Question

Submitted by Tom Snyder, Jul 30, 2014 04:56

Why do we have a base there? Why do they allow it if they want to fund terrorist groups like Hamas who are more or less Anti-American as well as Anti-Israel? It seems very contradictory. On their side as much as ours.

 

Qatar and US weapons sale

Submitted by perplexed, Jul 21, 2014 14:49

Okay, if Qatar is associated with the Muslim brotherhood and has terror ties, why is the US selling them 11 Billion in weapons?

They are buying Patriot missiles and other items. Why do we also maintain a base in Qatar? Can't we find a gulf country without terror ties? But every time the US sells weapons to terror-linked states, the weapons end up being used against us or our allies. Though this may make cents, it doesn't make sense.
