Wray is on the case!:
Time to stop letting these muzzies, and other foreign students come here so we can train them on how to kill us.
It’s nothing new. When I was in basic at Lackland AFB in San Antonio, there were a large amount of Arab military training there also.
At Keesler AFB, Mississippi, we had a couple of squadrons of Iranian and Ethiopian Air Force students there. This was in 1976.
The Iranians were mostly jerks. The Ethiopians were very nice, mild and Christian (the whole country practices and ancient orthodox Christianity). One guy was my friend. Sadly, there was a communist revolution in 1977 and most of these guys were executed. Of course, we know how Jimmy Carter helped oust the Shah in 1979, leading to the Islamacist revolution. Many of the Iranian Air Force and Army that trained with us were either executed or used as cannon fodder in the Iran-Iraq war in 1980.
“I assume that the Obama rot runs deep in our military.”
As much disdain as I have for Obama, I can’t lay this one at his feet - we have been training Saudi Air Force pilots in the USA since the 1970’s.
The more defectives you have in a given population the more likely some are to get through the screening process. A pretty sizable chunk of the Saudi population thinks it is a great thing to go down as a martyr killing American infidels. All it takes is one to get through and here we are. For Al Qaeda and their type it is a double win having a Saudi do this: kill Americans while damaging the relationship between the Saudi and American governments.
And that's exactly why Trump needs to change some of these lunatic suicidal policies...
They have to have Saudi pilots that can train them in their own country. If they don't, sell them simulators to use over there, or send someone from here to train them in their own country. They don't need to be here to be trained.
Good point.
You are right...it was a blunder of biblical proportions. Completely destroyed the balance of power and destabilized the Middle East and Europe as well probably indefinitely.
I am shocked they released the name so quickly, but then again, Obama is no longer POTUS.

I’m shocked. Shocked, I say!
Will be interesting to see if he has any connections to the Saudi Hezbollah, which is supported by Iran, since Iran is having a helluva time putting down protests there at the moment, and something like this carried out by a Saudi would be to Iran’s advantage only.
The Khobar Towers terrorists were Hezbollah as well, and supported by an Iranian handler, an Iranian general, despite their Saudi citizenship.
Hell, I remember Iranian pilots trying out (F-15’s ?)at Andrews AFB in 1973 (?) before we sold them 200. Really some hot dog pilots. It was thrilling to watch.
Work place violence.
Hate for you to miss this . . .
“The same people who were up in arms over Trump’s Muslim ban are crickets over this incident.”
Trump’s Muslim ban specifically exempted his good friends the Saudis so it wouldn’t have done anything to stop this terrorist attack.
