The Saudi military Intelligence reportedly had arrested two senior F-16 pilots whom turned down their missions in late October, expressing their utmost resentment toward their country’s alliance with the United States against to what they see as “innocent and defenseless Iraqi civilians” and accusing the Saudi regime to be too docile to White House “vicious” whims.
White House officials and CIA had informed the Saudis that their American-trained pilots are in fact jettisoning their bombs and ammunitions over inconsequential or totally unpopulated areas and then returning to their bases in K.S.A.
A growing number of Saudis including high-ranking army officers strongly believe their regime is using ISIS as a precious bargain chip to secure its grip on war-ravaged Middle-East.
The crisis of disobedient Saudi officers descended into a real nightmare when the two pilots somehow managed to access to their facebookaccounts and post diatribes and undermine the Saudi regime’s double-track policy regarding the U.S.-led campaign against the ISIS terrorists in battle-scarred Iraq and Syria.
Amid U.S. assiduous efforts to form a wide-range anti-ISIS campaign, many oil-rich Arab kingdoms including Saudi Arabia, a longtime White House ally, attempted to convince Obama administration that it will serve America’s best interests in Middle-East to restore the power to former ruling Iraqi Ba’ath Party of notorious Saddam Hussein.
The two Saudi pilots purportedly are being held incommunicado for weeks without being indicted or charged , waiting to be tried in military court.
