#1 You are working against me you idiot. I AM not losing that Kingdom over some chopped up terrorist propagandist. And as far as I remember, Obama gave them the go ahead to do just that.

However, I think this may be a set up to make him look bad. Either way, I AM not losing this Kingdom over this. Iran is my focus.

#2 Keeping Salman and that is that.

Let the WAPO defend this.

#3 1) To ape Ike, he might be an SOB but he's our SOB.

2) How could they make their image any worse than it already is?

#5 Quote: US intelligence intercepts show that Khashoggi, who was last seen entering the Saudi mission on October 2, was murdered on bin Salman’s direct order.
It's one thing to print the above, another to prove it.

#6 Settle down, Beavis. This is a story about a Saudi national with Turk citizenship who used his position with a U.S. publication to "opine" (read "screw around with") about the Saudi govt.

The Rocket Scientist then goes to the Saudi embassy in Istanbul and disappears. Funny how that can happen to some people with his history and enemies.

This, "moral" issues aside, is not a U.S. issue. Think of as a "rendition in extremis."

#7 "I think of this as a kind of mafia war" between Mohammed bin Salman and the Muslim Brotherhood - Center for Security Policy https://buff.ly/2NM7xQ3

I think Kalid is behind this.
