I live near the airport and although the fighter jets come now and then, over the past week their numbers have increased 10 fold and they seem to be doing alot more flying etc. Is therre going to be a move against Iran, does anyone have any inside knowledge as if this is a yes then some ex pats would like to get out of Qatar just in case!!!

WHat r your thoughts????

going to invade iran! i think thats a given come on we all know tis gonna happen for sure! if it happens me the hubby and the dogs will go up north and camp out and wait it out! just make sure you have loads of supplies in your house, heaps of tins and water if it does happen - remember lebanon the first thing to go was the airport, how would we all get out? You cant get those big aircraft carrier ships in the port out here! Ho hum i think too much, just be aware of whats going on in the world and have a decent plan - remember the usa air base is here in qatar so we wouldnt be safe!

'cause in my opinion, even if there is something going on I cannot imagine a safer place to stay than in one of the gulf states if there is an escalation between the Iran and the leading UN-countries!

Never bite the hand that feeds you!

Ditto with the location, the jets used by the QEAF do have a habit of sounding as if they are doing more flying than normal....what has shocked me recently though is -

C130 Hercules taking off from the Doha airport

AWACS taking off from the Doha airport

Rockwell B1 lancers landing at Al Udeid

Increased C17 and C5's landing at Al Udeid

Apparently this was all to do with a military exersize in the region, however increased number of american F15's in the area as well as the move of a high number of F22 Raptors to Japan is something to keep an eye on.

We came we saw we were Qatarized
