So in response to @amlove21 when it comes to morality.
Jamal isn't an American. He is a Saudi citizen, whom was also a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. Murder, is wrong. So whilst I can be mad, not outraged, because outrage needs to be saved...although in our peak outrage culture we have to be outraged about everything.
We have arms deals with the Saudis, we are dependent upon them to keep the spice flow so that the commodity price is within a certain price point. And our oil companies would love it if they stopped flooding the market because they make the most money when the average price per bbl is between 90-110. When it gets over 110 the price at the pump gets kind of insane. So there's my political reasons for why we should have completely ignored the situation.
Now, my personal opinion has already been displayed. This dude had blood on his hands. The best way I can describe this is the folks at home don't really get annoyed at gang violence until it touches their woodchip box (since you know sand is dangerous these days). And I've also clearly stated that this is just Turkey and Saudi Arabia going at it and we shouldn't put our dick in between them. Erdogan, whom he became cozy with is a clear enemy of his former employer. [Erdogan has continuously rounded up journalists and non-loyalists since the failed coup attempt] This is legit like being a Blood and then joining the Crips, he's been a marked man for a very long time. Now, my question goes to: what did the Saudis have on him that he willingly went to a place where he'd never leave freely from again (smarter to have taken him in chains and tried for treason in KSA).
It goes to my prevailing opinion that we should have never been involved in Syria.
Now let's address the way the POTUS has handled this: like with many things, a complete flub up on the old twatter. So in effect we have wasted political capital here.
And why I've said publish the evidence? Don't go to the media and open channel this crap: "We have the evidence". Either send it to your allies and take their response, or publish it. I know @policemedic has stated I don't have the right to it. Of course I don't. That's not my point. I'm also not a freak and I really don't want to and won't listen to it. But for the most part this has all been kabuki theater. Kind of like red lines and stuff.
