So, over a 5 day span, the terrorist checked in, acquired a handgun with 4 extended magazines and ammunition, posted a manifesto online condemning the US as a “nation of evil” along Islamist and anti-Semitic lines, planned and executed his attack with at least 3 accomplices. At least 10 Saudi Military Officers knew of the plan, and either participated or did nothing to stop it. Each one of these individuals had passed the screening process to come train in the United States. That brief recount of the chain of events begs a series of questions, some of which are easier to answer than others.
Here are some of the most obvious questions, and my best effort to answer them.
The attacker started at the Quarterdeck (front desk), and the 3 killed were on duty at the time. Ensign Watson was the duty officer, was shot 5 times and still managed to call first responders and evacuate the building and personally direct them to the location of the shooter prior to dying of his wounds. The other 2 killed were also in the immediate vicinity of the quarterdeck. Many of the wounded were as well, some being wounded as they tried to climb out of windows.
Have the domestic enemies running for president read any scripts on this yet?
Attitude is not surprising.
Saw the same back in college in the late 70s. Exactly the same.
It was also posted three days ago by the “blogger” that claimed credit for it.

Well, it got damned little play. It needs to go up and stay up!
This is important information we’re not getting elsewhere.
KEEP IT UP!
Train them in their own countries. Problem solved...u til they go jhadi and fly over to kill us.
Carpet bomb Islamist countries to give us a head start till they reconstitute
OMFG!
We need to stop training Saudis and start killing them.
Oh, wait! That’s a hate crime. Nevermind.
The Saudi training has been suspended indefinitely.
Were you sympathetic toward Islamic Jihadis before you saw this?
Did it change your opinion of them in some way?
His accomplices have really gotten off the hook as far as MSM reports. Have they all been arrested? If so, how many & what are their names & where are their photos?
That’s right........how many more must die before we stop this?
Why was this post removed from Free Republic?
Had a friend who taught foreign pilots to fly the F-5 at a base in Arizona back in the 80s. He said skill and attitude were a direct reflection of where the pilots came from. Pilots from Singapore were invariably at the top of each class; they were carefully screened, products of a superior education and training system and had an incredible work ethic. Took copious notes and recorded all lectures; they also were excellent pilots. He also said the Jordanians were very good, largely because King Hussein personally reviewed the records of every pilot sent to the U.S. for training, and his own background as an aviator.
At the bottom? Saudis and Mexicans. My friend said they viewed the course as a high speed flying club and were always first at the O Club bar, trying to hook up with American women.
