But they are... The FBI are/were investigating the awarding of the WC to Qatar and Russia https://www.ft.com/content/049136ec-0a01-11e5-82e4-00144feabdc0https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Udeid_Air_Base
Trust me, the yanks are not even the slightest bit concerned about anything Qatar are doing so long as they can have lots of fast pointy things within range of the Iranians. Its also a crucial hub for all operations in the region and the fact that CENTCOM has a major HQ presence there is nothing to be sniffed at. Sure they support the Saudi's but the drawdown of US forces there (and increase directly in Qatar) should tell you just about all you need to know.
I am not talking about the USA military relationship with Qatar tbh.
