Pentagon cant square Trump comments on Qatar

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Pentagon on Tuesday said it could not square President Trump’s tweets about Qatar and terrorism with its own statement about the country’s enduring commitment to regional security.

“I can’t help you with that,” Pentagon spokesman Capt. Jeff Davis said in response to a question about reconciling the president’s social media remarks and Department of Defense comments about the U.S. ally.

“I will only tell you that we have, with regard to our bases there, continued presence in our operations.”

Trump shocked much of Washington on Tuesday when he took credit for the decision of Saudi Arabia and several other Arab nations to break off diplomatic relations with Qatar.

1. There's only two real options here...

Or maybe three...

A). Trump is living up to a promise he made to the Saudi's, not likely since he actually met with and made deals with the Qatar govt while on his trip


B). He's being played by the Russians, who hope to swoop in and make nice with Qatar at the last min

Or

C). He has no freaking clue one of our largest military bases in the Middle East is located there...I think that's highly likely

2. He may not even know we operate from there.

He may not been know where Qatar is.

3. Well, we know he thinks Israel is not in the Middle East

So there's that

Then again, my grandfather used to say - you can't figure out stupid, so don't bother trying
