“King Salman of Saudi Arabia just called to express his sincere condolences and give his sympathies to the families “

That’s gotta be a comfort. /s Crack open your checkbook asshole. 10 million per victim might be a start to show us how sad you really are.

"...an aviation student from Saudi Arabia as investigators are looking into whether the attack is terrorism-related."

This very intelligent statement from the Paul Ryan Fox News needs repeating...

"...an aviation student from Saudi Arabia as investigators are looking into whether the attack is terrorism-related."

How does that old saying go? "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it..." (Or something like that...)

Just FYI, not to say things shouldnt be changed, but these military exchanges have been going on as far back as I can recall (70's at least). When I was in flight school in 84/85 we had students from several foreign 'allied' countries in training. So these programs have been in place a long time, and its a big diplomatic thing to nix an 'ally' from participation.

As much as I dont trust and would never completely turn my back on a follower of Mohamed, Saudi has been an ally and a host for our forces through both Gulf Wars 1 and 2, and the govt, though not necessarily all its people, have been supportive of efforts in the region to stop radical islamics and terrorists.

The KSA is useful at times, thats about as much as you can credit them for.

Your response is not a reasoned one. We have been training foreign military individuals, since before World War II. Some of them became loyal allies of the USA and have led their countries to support us worldwide. Some have become enemies, and a very few have done something like this.

When I was in school at Ft. Benning, we had a Saudi Prince in the course and we had quite a few Iranian officers, who were in the Shah’s Army. The Prince has been a staunch ally of the U.S. Unfortunately, the Iranian officers were all executed when the Shah fell. Sometimes it sucks to be a friend of America.

Having said all I said in 44, Trump is about the only person I can think of who could force a review of the entire State/DoD program that these exchanges take place under. The Sauds are perfectly capable of paying some other country to train their pilots.

International students can complete all or part of the typical 18-month syllabus on base and must go through several federal vetting processes before training at NAS Pensacola.

“The way that program works is that the foreign government has to certify that these are the best of their best, that these are their future generals and admirals and senior military officials for their countries,” said U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R, Fla.). “The U.S. State Department does a scrub on those prospective trainees, and after that they matriculate into the program.”

If that is the case the Saudi vetting program is unreliable, perhaps he was the son of someone special?

It’s total BS and every red blooded American knows it.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

You won’t get any argument from me. 17 of the buggers, many aviation trained in Florida, did the Twin Towers and the rest of 9/11.

Something must change.

Al-Shamrani is an Arabic surname that is given to those who are a part of the Arabic tribe known as “Shamran” that exists in the southern part of modern-day Saudi Arabia.

Not much in Arabic yet, but there is a picture of him (taken from NBC) in this site from the area https://www.almashhad-alyemeni.com/151724

If this is a picture of him (to the right) https://albiladdaily.com/2019/12/07/%d8%a7%d9%84%d8%b4%d9%85%d8%b1%d8%a7%d9%86%d9%8a-%d8%a5%d9%84%d9%89-%d8%b1%d8%aa%d8%a8%d8%a9-%d9%85%d9%82%d8%af%d9%85/ then someone should have a talk with the Al-Qunfudah Governorate Police and the person to the left.

It would be interesting to see a similar survey from Saudi and Iran:

There’s a ban on firearms on this base. Maybe LEOs?

Thanks for the ping!

The ban is nationwide, BTW. We can thank GHWB and Bubba for it.
