Qatari Air Force fighters....

Are quite active this morning. Loads of takeoffs. My office is across the street from Doha Airport. Quite loud full afterburners. Not normal. I can see them out the window taking to the air.

I found them to be nice and to be very much interested in addressing the cultural divides between our people and theirs.

Thanks you for the reportage.

the ground' because the world knows what happened in Iraq. So, and Hillary is proud of this 'new way to fight wars', we use the Dictatorship of Bahrain's troops as 'proxies' and Qatar troops as 'proxies'. We even send our military to train with them.

It's a Global Army now.

So no surprise to learn that our Proxies are getting to join the fun.

So clever of them. The US and its Imperial Allies in Europe do the Air Cover, our Proxies will be on the ground. Because it's about regime change and backing the Extremists in Syria has taken too long. The Syrian people fought harder than they expected.

What a crime that no one can stop them.
