Pensacola, FL - The Saudi gunman who killed three people at the Pensacola naval base had apparently gone on Twitter shortly before the shooting to blast US support of Israel and accuse America of being anti-Muslim, a US official said Sunday as the FBI confirmed it is operating on the assumption the attack was an act of terrorism.
Investigators are also trying to establish whether the killer, identified as 2nd Lt. Mohammed Alshamrani, 21, of the Royal Saudi Air Force, acted alone.
Alshamrani, who was killed in the attack at a classroom building Friday, was undergoing flight training at Pensacola, where members of foreign militaries routinely receive instruction.

We're for dang sure are getting more and more anti-Muslim day-by-day, or rather murder-by-murder. That W line of 'religion of peace' is patently becoming more idiotically naive everyday.

The FBI is just way to busy participating in a Coup D'tat to be bothered with little things like terrorism

Caution: If the FBI geniuses "presume" that it was, it probably wasn't.

The majority of L-Dotters made that call Friday. But I'm still glad the FBI finally came to that conclusion, even if it is adverse to political correctness.

A ten year old could have figured that out! Twitter account written by him declaring his anger at the US and Israel was the first clue. Saudis filming the attack should eliminate any question of whether he acted alone.
God, just how stupid are these people? I truly believe it is long past time to eliminate the FBI. If it took them this long to figure it out, they're absolutely worthless. Add in all of the terrorist attacks, 9/11, Boston Marathon, California workplace shooting, gay nightclub in Florida, and the high school shooting in Florida among others, and they have well established their worthlessness. Add in the coup against our duly elected President despite all their interference and it becomes obvious.
Scary part is I'm law enforcement and I'm saying this about the FBI. Never thought I would live to see the day...

I ask again, why are we even letting muslims into this country, let alone putting them on our bases for 'training purposes' when we KNOW what they all want in the end?

Anyone know if any of those muslim cadets at West Point have graduated yet? I'm sure there's some at thNaval Academy and Air Force Academy also. Over the long haul things seem rather bleak and hopeless to me.

The FBI had no choice but to call that Islamist terrorist attack an act of terrorism and go from there. For if the FBI leadership in the field at Pensacola had failed to do that, and instead mumbled something politically correct about workplace violence like was done back during the Obama era, everyone in the USA with any common sense would have called the FBI out as being a politicized cabal of morons.

Which Saudi honcho or prince recommended him and his fellows to be the ones getting the training? Did the embedded Barry employees automatically give them visas since muzzies are so special? Or was it the military replacements Barry wholesale embedded? Was the FBI or DOJ involved? How come they didn't know under their vaulted Patriot Act spying on foreigners? Oh, wait, that act only applies to U.S. citizens. My bad.

Yeah, #10, but the only reason they would be called out is because they ARE a politicized bunch of morons.

It is time for President Trump to remind the military they are first and foremost warriors. He should issue orders that every officer carry his/her sidearm at all times and demonstrate monthly proficiency in its use. This order should extend to up to and include the Joint Chiefs of Staff. No soft targets. No excuses.

If the US is anti-Muslim, how did he get here? And get a hunting license? And a Glock?
Who gave him 3 hots and a cot?
Oh, well. He has his 72 houris now.
Or not. The fire is not quenched where he is.
And no Sharia court to appeal to.

Even when they get it right they get it wrong. On one hand for once they are not ignoring the obvious. On the other hand I don't want my FBI assuming anything. I want them to be objective fact based investigators.
Just like I want Joe Biden investigated to determine if what he bragged about doing he actually did.

Saudis (and other heads o' rags) were there when I was in flight school. "Allah willed it" was their excuse for screwing up maneuvers or failing ground tests (graded on a curve where typically a 96 out of 100 was a fail but that was in 1980). Instructors hated them for students because of the "Allah willed it" nonsense. It didn't work but even then there was pressure to get them through. And vetting? Really? Now? Come on. Can you say CAIR? THERE IS NO VETTING!!! If you think judges won't stop people from terrorist countries from entering the US, do you think the Navy would be allowed to vet someone from Saudi Arabia? Please. Like Ft Hood, it's MUCH worse now. See something, say something means your career is over for being an Islamophobe. You folks have NO IDEA how bad things are. Remember the Soviet Union and it's political officers? Multiply that by a few dozen in each command and you're close and they're mostly JAGS. And, have you seen the latest reports where EVERY MSM news story talks about the P-Cola Muslims fearing a backlash? Gosh, what a surprise that they're the ones who people might suspect but you better not do it. Religion of Peace my ass.Yeah, after landing next to and walking through the Marine barracks blown up ruins in Beirut every day for several months, you tend to get a little ticked about coddling these Muslims. Thought W was going after them but boy was I wrong because State and Marxists (especially the ones in the GOP) stopped Tommy Franks from victory so that we can now enjoy a few elected Muslim Marxists tell us that "someone in Pensacola did something."

Those who ignore history are condemned to repeat it. There is 1400 years of it here. How blind can you be?

FTA - "... as the FBI confirmed it is operating on the assumption the attack was an act of terrorism." FBI, what else do you need to know so you can remove the "it is operating on the assumption" piece?

It is insane that military bases are gun free zones. What better place to attack the American infidels than a place where American infidels are being trained in a location where they can not defend themselves? Yes, arm the officers.

This is part of the legacy of the Obama administration where CAIR was allowed to edit documents and regulations concerning Islamic terrorism. The result was that anybody that suggest that any Moslem might be a threat was labeled a bigot.

Those were Hannity's "rank and file" operating down there, although they may have had the political correctness forced on them from above and were previously not allowed to state the obvious.
People on domestic military bases are not armed due to the fear of firearms accidents. So they pay non-military trained civilian security guards to perform those duties. I've made a lot of money protecting military bases but I thought it was a stupid policy, as demonstrated at Fort Hood. Only the government...

Another sad entry into the book of political correctness! The military is directed by politicians to accommodate these terrorists, who are not really our allies, so that we can sell them military equipment. We must not profile people, because it might interfere with crooked politics and their money!

I'm not the sharpest horse shoe nail in the saddlebag but let me tell the Federal Bureau of Investigation that was no Amish fighter pilot that did the attack. It seems someone didn't learn a thing from 9-11-01. That religion of peace is pure daydreaming it's a continual war on terror. You bet we should all be anti-Muslim when every day you hear 'death to America' coming from the middle East. Those people of that cult want to kill us why should we train them to do it is beyond me. You know darn well that a few of them in US fighter planes could reek havoc on an American city and we train them. How stupid and dumb is that?

Every one of these "cadets" needs to be confined to quarters - separately - and interrogated. Anybody suspicious goes to Gitmo. If any are clean, they get sent home with a billion-dollar hotel bill.
Then Trump should CANCEL this training program. The clowns can learn to fly at home - if Allah wills it.

The apology from the Saudi king will arrive any day now.
Given Trump's record of not suffering fools, I expect that this pilot training program has a short lifespan going forward. Sell them the jet fighters with a good instruction book and the second half printed in Arabic, like you get with your toaster. Rotsa ruck, Achmed.

It seems impossible that a young radicalized Saudi Arabian Muslim could fail the vetting process as he has been here for a while in training. Either the FBI, or or Intel agencies failed badly (again), or they just turned their collectives backs to the danger for some other diabolical purpose.
