefarious.

But but but Khashoggi wasn't killed by a hate filled anti-Muslim video that no saw!
[–] VapidGopher 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago (edited ago)
I forgot about that. I think I was in middle school when this happened because I remember watching the video and thinking there was no way something that dumb could cause that. I can't believe a US President announced Benghazi happened because of that video. Something right out of the onion.

The fact that the left/Dems downplay Benghazi is all you ever need to know about them.
