2019-11-17
Whoops! Trump isn’t your father’s American president, guys. Good luck, now that this is out.
[Jpost] Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
’s regime had advance knowledge of Iran’s attacks on four ships in the Gulf of Oman in May and failed to warn the US, La Belle France and the United Kingdom, according to a Western intelligence report.


FoxNews.com first reported on Saturday about the eye-popping report and the implications for international security, since the vital waterway for trade connects the Strait of Hormuz to the Indian Ocean.

#2   In the news: "The transfer of the so-called US Air Force Combined Air and Space Operations Center from Al-Udeid Air Base in the Qatari desert to the Shaw Air Force Base amounts to a “dress rehearsal,” especially after the Iranians succeeded in penetrating air defenses and bombing the state-owned Saudi Aramco oil processing facilities at Abqaiq and Khurais using low-flying cruise missiles and drones.
Although the Washington Post pointed out that the US wants to gradually transfer command from Qatar to the US, some consider this move to be part of a gradual reduction of the US military presence in Qatar, at a time when the Pentagon has increased its deployments in Bahrain, the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

#1  IMO, eventually, USA will be cured of considering some Muslims to be its allies. The only question is how many Americans will die before it happens.
