At the bottom of it is Islam.

They cannot be peaceful.

It is against their religion.

Rather than bring Saudis into the US to train, why don’t we send the instructors to Saudi Arabia...and at the Saudi’s expense? It will save American lives.

I suspect they don’t have our flight simulators for the F-15’s and F-35’s. Training would not be a single instructor.

The duplicate resources would be expensive, though the Saudis could afford it. But your point is correct. Its not just the instructors. Its the entire school, the training simulators and other facilities, the training aircraft themselves and all the associated maintenance support. Also, pilots dont come to NAS P-COLA to learn F-35. They come to learn to be aviators first, in much simpler aircraft. Only after they have earned their wings do they go off to the Training squadrons for their specific aircraft.

F-15’s should have been F-16’s. My mind is not always where it should be.

Thank you for that explanation. I’ve been to Air Force bases. Taught some classes at one. It was not a flight training base.

Individuals are not nations. Not all citizens of nations reflect what the majority is.

I don’t ever defend Islamists. I do have some friends who are Muslim. They know I am Christian and accept that. All of those friends are freedom lovers.

Islamists are never freedom lovers.

This wasn’t just a “shooting”. It was a Muslim terrorist attack and Trump needs to unequivocally call it that.

Tell me after the Fort Hood terror attack we do NOT still have “gun free zones” at military installations.

If he does not doubt Adam Schitt will make that more grounds for impeachment.

I have no idea if they do. Ft. Hood is a national property. Not directed by Texas law, from what I have read.

Impeach Schmimpeach. Obama was rightly criticized for downplaying Muslim terrorist attacks when they occurred on his watch. Expecting Trump to be different in that regard isn’t asking too much.

Solution?? Carpet bomb population centers of Saudi Arabia. Should have been done after 9-11 along with Egypt.

In the presidents own words:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

King Salman of Saudi Arabia just called to express his sincere condolences and give his sympathies to the families and friends of the warriors who were killed and wounded in the attack that took place in Pensacola, Florida....

....The King said that the Saudi people are greatly angered by the barbaric actions of the shooter, and that this person in no way shape or form represents the feelings of the Saudi people who love the American people.

Sudden Jihad Syndrome on a Friday.

Who’dve thunk?

Wonder which Imam twisted up his turban during “Friday Prayers”?

That is a possible. I would not want to be someone supporting him inside SA. His life will be short.
