Also remember Saudis financed 9-11.
Reportedly he showed videos of mass shootings.

Those in attendance included civilians and fellow military in the US for training. It is unknown if all invitees were Saudis.

I cannot imagine how any attendee would find such videos to be appropriate. Does not appear a single attendee reported this to the base or LE- See something. Say something.

Sure would be easier to discontinue training foreign militaries. I DK if most countries pay the US and if so, how much. DoD could answer this.

That a country is an ally, does not mean all of their military is, despite the sending country certifies they send the best of the best.

As much as everything was Obama’s fault, then Bush, then Clinton....

Partisans be partisan.

You made an obvious connection I missed.

Buy US war toys from the military industrial complex and the US will train your best and brightest.

Just like when the Muslim who chain migrated here ran over SIX people in New York City there was hardly any coverage, when one right wing radical ran over one person in Charlottesville its still being obsessed over today.

Unlike Iran, I don't think the actual government of Saudi Arabia hates America but they do need to do a better job vetting their own military personnel since they've been infiltrated by jihadists several times.
Yes it would be, it would be a constant large headline. Also, they would throw in a blame for Trump on it.

Trump will justify the killings the same way he overlooked the slaughter of Khashoggi by the Saudi's.

Want to murder an American? Just stuff a few bucks in Trump's pocket and you are go to go.

But how many were from countries practicing one of the most radical, western-hating versions of Islam? A country where journalists are murdered for mere words?

Who paid Obama for those 4 deaths in Benghazi where we were smuggling arms ?

Poor broke Obama's did just buy a 12 Million $$ Estate on Marthas Vineyard. Those deaths must have paid well.

It seems the FBI still can't find its arse with both hands and a flashlight. At least it wasn't the deep state and was foreign terrorists.
