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.
