Y

So the guy was an early al Qaeda sympathizer who conferred frequently with bin Laden before breaking ties with him to become by Saudi standards a "reformed Islamic fundamentalist".

That is why you and others linking this reporter to Osama Bin Laden is a distortion/half truth.

The question "really is" what the fuck was he doing working for a U.S. media outlet? Or is that ok with the Lame Stream Media these days …

.. utilize the "talents" of "reformed" thugs and terrorists?

Should he have been killed? I thought Manson should have been! But?

Exactly what did this crowd whining about his death say about the U.S. Representatives being gunned down while practicing baseball by one of theirs? An "obligatory" it's Trump's fault!!!! Any knucklehead who believes that should then realize just how much "reach" (and influence) Trump has (according to them!) and keep their mouth closed about Trump. Originally Posted by LexusLover

No, Reagan wasn't an OBL supporter. Bin Laden was a nobody when Reagan was POTUS. Now you're distorting the truth.

During the 1980s, Reagan allowed the CIA to work with the Saudis and Pakistanis to supply weapons (i.e. stinger missiles, etc.) to ALL opponents of the Soviet occupation in Afghanistan - from jihadists to pro-Western Muslims like the Northern Alliance (who later fought against the Taliban and were our allies after 9/11). In interviews years later, bin Laden always minimized the importance of Western aid in defeating the Russians in Afghanistan. And he puffed up his own role, which was actually insignificant and laughable.

Meanwhile, Khashoggi was a close confidante of OBL. Saudi Arabia is a small country where everyone knows everyone. Khashoggi was a kindred spirit and a jihadist at heart. He is said to have conferred with OBL in setting up al Queda. Even after he broke with OBL, he remained an outspoken Muslim Brotherhood supporter. This became problematic after the Brotherhood took power in Egypt during their brief, disastrous rule there in 2012-13. The Saudis opposed them, so Khashoggi once again found himself on the wrong side of the fence politically and ideologically within the House of Saud.

I'm not trying to smear anyone. Just sticking to the facts. I challenge you to find a single example in this thread where I "smeared" Khashoggi. If you can't, then you should have the decency to retract your accusation and apologize to me.

Of course, you are smearing Ronald Reagan with your ludicrous, facile, and inaccurate comparison. Plus you're off topic.

The Turks say they have a audio tape of the event.

Is it customary for a Country to bug another country's embassy?

His grandfather was ibn Saud's personal physician. His uncle was a famous Saudi arms dealer worth billions who once sold a yacht to Donald Trump. His Egyptian cousin (Dodi Fayed) was engaged to Princess Diana and died in that 1997 car crash in Paris.

While it's probably common, most Countries will deny it.

Maybe one of the attackers accidentally "butt dialed" someone on a cell phone.
