#1 Wow, I guess Qatar really wants our bases in their country bad... maybe we can get them to alter al-jazeera's editorial slant...

#2 I love this shit. The dictators and monarchs and assholes running Arab countries are playing PR games - and the bought and paid for press ("We must maintain our access!") is complicit. These meetings and confabs are mere window dressing. They only flail about in their attempts to come up with disingenuous "logic" for why they should not give up control and the opportunity fate has handed them to loot the resources of their home countries - there's certainly no shortage of motivation or effort to hang on.

"diverging interests" and "homegrown" - Riiiiiggghhhtttt!

All Arab "states" are black comedy.
