He said there would be 'severe' punishment if it was found that the Saudis were responsible. Well, they are. Now he says the story is credible.
He's a lying coward. If killing and cutting up a journalists body doesn't illicit some sort of negative reaction from world leaders like Trump then I truly feel sorry for our planet.

Negative reactions don't count for anything. That's the equivalent of Hans Blix's "Angry letter telling you how angry we are" threat to Kim Jong Un in Team America world police.
You either insitute actions or you don't. Is blatantly sanctioning Saudi Arabia and having them pull investments, push oil over $100/bbl, and cause a bunch of economic destruction worth the life of one guy? Probably not, a better course of action would be to slowly move away from buying their oil. Trudeau doing what he can to re-start Energy East would be a good start, just like Obama could have not quashed the Keystone pipeline as it's been pretty clear for the last 40 years that relying on Saudi is a bad policy.
