Everyone should keep in mind that if these proposals go through, we do now have a quasi-permanent military base in Qatar that is fairly new.

On the European front, those forward deployed troops were not an advantage when we went into Afghanistan and Iraq. Having a base of operations in Qatar is great, but we really need are about a hundred more C-17s so that we can get our equipment, and troops, anywhere we need.
