You're close, it is unfair that American business can't invest in the UAE, only minority interests. The US should enforce reciprocity with all such regimes.

Quite a few influential constituents were in favor of having our military win the conflict with Islamists, but many of those constituents have changed their minds now. They would like to have our forces simply stop the fighting and come home, and help to nominate Al-Condi (mabye even with a "male" as her running mate). Such constituents miss their good old days of living under Hillary's rule, complaining about it, and devising conspiracy stories.
