Qatar has been our ally for decades.Centcom is there. I have been to centcom once on a 3-day pass. Do you think this country is being friends to both sides or do you think this country could eventually go under Iranian influence even though we have Central Command headquarters there? Hopefully, all of these F-15 Strike Eagles stay in Qatar and don't end up in Iran.

This is very confusing. I don't know period I just think you'll have to keep an eye on this country. I know we have Central Command located in Qatar.

LTC (Join to see) - We have had a presence there for a long time. The allegations that they are financing terror out the back door are disturbing. I guess if they buy our jets it's OK? Time will tell.

I think that if Cutter believes we are going to give them F15's that we can't simply turn off with an electronic signal that they aren't very bright.

You're never really off the hook once you try telling the US that the moisture on it's neck is just rain.

I for one don't believe in alliances, every nation and every person is looking out for their own self-interest. Money is very powerful and has it's own language. What's to say one of those allies don't cancel relations with us to help another power. I mean if it's in their interest then of course they would.
