I have noticed this too.  I now hear something like 'cutter.'  For my entire life and in the Gulf War I heard and said something  like 'kahTAHR' and the people were kahTAHReez.

Has the pronunciation of Qatar been discussed.  It seems to be changing
regularly and the military seem to use a very different pronunciation then
most other people.
