Krauthammer: Qatar Has Been Playing Both Sides, They Have to Declare Themselves

RUSH EXCERPT:

KRAUTHAMMER: "Right now, I think what we are seeing out of the gulf states, deciding that they double game the dirty game that the Qataris have been playing for 30 years, which is to play the Iranian side and the Arab side. Also, within the Sunni world to play the terrorists, they support the Muslim brotherhood. They have given in direct to Al Qaeda, to ISIS, they support Hamas. The Egyptian government is in a war against the brotherhood, Hamas, and it’s got Al Qaeda and the sinai, all of which are supported indirectly or directly by the Qataris. I think this is Saudi Arabia acting together, soon, we have an umbrella of American production, a president who supports us, we have to end this game. The way to end it is to say to the Qataris, you are not free agents. We control the borders, we control your intake of food, we the Qataris, you are not free agents. We control the borders, we control your intake of food, we control the sea, we control the airways. We are not going to invade, like North Korea and China, but this is a serious step. This is not just withdrawing. Ambassadors, you got to shape up or not. I think this is a result of the trump visit. I think it is a combination of a situation which was intangible. Qatar was playing both sides and it has to declare itself. This is a statement, you have to declare yourself."
