Chill out people, the UAE is an important partner when it comes to the war on terror. Here's what Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and General Peter Pace have to say about UAE:
At the Pentagon, the UAE was praised as an important strategic military partner by both Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Rumsfeld told that a process was in place and "the process worked."
"Nothing changes with respect to security under the contract. The Coast Guard is in charge of security, not the corporation," Rumsfeld said.
"We all deal with the U.A.E. on a regular basis," he added. "It's a country that's been involved in the global war on terror ... a country (with which) we have very close military relations."
Pace said that "military cooperation is superb" with the U.A.E.
"Chill out people, the UAE is an important partner when it comes to the war on terror."
That's all well and good, but still does not give them the right to operate the port entries to this country. The Brits shouldn't have had that right either.
NO, NO, NO! Neither Don Rumsfeld nor General Pace can be trusted to tell us the truth or protect the country.
They are all in it for the money. They just want to get along with Democrats. They want to see us lose seats in November. Not even for HALLIBURTON will Rumsfeld and Pace come clean on this story.
(/ tongue in cheek)
My gut reaction yesterday was a lot like many posts I have read here, but when I heard more of the story, and that Rumsfeld was behind this..I am listening.
I am also looking at all the players who are tripping to the microphone. That too makes me curious.
I will be interested to hear what Mark Levin says about this today too.
I just cant' and won't believe that W Rumsfeld would ever put us in harms way.
