It looks like a case of Kabuki Theater.

Make a public show of taking action and when the public has forgotten quietly resume the program.

[EvilCapitalist]

That headline does not inspire confidence in me. Gives me flashbacks to 9/11

[Paladin2]

What has changed to preclude an act of Jihad on American soil from ever happening again?

[Bommer]

Bunch of Fing tards! Where the part about background screening? Their asshold government can afford flight simulators. Train there!

[DIRTYSECRET]

It will happen again What did POTUS get for reinstitution the program?

[LibWhacker]

I hope President Trump tracks down the decision-making SOB with all those heavy stars on his lapel and busts him down to buck private. What is it with these dumb b***ards? (Hey, don’t put words in my mouth; maybe that’s UZZ.)

“International students must agree to the new policies in order to participate in U.S. training.”

That’s a relief!

As long as these Saudis agree not to commit acts of Terrorism, we should all feel safe.

[Secret Agent Man]

And the attacks on our military will resume,...?

[Vaquero]

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

[KarlInOhio]

was allowed to restart once additional safety restrictions were put in place.

Just roll the students in. And don't let them have any pens.

[Aria]

What happened to our military? Are the training sites now “gun free zones”???? I can’t believe this.

You...don’t....let....them.....in.

The relinquished the right to train in the USA.

“International students must agree to the new policies in order to participate in U.S. training.”

'You promise not to shoot any Americans?'

'Yes, we promise'.

[IronJack]

Why are we teaching ragheads how to fly? I don’t see the raggy militaries teaching our guys anything.

[Lurkinanloomin]

This is dumb.
The training can take place in their Kingdom.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Think of the woman who took in the snake.

[null and void]

Or the frog that gave a ride to the scorpion...

[Pearls Before Swine]

How can foreign military guests even have “personally owned firearms?” Forbidding them is fine, but how come they have them in the first place?

[LouAvul]

After 9/11 there were tons of "Never Forget!" banners.

That lasted about a month. Two months later we forgot.

[Theoria]

smfh.....Well SA got a large US footprint in their country to protect them against IRan.

U.S. Forces Return to Saudi Arabia to Deter Attacks by Iran About 2,500 Americans staff base near Riyadh, launching F-15s and manning Patriot missile batteries, despite history of Islamist opposition

[EinNYC]

So, the stupid government is again being played for a fool and admitting Saudi ARABS to flight training.
