Khashoggi chop job....look likes bin Salman did it



President Trump is not ready to accept the CIA's public assessment Saudi Crown Prince and de-facto ruler Mohammad bin Salman ordered the assassination of Saudi journalist and US resident Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Turkey October 2. The CIA evidence presented is substantial and convincing, but Trump is mum on both accepting and acting on it for all the wrong reasons. Bin Salman is best buddies with Trump, son-in-law Jared Kushner and war loving National Security Adviser John Bolton. Bin Salman buys hundreds of billions in US weaponry, sales Trump needs to goose a vibrant US economy drenched in Yemeni blood. These weapons are then used with US intelligence and logistics to commit near genocide in the Saudi war on Yemen, resulting in over 15,000 dead civilians with another 5,000,000 suffering cholera and starvation. Trump gives these Saudi, US war crimes in Yemen a pass because that war is seen as a bulwark against Trump's real bogeyman Iran, whom both the US and Saudi Arabia claim are supporting the Yemen rebels opposed by Saudi Arabia. Trump is simply following the foreign policy truism that 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend.' For Trump, add to that 'The buyer of my weaponry to commit war crimes is also my friend.'
