So then what does this have to do with Trump? Why is his name appearing at all? You lefties connecting dots that aren't remotely connected, but TDS has you seeing things that don't exist. You're all off the deep end. If some guy went out last night and ordered a "white Russian" you'd being calling him a racist with connections to Putin. Here's a new symbol of racism and collusion you lefties can use. What kind of madman comes up with a drink like this and the white always has to be on top deosn't it? The horror.
Because Trump SOLD them BOMBS that Obama BLOCKED Saudis from having them. Why is this complicated? Retards who can't compile one logical argument have to rely on some bullshit made up TDS to defend their idiocy.
This is a fine narrative until someone arrives at the fact the actual bomb dropped in this incident was sold to the Saudi's before Trump became President.
Go read Al-Jazeera -- their coverage is much more in-depth about this incident - https://www.aljazeera.com/ Here is some more information regarding the bomb via CNN - https://edition.cnn.com/2018/08/17/middleeast/us-saudi-yemen-bus-strike-intl/index.html The serial number on the fin found for the bomb appears to identify it as a MK-82 that was sold to the Saudi's before December 2016.
After the bombing of a funeral hall in October 2016, which killed 155 people, Obama halted the sale of guided munition technology to Saudi Arabia, on the grounds that improved precision would not save civilian lives if the Saudi-led coalition were not taking care to avoid hitting non-military targets. The sales were reinstated by the Trump administration’s first secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, in March 2017. Is this hard to understand? Obama blocked sale of these bombs because Saudis were not careful about civilian deaths and they would not continue to use their older stockpile if they didn't have a continuous supply.
I didn't bring up Trump. We've been "allies" w/the Saudis for decades. Obama was abrasive to that alliance and was scorned for it. To his credit he stopped supplying them w/armament, and Trump re-instated those sales. For latest numbers look at lockheed and raytheon stock this week.
And yet the Saudi's have a large stock-pile of these bombs which Obama sold to them before December 2016 and they continue to use. Which part of this reality do you find hard to understand? Plus the reality that it appears the Saudi's did not order any more MK-82's since Trump was President since they were already sitting on a significant stockpile.
Nothing in your source backs your claim that the bomb was sold at some date. Artillery isn't canned tuna, there's no expiration date and the US could've sold them old bombs last week for all we know. Trump just doesn't want his own "fast and furious" but here we are. Working with local Yemeni journalists and munitions experts, CNN has established that the weapon that left dozens of children dead on August 9 was a 500-pound (227 kilogram) laser-guided MK 82 bomb made by Lockheed Martin, one of the top US defense contractors. The bomb is very similar to the one that wreaked devastation in an attack on a funeral hall in Yemen in October 2016 in which 155 people were killed and hundreds more wounded. The Saudi coalition blamed "incorrect information" for that strike, admitted it was a mistake and took responsibility. The schoolboys on a field trip in Yemen were chatting and laughing. Then came the airstrike In March of that year, a strike on a Yemeni market -- this time reportedly by a US-supplied precision-guided MK 84 bomb -- killed 97 people. In the aftermath of the funeral hall attack, former US President Barack Obama banned the sale of precision-guided military technology to Saudi Arabia over "human rights concerns." The ban was overturned by the Trump administration's then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in March 2017.
