Fake Story About Qatar Having a Base on US Soil

This is an update on yet another mainstream media article that was inaccurate.

Sentinel reported a mainstream media article (CNN) that stated Qatar would have a base on US soil, in Idaho. It was a mostly fake story as it often is with the mainstream.

Vice President JD Vance saw the misreporting and checked with Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth.

He told Maria Bartiromo the following on her Fox show:

“This is largely a fake story… We continue to have, with countries that we work with. We have relationships where sometimes their pilots work on our on our bases, sometimes that we train together, sometimes we work together in other ways. The reporting that somehow there is going to be a Qatari base on United States soil. That’s just not true. We are continuing to work with a number of our Arabs or Arab friends to ensure that we are able to enforce this peace, but we’re not going to let a foreign country have an actual base on American soil. …”

Original Fake Story from October 11
US to Train Qatari Pilots Out of Mountain Home Air Force Base

The U.S. military is moving forward with plans to build a dedicated facility in Idaho to train pilots from Qatar, an important U.S. ally in the Middle East, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Friday.

Hegseth, who made the announcement during a visit by Qatar’s defense minister, said the facility to be built at the Mountain Home Air Force Base, at Qatar expense, would “host a contingent of Qatari F-15s and pilots to enhance our combined training, increase the lethality, interoperability.”

The arrangement is not unusual. Pentagon officials noted that similar facilities have been set up for other allies for decades, and the Idaho base already hosts a fighter squadron from Singapore.

Influencer Laura Loomer is unhappy.

“No foreign country should have a military base on US soil. Especially Islamic countries,” Loomer wrote in one of several social media posts just hours after Hegseth’s announcement.

The US does share bases with Islamists as in Iraq. Hopefully, Qatar is giving up its terrorist ways. Perhaps Trump is looking for them to sign The Abraham Accords.

The new facility will provide Qatar with strategic flexibility to operate and sustain their advanced fighter aircraft, fostering stronger defense partnerships and enhancing joint operational capabilities.

President Trump is looking for the Middle East to be rebuilt as more prosperous and peace loving.

To be fair, Qatar has worked well with the US lately. However, they have funded and provided other support to Hamas and The Muslim Brotherhood, which needs to be banned because they are terrorists. The UAE and Saudi Arabia have already designated them a terror organization.

President Trump thinks out of the box and he is usually right.

This wasn’t erroneous reporting. Hegseth can’t get his message across clearly. Blame lies squarely with that knucklehead.

DON’T FORGET: America shares several Air Force and Navy bases and facilities with the Hostile, Anti-American, Radical EXTREMIST FAR LEFT Muslim caliphate of Britainistan…bases that have been shared since the end of WW2, when America saved their now-socialist/fascist butts.

If military cooperation with Qatar is bad, then the huge military support we give Israel is also bad. In the case of Qatar, I am sure they pay for whatever they get from us. Foreign entanglements should be minimized.

The USA avoiding military conflict is great. The USA sealing the border is great. The peace deal is great.
