US is playing a dirty game though. they know they are required and try to take advantage.

I don't think US would pull out even if qatar ignored the warning.

At this time, nationes who don't agree with US are growing (Iran, Syria for eg.)

Conditions escalate daily. War is immenint i believe.

China is also trying to get involved in ME's business (in sudan).

All these conditions will cause the US to hold into thier bases should something happen.

I am sure, as britexpat, that a compromise will be reached.
