Subject: Re: Qatar air force base on American soil
I would suspect that this is part of the national security realignment that Trump has been pitching to the Middle East in an effort to get his Peace Prize. Dump Hamas, take some oversight role in Gaza...and the U.S. will provide security and will stop trying to force you to change your domestic political structure. Since Trump can't get a treaty through the Senate, creating some irreversible de facto commitments is the best way he can backstop that kind of pledge.

Interesting. But is this really Trump's plan? Or others in his administration.
