    I'm assuming you just admitted to losing this argument, by not responding to it, but instead added another escape argument into the mix so you wouldn't have to answer for the first? What does Iran using money to finance global terrorism have to do with the transaction we originally had with them? Absolutely nothing! You simply have no viable counter rebuttal to mine. "It's that simple".

    And your position is an admission of not having a counter argument to the facts I laid out for you.

    Supplying money to kill people is immoral. That's all the argument that is needed.

    Lol! Folks like you make excuses for your failed argument by substituting another. One argument has absolutely nothing to do with the other. It's called using simple logic in a debate to draw an accurate conclusion. Something you apparently will conveniently never understand. Logic teaches us that substituting one failed argument for another, does not fix the original argument. Something the Right continually keeps getting caught at. You folks are never going to learn are you?

    Has nothing to do with morality. There you go again. Substituting the original argument with moral judgment, which has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the original argument. Learn to think logically. You'll be much better off because of it. You're like a sitting duck when it comes to destroying all your arguments, because one has nothing to do with the other.

    America has a long history of supplying weapons to terrorists; hell, you even had NORAID raising funds so the IRA could blow children to pieces, and shoot dissenters in the kneecaps. Not a peep about that from your government.

    The argument is that the money which was confiscated from Iran will be used to kill innocent people. It is immoral to do that.

    He sure did. Allowed Iran to speed up their development of nuclear weapons and destabilized entire region. He was a foreign policy disaster.

    Trump will play the game but the Saudis should never underestimate him, as many political foes have done before - and to their great regret. He can be a good friend but also a terrible enemy.

    The really cool part is that we never intended to publish it.. We wrote it for our grandchildren and expected to print it and put it looseleafed binders.

    The don't support terrorism. They learned a hard, hard lesson when they supported OBL in the US proxy war with the Soviets.

    The Saudis are well aware of Trump. They have studied him for over a year.

    The Saudis love Donald Trump just others do.
    The White House they see now is presided over by a strong leader — a model Gulf monarchs recognize from their own governing style.

    ....“The GCC countries are not only excited about Trump, but the people he’s chosen to have around him,” said Alibrahim, who dismissed Obama as “the worst president ever,”

    The Saudis have excellent manners and are very hospitable. Their honor is for the US president, not Trump.
