Qatar Buys U.S. F-15s Days After Trump Says Country Funds Terror

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/qatar-buys-12b-u-s-jets-days-after-trump-says-n772691


Qatar said Wednesday it has signed a $12 billion deal to buy F-15 fighter jets from the United States — just days after President Donald Trump accused the country (http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-calls-qatar-cease-funding-terror-n770476) of being a "high-level" sponsor of terrorism.

The announcement came after the country's defense minister met with Defense Secretary Jim Mattis in Washington.


News of the sale comes amid a diplomatic crisis. Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates cut diplomatic and transport ties (http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/u-s-ambassador-qatar-steps-down-n771551) with Qatar last week and accused it of supporting terrorism and regional unrest (http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/qatar-hires-former-u-s-attorney-general-ashcroft-evaluate-counterterrorism-n770711).

According to Trump, Qatar has a "high-level funding" of terrorism. It's just like him to arm them up. Demagogues need enemies.

We know Saudi Arabia is a State Sponsor of terrorism but Obama sold billions worth of arms to them.

Now Qatar is suddenly a problem?

Please...

[Bo-4]

Maybe if Mueller kisses Trump's ass, he'll turn over 10 years of complete tax returns?

Ya never know!

:D

Please...We know Bush invaded Iraq for attacking us on 9/11 ... yes ?

[Cletus]

We know Bush invaded Iraq for attacking us on 9/11 ... yes ?

No. In fact, I would love to see you try to post a quote from the President in which he accuses Iraq of being involved in the planning and/or execution of the attacks on this nation on 09/11/2001.

You should make it a project and devote all your time to it until you accomplish your mission.

[Private Pickle]

We know Bush invaded Iraq for attacking us on 9/11 ... yes ?

You might know that... I don't... And Bush never said that...

Nice deflection BTW.

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump called on Qatar (http://edition.cnn.com/2017/06/07/middleeast/qatar-crisis-analysis/index.html) to stop funding terrorism, claiming credit for and endorsing the decision of Gulf nations to ostracize their neighbor, even as US Cabinet officials said their blockade is hurting the campaign against ISIS.

"We had a decision to make," Trump said, describing conversations with Saudi Arabia and other Gulf countries. "Do we take the easy road or do we finally take a hard but necessary action? We have to stop the funding of terrorism.

President Trump in Saudi Arabia on Saturday signed a nearly $110 billion arms deal to help the Persian Gulf ally with its military-defense system.
"That was a tremendous day," Trump said after signing the deal with Saudi leader King Salman. "Tremendous investments in the United States. Hundreds of billions of dollars of investments into the United States and jobs, jobs, jobs."

So why complain about Qatar?

[texan]

This is part of the Shit show that makes many scratch their heads. It really doesn't matter, but why?

[del]

So why complain about Qatar?
ask the idiot in chief, s0n, he's the one complaining that they're terrorists, not me.

if i thought they were terrorists, i wouldn't sell them $12BB worth of fighter planes, even if vlad insisted.

but an idiot would.

thanks again

This is part of the $#@! show that makes many scratch their heads. It really doesn't matter, but why?When a president has to use his wifes' make-up to cover-up the bags underneath his eyes every morning ... looking like something that crawled out of the wax museum ...


Well, you should worry.

But the previous president sold to terrorists...the current one does too... Nothing to see here...

[Ethereal]

Qatar are definitely supporters of terrorism. And Trump is definitely an idiot. But Democrats have exhausted any semblance of credibility they may have had with their anti-Russian witch hunt, so when they stumble upon a valid criticism every couple of months, nobody really listens or cares because they just assume it's more bitter whining from mindless partisans.

Bingo, all accounts

Cry wolf syndrome, all credibility lost.

I don't even know what this means and no it wouldn't make me worry.

Random.

I don't think anyone is accusing Trump of being consistent. He flip flops.

[jimmyz]

Since when did facts on the ground stop our military industrial complex machine form churning out sales and profits... ever? Sell to Qatar today. Qatar's enemies will buy more tomorrow. It's the American way.

[Beevee]

Please...

You were quite happy with Obama's arm sales then?

[Private Pickle]

The US has been the world's largest arms dealer since WWII. Obama did nothing different than every other president since. Am I happy about it? I'm indifferent.

Was it ok when the previous president did it?

There are literally dozens of reasons why it was done and has been done for decades. Some ok some not.

[Dr. Who]

I suppose the only difference is the fact that Trump was condemning them as sponsors of terrorism in one breath and selling them weaponized aircraft in the next. He has a problem with consistency. He believes in using hyperbole to sell himself (see Art of the Deal), but with so many balls in the air, I think he's forgetting prior statements.

Yet SA is a known sponsor of terrorism and the entire Western world sells them arms. Is it ok as long as it's hush hush?

Some one say fast and furious? Amazing how that went away! Right?

So Obama also sold them weapons and didn't condemn them when they sponsored terrorism? And all without a word of this from you....unless you can show me a post from Dr. Who back on the day being critical of Obama for such sales......

.......no.....?

Didn't think so. Gamesmanship will be called out....and it's getting called out here.

[Ransom]

Can you answer your own question....and then return on these forums to show us your outrage when Obama did in fact do it?

oops

[Crepitus]

Would you like to answer the question or just continue dodging?

[Ransom]

The answer is yes. You and Dr. Who are engaged in blatant political gamesmanship here.

Nice dodge. You can't ever answer anything. At least not honestly.

[Crepitus]

Another dodge from ransom. Anybody surprised? No? Me neither.
