Discussion: Saudi King Omits Khashoggi Mention In First Speech Since Journalist's Killing

Faustian.

The King has dementia, he is going to say whatever MbS tells him to do. But this might be a sign that the Crown Prince might be hearing some Jambiyas getting sharpened…

Mo Bone Saw has a wonderful coroner who does a great job carving out corpses. Mo Bone Saw is a modernizer, a reformer and even when he goes medieval, whether it be on Jamal Khashoggi or in the genocide in Yemen, he does it with the latest American technology.

These guys have less credibility than the mango Mussolini. Considering the vast amount of lies that come out of spankys mouth that is a remarkable accomplishment.

Did he include anything about the 19 Saudi 9/11 hijackers?

“Khashoggi? I don’t know Khashoggi. I have never met Khashoggi. I have never heard of Khashoggi. People say they don’t know Khashoggi. What is a Khashoggi? Is it bread? A type of itching? Maybe he is a friend of our enemies, if there ever was a Khashoggi. Maybe his phone is disconnected, and other things, too…”

Trump’s latest comments on MBS - from VOX summary of Chris Wallace interview

WALLACE: A month ago, you said you had spoken with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and that he had told you directly that he had no knowledge of this.

TRUMP: That’s right, that’s right, and still says that.

WALLACE: But we now know that some of the people closest to him, some of his closest advisers were part of this. Question: Did MBS lie to you, sir?

TRUMP: I don’t — I don’t know, you know, who could really know? But I can say this he’s got many people now that say he had no knowledge.

WALLACE: What if the crown prince speaking to you, the president of the United States directly lied to you about —

TRUMP: Well, he told me that he had nothing to do with it, he told me that, I would say, maybe five times at different points.

WALLACE: But what if he’s lying?

TRUMP: As recently as a few days ago.

WALLACE: Do you just live with it because you need him?

TRUMP: Well, will anybody really know? All right, will anybody really know? But he did have certainly people that were reasonably close to him and close to him that were probably involved. You saw we put on very heavy sanctions, massive sanctions, on a large group of people from Saudi Arabia. But at the same time we do have an ally, and I want to stick with an ally that in many ways has been very good.

Everybody knows if you repeat something five times, it’s true. Unless you say you were born in Hawaii, or that climate change is making the fire season longer, or…

The king voiced support for his favored son, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, saying that the 32-year-old heir to the throne is focused on developing the capabilities of Saudi youth.

“You too can begin a career in the lucrative field of bone saw operation.”

Trump has criticized the Saudi response to the killing, but has been reluctant to say definitively if he thinks the crown prince ordered it.

Mr Professional Dickhead is not going to say anything - he wants to keep getting his commissions from laundering their funny money .
