Amazing that the USA is so fixed on the killing of one man--who happened to be a WashPo reporter. While the murder of any human being is despicable, ask yourself how many people the US government's Central Intelligence Agency has murdered? US under Democrats is nothing if not hypocritical.
"likely ordered"!?!?
Philip Haney was critical of Obama and he just happened to turn up with a bad case of dead.
Of the two the Crown Prince is more honest than Obama.
Any day now Obama is going to collect flood insurance on his 2 seaside mansions AND ONE DAY HE WILL CALL FORT HOOD TERRORISM INSTEAD of a WORK PLACE ACCIDENT.

However they are a much better ally than Pakistan. We pay Pakistan a billion dollars a year and they turn right around and give a cut to the Taliban. Saudi Arabia has not done this.
So Lunchbox, actually his handlers, are going to play hardball against China, Russia and Saudi Arabia, while unofficially at war with Pakistan. Make sense?
Allies?
Where?
Going after the Saudis while canceling the KeystoneXL, okay got it.....
