Well in that case, let’s rush in and make sure they get the best. When have we ever fought against people we’ve armed and sacrificed military lives. .. I mean, besisides iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam.

You are delusional. ISIS and the Syrian jihadis were created, funded, and intellectually supported by the gulf states and the Saudis. This is not a coalition to defeat ISIS, its a coalition to ensure Sunni islam wind the moslem civil war and is always in power.

This IS the time. It ALWAYS the right time to bash the Saudis. Those throwbacks never have to give us a damned thing. They never have to change a single policy or behavior. And of all the nations of earth, that’s sickening that they are the first.
What have they done to earn this trip? Nothing. Freed slaves, nope. Allowed churches or synagogues? Nope. Held an election? Nope. Turned over the 9/11 planners? Nope. Stopped funding wahabbist mosques in America? Nope. Let all foreigners visit Mecca? Nope. Given women rights? Nope.

Saudi Arabia is a probably second only to North Korea in its invasive totalitarian and terror sponsoring behavior. And there we are again, acting like they are a good friend.

” the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves,”

Aliens. Right there in Genesis.

Can you picture a young Saudi male having paid his dowry finds on his wedding night that his new bride makes Helen Thomas look desirable?

No wonder there are so many homosexuals in Saudi Arabia.

I don’t believe she or the President should have gone to such an effed-up country because it gives SA legitimacy that it does not deserve.

The concert will be free and open to the public — as long as you have a penis. No women will be allowed to attend the event.

More of this stone-aged, binary view of gender. ;)

Misleading headline gives impression she was stopped at the door.

Sunday’s headline will let us know she’s banned from the priesthood.

Nor I.

Completely captured and sold out. Not so much IMO out of will as out of abject failure in staffing his admin.

Jivanka and everyone they brought in have to go.

That deal was made before they left. The Saudis announced that no dress restrictions would be placed on the Trump women. They announced that so there wouldn’t be shock when the Muslim World saw the photos. No veils like Hillary and Huma used to sport over there.

Things have changed.

The Saudis are in the front line against Iran. They’ll need stuff that works, and is compatible with our stuff.

“I mean, besides iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam.”

Yeah, I remember those three all using combloc weapons. Iraq had some Euroweenie stuff like Roland SAMs, and the French were building a nuclear reactor for Saddam until the Israelis knocked it out.

The Saudis use a mix of weaponry. Small arms are mostly German (HK) and American (M4). Heavier stuff is mostly US but some others. For aircraft, they like F-15s, Tornados and Typhoons. American helicopters and C-130s. American radar systems. They have PRC short- and medium-range ballistic missiles. They are working on nuclear weapons.

Yes, and that’s why they all have to go back. The sooner the better.
