Qatar AFB…in Idaho.

US says Qatar to build air force facility in Idaho - BBC News

The facility in Idaho will be used to train Qatari pilots to fly F-15 fighter jets, the US defence secretary says.

Seems like a bad idea to me. I’m sure someone will be along shortly to tell me why a foreign national having an air force base here is great for us.

Discuss!

Mountain Home AFB will allow Qatar to construct a building there for the use of pilots from Qatar training there.

 

[Mr Natural]

Great! Just what we need. Crazy ass Muslims flying fighter jets on our own land.

How long before one of those psychos flies one of those jets into a building filled with people?

The U.S. has been training foreign pilots since biplanes. Don't y'all lefties have anything substantial to say?

Did they get their own base?

Do they own US soil too?

No.

 

[Rogue AI]

the reality is that Biden restricted border entry policies.

Biden restricted nothing. You liars are simply pathetic.

~~~~~~>
No! they just built a building, primarily barracks to house Qatari pilots in training.
Mountain Home AFB still belongs to and is operated by the U.S Gov't and the USAF.

You called this “fake news”

Did you notice that it is from tRump.com?

 

[Andrew_Jackson_FTW]

Well, the F15s they are learning to fly at their new base in Idaho can be used to attack Israel. I’m sure you guys are all for that;

Didn’t we learn anything from 9/11

Haha you ready for your next glass of wine Candy ?

 

[Andrew_Jackson_FTW]

Great! Just what we need. Crazy ass Muslims flying fighter jets on our own land.

Haha there is that diversity and multiculturalism

 

[DigitalDrifter]

Give Trump a free plane and you get all kinds of perks, huh?

As predicted, Trumplings scurry to run interference.

"the agreement with Qatar has been in the works for years."

[DigitalDrifter]

I'm against this, but from what I have been reading, this is nothing new.

"Similar training agreements have faced criticism in the past. In 2019, a Saudi Air Force officer training at the Pensacola Naval Air Station in Florida killed three U.S. service members and wounded several others in a mass shooting. After investigating, the U.S. sent home 21 Saudi military students after investigators said they had expressed jihadist or anti-American sentiments on social media or had “contact with child pornography” online."

USS liberty attack though. And Jonathan Pollard, the Jewish spy spying for israel on American soil.

It’s not new. Bottom line both Israel and Qatar are allies. There are good people in both governments. Both have been supplied with highly sophisticated US military technology. The US politicians need to stand up to the problematic people in both governments which clearly there’s way more of that from Israel. I mean you look at how their administration has openly defined Trump so many times. Qatar it’s not doing that again. They were asked by Israel to house Hamas for negotiations.

The original poster candycorn just like Dr. Phosphorous and bdtex are the sorts of people who scream Nazi at anyone they don’t like. They have no proof of it but they call people Nazis. They claim to be for multiculturalism and diversity yet specifically candy corn openly has said bigoted things about Muslims. bdtex and Dr. Phosphorous are the quiet people too cowardly or too embarrassed by their neutral or pro Israel views to talk about the Israel/Palestine issue or Qatar.

Yeah, so is Saudi Arabia......imbecile. Remember where 15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers came from??

The U.S. military has been training foreign pilots in this country for years.....primarily for NATO allies.

My biggest concern about this is you cannot trust people from Qatar....just like you can't trust people from Saudi Arabia. We are setting ourselves up for another potential 9/11.

 

[candycorn]

They are going to be on an existing base. Do you not even read your own articles? This is just more disingenuous liberal nonsense.

You seriously have the gall to complain about Clinton era visas after four years of Biden's open borders? Wow.

I quoted the article twice where they were building a facility.

 

[candycorn]

Which guys are for it? Guarantee you millions of conservatives are NOT for this.

lol…sure

 

[candycorn]

"But the facility being built at the Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho isn't a separate base at all — it is a group of buildings that will be built to handle training and maintenance for Qatari troops — and the agreement with Qatar has been in the works for years.

“What we expect is it to be squadron operations and hangars for the F-15QA, because that's the Qatari version of the jet that they bought through foreign military sales,” Air Force spokesperson Ann Stefanek said. “It is definitely still a U.S. Air Force base.”

In fact, on-site training agreements with allies are common in the U.S. The Republic of Singapore 428th Fighter Squadron Buccaneers have been hosted at the base since 2008. German forces trained at the Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico for decades. New facilities to train international F-35 fighter pilots were completed at Ebbing Air Force Base in Arkansas last year."

They’re building building?

 

[candycorn]

Do you know what a facility can comprise? You're an excitable moron. An indoor swimming complex can be considered a facility. As I noted earlier. It is not unusual for foreign military contingents to house independently from other nations for multiple reasons--not the least being language and cultural differences. Now put your tin hat back on and go howl at the moon, I hear the green cheese is molding.

This ain’t that. What is it….Muslim pilots with armed attack aircraft over American skies. Courtesy of your blob.

And?

Maybe next to the Singaporean AF facility?
