One of the bigger problems in Saudi Arabia is that even if much of the kingdom eventually modernizes that doesn’t mean the rest of the country will.
What modernization are you talking about? Do you think it would be cooler if they would crash space ships instead of airplanes into buildings or shoot people with blasters instead of bullets?

This appears to be a conspiracy of at least seven terrorists. A thorough review of our vetting procedures is needed immediately. It's not clear to me that all six arrested are also military, Saudi or otherwise. If not, it would point to a more expansive cell located near our base. If all 7 are Saudi military, perhaps worse. How did all 7 keep their plans secret? Am I to believe these are the only 7 anti American Saudis? Others must have known or suspected and kept quiet.

It is apparently a slow news day because the shooting at NAS Pensacola is about all that is on. There is a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth concerned with a lack or absence of vetting by the FBI or the Saudi government or what ever.
There were only three killed. What? how can I trivialize the deaths of three brave American aviators?
I don’t. I want to make the point that when more than four times that number were killed BY AN AMERICAN MILITARY OFFICER IN TEXAS, there was no such effort. That officer was an Islamic Terrorist Soldier Officer. His crime is much more heinous.
“This appears to be a conspiracy of at least seven terrorists. A thorough review of our vetting procedures is needed immediately.”
This cannot be done with any assurance. Growing up educated by the Wahabi clerics, living in a land where blasphemy can get you a death sentence, where religious conversion is illegal, and with a society that blames others, primarily the U.S., for all that is wrong in their part of the world, there is no way to know what is lurking in the heart of a young Saudi. No way at all. If they were asked anything that might reveal terrorist intentions, their own religious conviction would tell them to just lie. To lie to infidels about plans against them is not a sin.

An attitude like that will win him a job as a campaign manager for any of the far left Dem candidates.
I can’t imagine. Yeah, right.
I imagine thy are training for flying the type of aircraft that we sold them.
Better to have Saudis themselves train their pilots over in their Kingdom.
If no one know how, let them figure it out themselves.
Get all ME students sent back to their home Islamic Caliphate Shari Law countries.

Interesting it was never exposed that he was a spy (against SA) posing as a journalist.
That’s why he was dispatched with prejudice.

Good list for a start.
Osama Bin Laden was Saudi … Likewise 15/19 of the 9-11 hijackers.
Jus’ sayin’ ...
Well, you’re right. My thought, American centric, was that something must have been openly expressed here in the US. Filming a terror attack, what were they thinking? You are correct if you meant to suggest there was an religious motivation, motivated by a belief system those in the know wouldn’t betray. I’m sure you’re right. Then there’s tribal/family affiliation. Religion, even a radical version, tribal/cultural/family affiliation. The US is far from considering factors like that.
I won’t lay it at the foot of the government, but I suspect many knew of it. Killing Americans and/or Jews is an admirable act in many nations/cultures. Not everyone, just a whole bunch.
It is amazing we did not have a much greater “some people did something” incident. Ship. Them. All. Back .
The NSA knows more about our shopping habits than the Islamic scum training on our bases.
9-11 redux
I suspect they knew about these guys too.
Were likely told to overlook it.
