US Ambassador Ford Fraker said in Sakaka that his country aims to double the number of student visas issued to Saudis.
“Currently there are 15,000 Saudi students in the US,” he said during an event on Sunday with local business leaders to an audience at the Al-Jouf Chamber of Commerce and Industry. “We aim to increase their numbers to 30,000 over the next five years.”
Fraker said Saudi Arabia should bolster its English-language programs because it is generally required for Saudis seeking to pursue higher studies in the US.
Fraker also stressed the need for popularizing English teaching programs because it would overcome the language barriers for Saudi students seeking to study in the US easier.
In order to facilitate increased mutual visits, Fraker said he is working to simplify the issue of visas to Saudi businessmen.
Who ever is in charge of letting the f#$king Saudis in should be stoned in the village square.
The Saudis are not our friends. The Saudis are the ones financing mooselimb terrorism. Screw Saudi arabia and saudis.
“double visas only after they double oil shipments to the US.”
No kidding. At some point we have to expect something back for our generosity!
Immediately deny all Western student visas, admission to schools, etc., to all arab nations.
WOT over that day.
THAT HOUR.
I am so sick of our goobermint.
They are beyond worthless.
I just wish that the Bush Administration would stop grabbing their ankles for the Saudis long enough to talk them into lowering the price of their oil by a buck or two. If you are going to prostitute yourself to the Arabs you my as well get paid for it.
They can help us in the finer point of Sharia.
After all, even though cigarette smoking in public was made legal in Saud in the 1960’s, we have banned it here.
I hope they feel at home. They prolly will, what with all our alcohol restrictions and speech constraints, apart from religious speech of course.
Inshallah.
Gotta hand it to the Saudis, they have us over a barrel bent over so far backwards that we can forgive them the deaths of those killed on 11/9.
Nice to have friends in high places.
No wonder we’ve coined a war on a tactic, LOL!
Our government has to be STOOOOOOOPEEEED!
Not just dumb but rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid, so stupid it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid.
Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape.
.I'm sorry. I can't go on. This is an epiphany of stupid for me.
Let’s see, 15 out of 19 terrorists on 9/11 were Saudi.
At least half of all outside suicide terrorists coming into Iraq are coming from Saudi Arabia.
And the jokers that rule us want us to believe that there is any reliable way to ensure that out of 30,000 Saudi ‘students’ there won’t be a significant number of future terrorists????
We should not be allowing ANY students from any of the jihad-loving cultures to come here, no matter what the reason.
UNbelievable. We do not take in any Christian refugees from Iraq where they are being butchered but we reward sworn enemies like the Saudis—to come here and exploit our freedoms....this after they went to war with us in 1973.
