President Trump's Muslim ban, turned travel ban for legality, excluded Saudi Arabia -- though there had been no terror attacks on U.S. soil by nationals of the countries on the ban list and thousands of U.S. citizens died in NYC at the hands of 15 Saudis in 2001.
I think we both commented here that it reeked of politically and financially motivated shortsightedness back when the ban was implemented, or something to that effect.
Anyway, it's being reported that the U.S.-trained Saudi who killed and injured a dozen people at Pensacola naval base a couple of days back had hosted a party the night before where he and fellow Saudi trainees in Florida had watched videos of mass shootings.
At least one of them taped the mass shooting, 10 are being held at the naval base, and the FBI is searching for several others.
The manifesto which the shooter reportedly posted quotes Saudi terrorist Osama bin Landen.
