Groucho: “That’s a heck of a lot of turkey there. Are you going to have enough cranberry sauce?”
From my friends over in that area now, they say Qatar is still a proxy for Iran. FYI.
Get OUT of QaTAR ( pronounced KATAR!!) Get OUT!!

The Saudi government did not do 9/11. Bin Laden used Saudi al Qaeda members because he wanted to have Uncle Sam topple the principal obstacle to his objective of becoming Caliph of a new Islamic empire with a capital in Mecca - the Saudi Royals. The idea was that a US invasion of Saudi Arabia would unite the Muslim world behind him. When that failed, he was out of ideas, because even the paltry resources that he had dried up.
There are rumors that 2 Saudi princes who might have been collaborating with bin Laden ended up dying mysteriously after being recalled. One had a heart attack and another died of thirst in the desert. Again, not surprising. Palace intrigues are a staple of all dynasties. Richard III had his nephews killed. Ottoman caliphs killed all their brothers upon taking the throne. It’s possible the two Saudi princes did in fact help bin Laden, hoping to get a shot at the throne in the chaos of an American invasion.
lol best laugh of the day!
Very substantive post!
Bump!
All senior members of Qatar’s Al-Thani family and Erdogan himself are Muslim Brothers of decades standing. And yet, Foggy Bottom continues to play footsie with the treacherous Ikhwn al-Muslimun.
Thank you laura bush. I don’t believe a word of it.
$15B will fund a corrupt state maybe 2 months. The Qataris will learn the same lesson that the Chinese learned in Venezuela.
Money down a Rat Hole!
My guess is they are on a buying spree in a bargain-basement economy. Last I heard the Lira was at sixteen cents on the dollar. A week at a five star hotel for two was $200 US.
The problem with going there is that Turkey could erupt in civil war at any moment. And, don’t you just love democracies where the next leader, already chosen, is a relative of the present leader?
Erdogan said, “Democracy is like a bus. You ride it to the destination you want and then get off.”
Yep, it is our NATO “ally” Turkey actually allying further with Iran.
Time to expunge them from NATO.
Since Qatar's closely linked to Iran, and Iran, Turkey, and Russia are allied, this isn't a surprise.
