IN ITS ANNUAL human rights report on Saudi Arabia, the State Department ignored thousands of civilian casualties from the Saudi-led bombing campaign in Yemen and overlooked the widespread use of illegal cluster munitions by the bombing coalition.

Saudi Arabia launched an air campaign in Yemen last March after Houthi rebels in Yemen threatened the rule of the Saudi-backed president. The Saudi military has been widely criticized for targeting civilians, destroying homes, schools, and hospitals, and using internationally banned cluster munitions.................

President Obama has approved more arms sales to Saudi Arabia than any other president. By 2015, his administration had approved more than $100 billion in weapons sales to the Saudis, and currently has approved $46 billion in new agreements.

A State Department spokesperson, who would only comment on background, pointed out that the U.S. has called on both sides of the conflict to protect civilians. He also claimed that the use of cluster munitions is not a human rights violation because the United States has not signed the ban on cluster munitions.

Earlier in the day, September 13, 2001, the FAA "issued a notice that private aviation was banned and that three private planes that had violated the ban had been forced to land by military aircraft," according to an article published in Vanity Fair.

On the afternoon of September 13, 2001, "three Saudi men in their early 20s flew in a Lear jet from Tampa, Fla., to Lexington, Ky., where they boarded a Boeing 747 with Arabic writing on it waiting to take them out of the country."

The flight from Tampa to Lexington, first reported October 2001 in the Tampa Tribune, "was one of several flights that Saudi Arabian citizens took in the immediate aftermath of September 11, 2001 when the rest of the country was prohibited from flying.""

"Many of the Saudis were members of the Saudi royal family or the bin Laden family."

The New York Times "reported that bin Laden family members were driven or flown under FBI supervision to a secret meeting in Texas and then to Washington, from where they left the country when airports were allowed to open Sept. 14, 2001."

Bolton concluded that "close to 140 Saudis left the U.S. days after the attacks, even though 15 of the 19 terrorists who carried out the Sept. 11 attacks were Saudi Arabian."

He's also approved more arms sales to SA than any other president and his State Department likes to under-report casualties on behalf of the Saudis. At least Rand Paul and Chris Murphy are trying to block US arms sales to SA. I still think Paul would have been an interesting pick for the GOP.

Anyhoo...do you ever get the impression that when each president gets his sit down/come-to-jesus meeting before taking office that he's told Saudi Arabia is off limits for criticizing?

Strange, the only time you seem to be post partisan is when you are repeating the mantra that you are post partisan. Most of the other times you seem decidedly on one side of the aisle. I haven't seen you in the middle for at least a year now.

They both go left 99.99% of the time.
And the 0.01% is when they feel the left isn't going left enough.

Psst...just to let you guys know...partisan can mean a strong supporter of party as well. It doesn't have to be which "side of the aisle."

I'm fiercely independent and liberal.

I'm also post racial so I don't know what DSUrocks being a black Republican has to do with anything.

Gary Johnson motherfuckers!
