Danielle Pletka writes: Qatar, the richest nation per capita in the world, plays host to al Qaeda, the Taliban and Hamas. The Hamas leader, Ismail Haniyeh, lives there in luxury, and is reportedly worth about $4 billion. How much of that came from the U.S. taxpayer? Qatar is also the sole funder of al Jazeera, which reportedly worked with al Qaeda in Iraq, resulting in denunciation from the U.S. government, and is now reportedly helping Hamas to track Israeli troop movements in Gaza. Why is there a U.S. airbase in Qatar? Why is Qatar, one of the most significant terrorist havens in the world, not a designated state sponsor of terrorism? Why has Qatar’s financing of Hamas not raised these questions? Ultimately, Congress may be satisfied by the answers to these questions. At the very least, they must be asked. – American Enterprise Institute

Joseph Bosco writes: In the event of a seizure of one or more Taiwanese islands, or imposition of a partial or total blockade of Taiwan, Biden and his national security team can be expected to oppose any retaliatory strikes on the source of aggression: military bases and ports in China.
