Saudi Arabia.

[F3600]

Yesterday on the radio was an interview with Gerald Posner (Secrets of the Kingdom).  One interesting take he had was that besides how common stuff like this is all over the world, is that it's surprising Turkey did not take this recording to the Saudi's and use it as leverage for existing negotiations and concessions.  That there is a reason Turkey and others want to put the new Prince under pressure.

I tend to agree, after all, killing one of your own citizens in your own sovereign land isn't out of the norm for any of these governments.

That is not what occurred here. It was a gruesome murder in a consulate of a  NATO country

People are more outraged about this than the 300,000+ Iraqi's that Saddam killed.

   Try again.  Jesus you people are gullible.  This is the Gulf war.  Doesn't come close to 50K.   Come on Ben you really believe we killed almost 3% of the population?   Iraq war added another 100-150K and not all were at the hands of the US.

How many Iraqis died?

Independent analysts generally agree the Iraqi death toll was well below initial post-war estimates. In the immediate aftermath of the war, these estimates ranged as high as 100,000 Iraqi troops killed and 300,000 wounded.

According to "Gulf War Air Power Survey" by Thomas A. Keaney and Eliot A. Cohen, (a report commissioned by the U.S. Air Force; 1993-ISBN 0-16-041950-6), there were an estimated 10-12,000 Iraqi combat deaths in the air campaign and as many as 10,000 casualties in the ground war. This analysis is based on enemy prisoner of war reports.

The Iraqi government says 2,300 civilians died during the air campaign.

One infamous incident during the war highlighted the question of large-scale Iraqi combat deaths. This was the `bulldozer assault' in which two brigades from the U.S. Army's 1st Infantry Division (Mechanized)--The Big Red One--used plows mounted on tanks and combat earthmovers to bury Iraqi soldiers defending the fortified "Saddam Line."

While approximately 2,000 of the troops surrendered, escaping burial, one newspaper story reported that the U.S. commanders estimated thousands of Iraqi soldiers had been buried alive during the two-day assault February 24-25, 1991.

However, like all other troop estimates made during the war, the estimated 8,000 Iraqi defenders was probably greatly inflated. While one commander thought the numbers might have been in the thousands, another reported his brigade buried between 80 and 250 Iraqis. After the war, the Iraqi government found 44 bodies.

I do too especially the ones that act so superior and "intelligent."    I think some on here have claimed 3 million Iraqi's killed.   Its fucking insane that's almost 10% of the population.  To put it in perspective Russia lost 13.7% of its population in WW2.

Obviously not or the US would be spending a trillion dollars bombing the fuck out of the Saudi's.  Which really should have been the first stop before Afghanistan being as 16 of the hijackers were Saudi's . 

But then again you'd rather kill innocent civilians and lose 1,000's of soldiers than pay $6.00 per gallon. 

Freeeeedumb.

Iran is killing ISIS, Al Nusra and Al Qaeda in Syria while Israel is attacking Iran in Syria trying to protect Al Qaeda, ISIS and Al Nusra... Our good friends!

[steve from amherst]

Makes Syria seem almost easy to follow along.

 

In 2015, Saudi Arabia formed a coalition of Arab states to defeat the Houthis in Yemen. The coalition includes Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Sudan and Senegal. Several of these countries have sent troops to fight on the ground in Yemen, while others have only carried out air attacks.

The US government regularly launches air attacks on al-Qaeda and Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) targets in Yemen, and recently admitted to having deployed a small number of troops on the ground. The US, along with other western powers such as the UK and France, has also supplied the Saudi-led coalition with weapons and intelligence.

Iran has denied arming the Houthi rebels, but the US military said it intercepted arms shipments from Iran to Yemen this March, claiming it was the third time in two months that this had occurred. Iranian officials have also suggested they may send military advisers to support the Houthis.
