Hell, we'll never know, all our leaders have done since 9/11 is bow to them and sell them weapons. Sad to think our largest arms deals go to the birth place of Islam. They can have Autos, rockets, missles, bombs.... and we can't have a ****ing bumpstockNot saying this would have been the right thing to do, but. . .
I wonder if the US could have carpet bombed Saudi Arabia after 9/11 without unacceptable backlash. Saudi Arabia is the top exporter of terrorism in the world. Pakistan is probably number two. Not sure how these are our allies. Nukes or sweet crude can make up for a lot of shortcomings.
