Qatar power struggle? The Syrian pretext

Qatari & GCC sources have confirmed that the Qatari nomenklatura is going through some spasms. The Emir, HBK (Hamad bin Khalifa) have sent word that the FM, HBJ (Hamad bin Jassem) is concocting something ... The Emir (rightly or wrongly) is feeling some type of tightening noose. There is even a sense that Crown Prince TBH (Tamim bin Hamad), although the son of the Emir, is really a 'HBJ' man. Word got out that the Emir is 'blaming' the Foreign Minister for having 'taken Qatar's position on events to extreme' through the ever increasing crescendo of the Al Jazeera anti-Syria campaign.

Isn't it natural for King Hamad to be paranoid about his son after how he himself stabbed his own father in the back and overthrew him...
