Bentleys For Saudi Fighter Pilots

[Saif al-Arab]

Then dont drag us into your petty quarrels, and gtfo PDF if you are offended. Go to saudi millionaire forms where praising the king earns you 100,000 $ a day.

I have not asked you for anything nor 99,9% of all the 450 million Arabs. Just quit spreading bullshit on this section of the forum which usually is free of trolls. This news is not even authentic nor does it concern you.

Indeed the GCC is rich and will remain rich and you along with other trolls here can cry all day for all we care while your countries are in misery.

Its a rich man's world.

I have not asked you for anything nor 99,9% of all the 450 million Arabs. Just quit spreading bullshit on this section of the forum which usually is free of trolls. This news is not even authentic nor does it concern you.

Real world news disagrees with your assessment regarding military help from us.

Not everyone who punchers your ego is a troll, learn to step out of your temporary lala land.

And if the news is on PDF, it does concern me. Nothing you can do, spoiled kid.

Indeed the GCC is rich and will remain rich and you along with other trolls here can cry all day for all we care while your countries are in misery.

We'll see how long your riches last. Every thing has a peak and fall. You might still be around when I would be able to quote your "couldn't care much about your misery" dialogue back to you.
Meanwhile squander while you can.

I cant thank enough to our joke of a parliament for not falling into their trap.

Your GCC buddies that cant ever unite for once can lay their bodies to make way for their kings. We all know how skilled GCC fighting force is.

Expensive Bentleys is very short term, next few years it will be old car and careless but killing other people in Yemen or overseas is very long term, people wouldn't forget it easily.

Pakistan Troops shouldn't deploy there in Saudi to protect Holy Bentleys cars.

 

[ArsalanKhan21]

Keep dreaming along with the other clowns on PDF and worry about your own country.

Then dont drag us into your petty quarrels, and gtfo PDF if you are offended. Go to saudi millionaire forms where praising the king earns you 100,000 $ a day.

The choices for countries are:

1. Money but not smart
2. Smart but no money
3. Money and smart
4. No money and not smart
5. Don't know

The Saudi prince who offered Bentleys to bombers - BBC News

The Saudi prince who offered Bentleys to bombers

Pilots of Saudi planes like these were offered luxury cars by a wealthy prince
A wealthy Saudi royal attracted criticism on social media after he apparently offered luxury cars to fighter pilots participating in a bombing campaign in Yemen.

Earlier this week Saudi Arabia announced the end of the first phase of its military campaign in Yemen. And in a celebratory gesture Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, one of the country's richest men and a member of the Saudi royal family, tweeted to his 3m followers on Twitter: "In appreciation of their role in this operation, I'm honoured to offer 100 Bentley cars to the 100 Saudi [fighter] pilots".

The offer immediately split opinion. More than 28,000 people shared his post and over 5,000 liked it. The prince was hailed for his "generosity" and several Saudiscommented that the pilots deserved luxury automobiles - and much more - for their military service.

But many outside Saudi Arabia, particularly in Yemen, found his offer outright offensive - and so an online backlash began. "100 Bentley cars to 100 pilots who bombed Yemen. Not single ambulance to its hospitals they devastated" remarked one Yemenion Twitter.

Another Yemeni who had previously shared photos showing the destruction of his home following a Saudi air strike tweeted: "Prince Al Waleed gave 100 Bentleys to Saudi pilots. I got my apartment blown up. Yet I bet my spirits are higher than all those pilots."

Others pointed to the disparity between people's lives in Yemen, one of the world's poorest countries, and those who live in relatively rich Saudi Arabia. "So that's what it's all about, what was it 100 or 200 lives for a Bentley, that's how cheap human life is," a Jordanian tweeted.

The original tweet offering the gifts has now been deleted, although screen grabs of it are still circulating online. Some Saudi media are now reporting that the prince's Twitter account was hacked. But there was no mention of any hacking on his Twitter feed - and he did not respond to Trending's request for comment.

Last year the prince, who's renowned for his lavish lifestyle and ostentatious gift-giving, offered a local football team 25 cars after they won the Saudi championship, a move that touched off a debate in Saudi about who should be offered gifts and who shouldn't.

Bombing for Bentleys in Yemen?

Bombing for Bentleys in Yemen?

Saudi prince pledged cars to pilots involved in Yemen air campaign via a now-deleted Tweet.

The fighter pilots who flew in the Saudi-led Operation Decisive Storm campaign against Iran-backed rebels in Yemen were apparently promised new Bentleys by the kingdom's Prince Alaweed bin Talal, one of the richest men on Earth.

In a tweet he posted Tuesday (and subsequently deleted), the prince said, "I congratulate our wise leaders on the victory of Operation Decisive Storm and the beginning of Operation Restoring Hope. To recognize the one hundred participating Saudi pilots I am pleased to present them with 100 Bentley cars."


International Business Times posted a screen capture of the now-vanquished tweet:

The announcement was, predictably, met with immediate criticism, as many pointed out that the last month of fighting in Yemen has resulted in large numbers of civilian casualties.

Per IBT, the World Health Organization estimates that over that time period, around one thousand people have been killed and almost 3500 have been wounded.

Not all the blowback was framed in outrage, however. For example, this Yemeni man maintained a sense of gallows humor about it all, despite the gravity of the situation:

Prince Alaweed apparently likes gifting Bentleys to people. He reportedly handed out 25 of the cars to a Saudi soccer team last year, too.

The price of Bentley cars starts at $180,000(Reuters)

A billionaire Saudi Arabian prince promised to give each of the 100 fighter pilots that took part in Riyadh's latest air strikes in Yemen a brand new Bentley.

Prince Alaweed bin Talal - who owns one of Saudi Arabia's largest companies, Kingdom Holdings, and owns a $300m stake in Twitter - made his promise on social media but has since deleted the Tweet.

"I congratulate our wise leaders on the victory of Operation Decisive Storm and the beginning of Operation Restoring Hope," bin Talal appeared to tweet Tuesday, following the announcement of a new phase in the Saudi-led campaign in Yemen.

"To recognise the one hundred participating Saudi pilots I am pleased to present them with 100 Bentley cars," he said.

Prince Alaweed bin Talal's Tweet has since been deleted
But his pledge has been met with anger by Twitter users, and not just by Yemenis that have seen their homes destroyed and family members killed during three weeks of bombing during the Saudi-led Operation Decisive Storm - which officially ended last night.

At least 944 people have been killed and 3,487 wounded over the past four weeks of violence in Yemen, the World Health Organisation said on Tuesday.

Essam Alzamil, a Saudi blogger wrote in his Twitter account: "Am I right to think giving this type of gift is [a] sort of disregard to what [the] army does in Yemen".

هل شعوري منطقي والا مبالغ فيه. لما أشعر أن إهداء الطيارين سيارات فارهة فيه نوع من الإسفاف لما يقومون به؟

— عصام الزامل (@essamz) April 21, 2015
Bin Talal, 60, is the grandson of Saudi Arabia's founder Ibn Saud and one of the richest men ion the world, with a fortune estimated at around $23 billion and investments in Apple, Time Warner and Citigroup.

This is not the first time the prince has used the promise of luxury cars to reward Saudi citizens. In 2014, bin Talal gifted 25 cars, believed to be Bentleys, to members of a Saudi soccer club after their victory in a league competition.

This is so perverted!

Giving money to families of martyrs is one thing, giving Bentleys to those who have killed hundreds of civilians, including many women and children is another thing. It's like giving Ferraris to those Israeli pilots who bombed Gaza.

I wish if it was as simple as you have tried to put it. Heroes of one nation maybe the criminals in the eyes of their opponents, and victims of one nation maybe the combatants in the view of their attackers. Iran must stop from meddling in the affairs of Yemen and similarly KSA must stop poking its nose in other's matters. KSA has all the right to stop Houthis from growing into a power that would wreak havoc on the Saudi-Yemeni borders. Just look how Iranis react (and justifiably so) when someone from Pakistani Balochistan intrude in Iran and try to carry out terrorist activities. Similarly KSA reserves the right to protect her borders. Saudis (and any other country for that matter) have all the right to reward their pilots as they see fit for they are using their own money not someone else's. We should probably get over this and move on.

Protect their borders from what? Ho many times did Houthis attacked Saudis over the border?
Comparing Houthis to those terrorists in Baluchestan is too naive of you, or maybe very biased. Houthis had zero dangers for Saudi border because they never intended to intrude over the border and there is no proof to demonstrate it.

What are the guarantees that they never will? National security is something alive nations are always paranoid about, and they should be. We Pakistanis have first hand experienced this (infiltration of Taliban terrorists and Baloch separatists from Afghanistan) and therefore can understand Saudi's concerns. Certain regional powers on the behest of international powers are hellbent on destabilizing the gulf region and we have to stop them. Tens of thousands of Pakistanis call Gulf their home and send precious foreign exchange that amounts millions of dollars. We have our stakes in Gulf and therefore Gulf's security concerns us. It is not about bias or anything else, it is business.

Back in 2009 the houthis infiltrated and took over several border villages in jazan and najran province.

The Saudis deployed their F-15s and again had to call the Pakistan Army which responded.

However it has been 6 years since then and I reckon houthis have smartened up...they won't be making the same mistake twice.
