Sorry, that's too extreme and she'll never get the nomination if she uses such a hysterical line. She can make a point that Trump's alliance with Saudi Arabia is against American and Israeli interests. But Saudi Arabia is a traditional American ally and to say they are a front for Al Qaeda is ridiculous.

It's in line with Israel's interests though since both Israel and Saudi Arabia hate Iran with a passion.
But Saudi Arabia is a traditional American ally and to say they are a front for Al Qaeda is ridiculous.
There's speculation that much of Al Qaeda's funding comes from Saudi Arabia. Fifteen of the nineteen 9/11 hijackers were Saudis. Bin Laden was a Saudi. The Wahhabi theology that ISIS and Al Qaeda follow is dominant in Saudi Arabia. -

Iran is just the new Neo-Con buzzword. They'd love to get us embroiled in a war with Iran. It would be 10 times more bloody than the war in Iraq. And it serves no longterm purpose. Eventually every tinhorn dictator will have nukes. There must an international diplomatic treaty.
Yes, there are the dilettante sons of Saudi millionaires who support radical fundamentalism. But the ruling class in Saudi Arabia knows its future lies with good relations with the U.S. They have as much to fear from the likes of ISIS as the West does.

I had high hopes for her, she seemed like the most sane out of all of the contenders, guess I was wrong. These days you have to shout "squirrel" really loud or no one will notice you.

Believe me, there are things about Tulsi that I take issue with e.g., her speech at the CUFI (Christians United for Israel) conference a few years ago and her recent anti-BDS vote, but I still think she's the best candidate on foreign policy.
Bernie is good on domestic policy though I disagree with giving free healthcare to illegals. On foreign policy, he's a mixed bag. But he's still miles better than opportunistic Warren and most of the other candidates. I'll probably vote for him in the primary if Tulsi ends up dropping out. -

I just think Bernie being a radical for decades, he knows "the game", but most importantly, BELIEVES in what he's saying and hope he'd do the right thing. Now all of a sudden, those policies everyone said were too extreme are now adopted by the people. He even had Fox audiences agreeing, and I think deep down, people might say certain things to sound self-sufficient, but in that ballot box - you never know. I mean, he almost beat "the most qualified person ever" despite being cheated by the DNC, super-delegates, Hillary getting questions before debates, and a million other things.
Tulsi and the CFR is also bad. But its everyone. Just a couple of years ago, they were repeating Hillary's right-wing talking points.. Now, they're all copying Bernie, of course with a few split hairs, to try and have a stranglehold on a certain market or demographic.

Probably because the war in Iraq did nothing to stop Al Qaeda. Saddam Hussein was our ally against Muslim fundie lunatics. Bush killed the wrong guy.
And Gabbard is not Wonder Woman anyway lol. Female soldiers never fight on the front lines.
