    Having terrorist in your country does not make you a terrorist nation, or we all would be.

    Saudi Arabia moved their villages back from the Yemen border 20 kilometers in 2001-2002. Now they are sheltering million Yemeni in the kingdom. In addition to the various jihadi groups in Yemen you still have the Royalists and Communists trying to "right wrongs" from the 1960s...

    Yes they are. Stop trying to pretend the Saudi Royals don’t support.

    No they never have. If a Saudi goes to Syria to fight, he'd better not return home.. He'll get prison time. ISIS declared war on Arabia in 2011 and has carried out over 2 dozen suicide bombings in the kingdom.. Plus they have had many pitched gunbattles with terrorists. 10 months ago they broke up two cells .. one was training suicide bombers and the other was making bombs.

    They have also fought AQ non-stop. You just don't pay attention.. Do you get your news from Jihad Watch or something? Arabia has been a solid US ally for over 70 years and they have NEVER been on the dole.

    That’s right, good allies just go around killing their citizens.

    USA had been Saudi Arabia’s bitch for 70 years. They know they can do anything they want in the ME without impunity.

    With friends like SA and Israel who needs enemies?

    Khashoggi? He was MB and wanted to overthrow the government.. AQ and ISIS want to kill the Saudi royals. They want to turn Arabia into another Iraq or Libya or Syria.

    Every president, especially since after WWI have sent Troops all over the world. I don't see the unconstitutionality about it. Besides, congress hasn't declared war since the beginning of WWII, 5 Jun 1942 to be exact.

    Exactly, congress hasn't declared war since WWII meaning every single one of those wars was unconstitutional. Did trump get notify and request approval for this latest one?
