Tillerson Calls for Saudi Terrorists to End Qatar Blockade

This isn’t calling for them to resolve tensions with Iran, but it is the second closest thing to that.

I think after the Comey testimony, Campaign Trump may well be back in charge of this Presidency.

RT:

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson urged the Gulf Arab nations to ease the blockade of Qatar, citing humanitarian concerns and saying it may hinder the US-led campaign against Islamic State (IS).

“We call on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt to ease the blockade against Qatar,” Tillerson told reporters in Washington on Friday, adding that the blockade caused unintended hardship to the people of Qatar and poses an impediment to the military campaign against IS (formerly ISIS/ISIL) in Syria and Iraq.

“The blockade is hindering US military action in the region and the campaign against ISIS,” Tillerson said.

“We ask that there be no further escalation by the parties in the region,” Tillerson said, calling for “calm and thoughtful dialogue with clear expectations” in order to resolve the crisis, endorsing the mediation proposal by the Emir of Kuwait.

Tillerson noted that Qatar “has a history” of supporting groups that have spanned the range “from activism to violence” and that the emir of the country “must do more, and must do it more quickly” to crack down on terrorism.

The current situation in the Gulf is “troubling” to the US, its allies in the region, and the people directly affected, Tillerson said.

His announcement, scheduled for noon local time on Friday, was 90 minutes late. Tillerson left without taking questions from reporters.

On Monday, a group of nations led by Saudi Arabia cut diplomatic and trade ties with Qatar, accusing it of sponsoring terrorism, being too close to Iran and interfering with domestic policies of other nations. The government in Doha has rejected the accusations.

The blockade has included closing all borders, sea lanes and airspace to Qatari traffic, severing diplomatic relations with Doha, and a travel ban between Qatar and the participating states.

Like an hour later, Trump said the opposite thing as Tillerson had just said.

RT:

President Donald Trump has attacked Qatar for funding terrorism during a meeting with Romanian President Klaus Iohannis at the White House. Trump took credit for the recent decision by Arab nations to cut off diplomatic ties with Qatar.

Qatar has “historically been a funder of terrorism at a very high level,” Trump said during a press conference in the White House Rose Garden.

“I decided, along with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, our great generals and military people, the time had come to call on Qatar to end its funding ‒ they have to end that funding ‒ and its extremist ideology.”

Why would he do that?

Well.

It sure as shit wasn’t by accident.

I don’t think Hank done it this way.

But I like it.

Anyway, Qatar doesn’t really matter to me. But it is an interesting, weird move.

Which does matter to me.

I think we’re looking forward to a very fun week here, folks.

That’s my official prediction.

I am now officially endorsing the audacity of hope.
