Care to share your theory as to how this issue becomes a political bonanza for the Republicans?
Seriously, you're a knowledgable guy ... I'd like to hear your take on it.
It will be in my next big rant.
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.
