Ladies and gentlemen, it appears the long anticipated moment of peak mainstream media stupidity may have finally arrived. This is what passes for journalism in America today. The Intercept reports: Sen. Rand Paul’s expression of opposition to a $1.1 billion U.S. arms sale to Saudi Arabia — which has been brutally bombing civilian targets in Yemen using U.S.-made weapons for more than a year now — alarmed CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Thursday afternoon. Blitzer’s concern: That stopping the sale could result in fewer jobs for arms manufacturers. “So for you this is a moral issue,” he told Paul during the Kentucky Republican’s appearance on CNN. “Because you know, there’s a lot of jobs at stake. Certainly if a lot of these defense contractors stop selling war planes, other sophisticated equipment to Saudi Arabia, there’s gonna be a significant loss of jobs, of revenue here in the United States. That’s secondary from your standpoint?” Paul stayed on message. “Well not only is it a moral question, its a Constitutional question,” Paul said. “Our founding fathers very directly and specifically did not give the president the power to go to war. They gave it to Congress. So Congress needs to step up and this is what I’m doing.” Saudi Arabia began bombing Yemen in March 2015, and has since been responsible for the majority of the 10,000 deaths in the war so far. The U.S.-backed bombing coalition has been accused of intentionally targeting civilians, hospitals, factories, markets, schools, and homes. The situation is so bad that the Red Cross has started donating morgue units to Yemeni hospitals. The Obama administration has sold more weapons to the Saudis than any other administration, pledging more than $115 billion worth of small arms, tanks, helicopters, missiles, and aircraft. But hey, the Saudis aren’t really that bad, right. No, they’re just one of the most barbaric, inhumane terrorist supporting states on planet earth. Need some proof? Here you go: U.S. Government Reaffirms Total Support for Saudi War Crimes in Yemen Saudi Arabia Forces the United Nations to Remove it from a List of Child Killers Record Beheadings and the Mass Arrest of Christians – Is it ISIS? No it’s Saudi Arabia Poster Comment: The D&R party's economic policy is never ending global jihad. Wolf knows.

Excellent post, Hondo; yup, the press is pretty much goddamned dumbed down. And they act as a virus to America.
yes an excellent presentation
an excellent presentation The guy is a fake "Christian" Muslim Protestant, like Obama. You can't blame them on the Catholics. Walter Vieth is a fake "Christian" Muslim Protestant? How do you figure that?
He's playing the divide and conquer game, for a globalist caliphate. Global, deity free, state approved religion. He's NWO status quo, to the end. He's hugging his muzzies all the way to the bank. You guys don't have to worry the US won't stop arming the Sauds, they are going down the same stupid road they did with Saddam, using them to oppose Iran, but they forget they are being used, and when the Sauds get their ass kicked, guess who is going to rush to their aid?
We put the Shah in, then took him out.... This nation building with "democratic rebels" etc. is not working well. Perhaps we should mind our own damn business instead? Yes sometimes the people kick the imperialists out, but when they do the imperialists bring down retribution against them
By showing folks how Islam is a fraud that was created in the image of Rome? Okeedokie.
