"But the Saudi's are our allies."

"But what do you expect Raytheon engineers and owners to do, starve?"

"But they're Muslim."

"But they harbor terrorists."

Did I miss any of the canned excuses?

What gets me is the non stop outrage and wall-to-wall coverage over a rich elite guy's murder while the Saudis are in the middle of comitting the worst genocide for a century, bomb schoolbuses full of kids, starve an entire generation of babies to death, and it gets maybe 0.1% of the attention Khashoggi's murder gets.
