US plan to sell cluster bombs to Saudi Arabia draws condemnation...

39. I know the Saudis have a wealth of equipment and planes of a modern Air Force

However I wonder how well trained their pilots are in combat. They certainly have little experience there. Their ground crews have never been challenged by the demand of the rapid turnaround and maintenance in a maximum flying environment. They will probably have to use thousands of "Contractors" to maintain their assets if and when combat is joined.

Who will aerially refuel their planes if they really decide to go on this adventure ?

What system of search and rescue do the Saudis have if some of their planes are shot down.

What about the morale of the pilots? How do they whip up these actors to kill fellow Muslims and children when they dispense CBUs ?

Most importantly, Syria is physically right next to Israel and what are the consequences of this whole adventure spiraling out of control ?

And by the way thank you for your comments they were very thought provoking, so much unlike what I often see here these days which passes for intelligent discourse.
