get so all fired up about something that is obviously misconstrued...on purpose.

CBD, you are such a joke, my dear...but seriously, i will be more than happy to let my friends in the military know to leave your and yours alone in the case of anything that might warrant their assistance. I seriously doubt that you are Qatari tho...I konw too many and altho they might have comments on the US, none of them have ever been so arrogant and adamant as you.

I never said the US hasn't done anything wrong, either past or present, BUT by at the same time, I AM saying that those countries that are now screaming that the US is the cause of all the world's problems, need to look at their own history and take some of the blame for their own actions. Most stories have 2 sides to them, not just one.

I am 100% against the war in Iraq as I believe we went into it with the wrong intentions. I do however support my troops because they are just doing what they are ordered to do as any military personnel does. If we wanted to attack a country that was threatening us with weapons of mass destruction, we should have attacked korea, who SAID they were going to attack us...

Popcorn, any suggestions as to HOW Obama can tether Israel in? I'd personally prefer to cut ties with them permanently.

verisimilitude - the base was invited to be built here and amid lots of negotiations finally arrived...and its to the mutual benefit of both the US and Qatar. Some folks know a bit more about things like that than others...I'll leave it at that.
