🇺🇸 🇬🇧 🇶🇦 US, UK affirm long-haul stay in Qatar’s military base

The US and British military say they are committed to staying at the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. This facility has proved to be crucial in the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS). Its strategic location also makes it vital for missions in the Middle East and Asia.

Al Jazeera's Mahmoud Alken reports from Al Udeid.

Genius strategy. Build a first-world "home" and rent your city's most rabid dog. Your neighbors will not try to invade you.

Lucky for them they possess the greatest military power based on their soil, otherwise the outcome of the recent blockade could have been another.

Ask the US and UK military to LEAVE the Middle East once and for all !
