" To call that bumbling, arrogant collection of incompetents a 'machine' is an insult to machines everywhere."

ABC News, during Rush's break, is announcing that Bush just learned about this issue in the past few days. ??????

Iran could try to close off the Strait of Hormuz (and almost certainly would try if American & Iran were at war) but either way the UAE would be of little consequence.

The UAE juts right into the Strait and there are roads that can bypass it. At the very least it's a good place to set up shop for a while.

I can't help but think that this port deal has a lot to do with Iran.

Astute ?

Miers was rejected because she was totally unqualified. Alitto was confirmed because he was magnificently qualified. One had nothing to do with the other.

Iran already occupies three islands only a couple miles offshore from UAE.
