Qatar to build an Air Force Base in Idaho [View all]

Sec of Def Keggerseth signed an agreement with Qatar to establish an Qatari Emeri Air Force facility in Idaho.

I guess if you pay enough money to thr president you can even have your own military base in America.
No matter they support terrorists and use foreign slave labor as long as they keep the president flush with cash, it's all good.
