A way to 'paper over' the differences between Qatar and the Saudis may well be found. Which given Qatar's long support for Islamic terrorism is highly unlikely to affect Qatar's financial and logistical support of it.

Our tolerance for this state of affairs is predicated upon the US military's assertion that we need that US naval base in Qatar. That predicate is based in the political decision to treat Islamic terrorism as primarily a matter for the police, rather than accurately assessing a nation's support for terrorism as an act of war.

Nothing will change the trajectory the West is on toward nuclear terrorist attacks until the premises we base our policies upon change. Millions are going to die as the result of these policies and the surviving advocates of these suicidal policies will once again escape accountability.

What verbal diarrhea is this? All I can tell is that you have a thesaurus and like words beginning with the letter 'a'.

[Geoffrey Britain]

Verbal diarrhea? A fine example of reasoned rebuttal... not. No thesaurus needed, simply a classical education back in the 60's. You remember, History courses, Political Science, Logic 101? Or was that way before your time? After they dropped education and switched to Indoctrination 101?

Perhaps you'd be happier back on Twitter, where your natural crudity can substitute for reasoned discourse?

I know it is a day late, but think there is a typo.

"In 2014(not 2004), I reported several times about a major Mideast realignment, with Israel plus Egypt plus Saudi Arabia on one side, and Qatar plus Hamas plus Turkey on the other side. In March of that year there was an extremely bitter split among GCC members."

Thanks for the correction.
