This deal wasn't concluded, brought to an end, finished under Obama.

You are posting what I was saying out of context.

What you fail to see is the trend.

In one post Trump is berated for taking credit for the Saudi Arabia arms deal because it was actually started by Obama.

In this thread he is getting beat on for doing an arms deal in Qatar that was started by Obama.And followed through with signing documents by Trump.

It doesn't matter what is done obviously. If he had cancelled the deal with Qatar people would be complaining about him undermining Obama's deal.... Anything to beat on the current Administration. Meh

I personally would quit selling any type of weapons to the middle east with the exception of a very few. I would also cut off all the free aid money except for countries that support our beliefs.

Haha, I was about to say his definition of what constitutes a deal seems to be very malleable.

No, it isn't. A deal isn't done until it is concluded. As in the Saudi deal is not concluded yet. This deal isn't concluded yet either as only the paper of intent was signed as far as I know. No money has changed hands and no arms have been delivered.

guys, you need to stop reminding pcgeek of his own words over the course of years, let alone a mere 6 days ago. That is just totally unfair.

I know exactly what I said.

Much like the right, his words are only applicable in that very specific instance of being uttered, wholly independent of anything that came before or comes afterward. Of course, that opens one up to contradictions and hypocrisy, but that's never stopped him or the right.

Fuck you very much. :)

He's old and stupid.

And fuck you too. :)

Trump condemns Qatar as terrorist sponsor, concludes arms sale a week later. But no hypocrisy found by his base. They're in thrall.

Donald could shoot somebody.

I hear that if you crawl into your safe space until Strongman Trump tells you it's safe to come out, you won't have to deal with the mean libruuls pointing out how hilariously craptastic your Strongman authority figure is.

The comments about "2nd rate junk" and "don't worry' aside, this is a logical and correct (simplified) analysis.

Common sense. Not everyone has it. Qatar needs jets and we make the best, even our 2nd rate stuff is better than most. :)
