Well, what I can't figure out is what the HECK is with Dubai. Yeah, Congress is full or utter morons. So what else is new. It shouldn't come as a surprise. What on earth is Dubai thinking to get its collective shorts in a knot so publicly?

That both major parties in Congress, in addition to most of our media are slamming them and telling them that being from the UAE makes them unworthy to even simply run terminals such as those Saudi or China run - despite their bending over backwards and risking unrest at home for cooperating with us.
