15. Saudi Arabia has one of the worst human rights records in the world

Saudi Arabia has some truly barbaric laws, they stone people to death, execute people for being gay, their human rights record is absolutely horrible.

Now does anyone honestly believe a country with a human rights record like theirs would get involved with this because they want a humanitarian mission to stand up for the children who were gassed? I sure don't buy it.

If Saudi Arabia wants this war so badly that they are willing to pay for it, I think we deserve a full explanation as to what that motive is. I think most of us have our suspicions, but I want to hear Kerry asked the question.
