That's propaganda and you know that. The UAE has known ties to Bin Laden for crying out loud.
What has happened on this site in the past day? When this first broke, everyone was against it. Really, it seemed like everyone. But then Rush starts blabbing about it and now most people are suddenly for it? Whatever...
The wiser ones on the site know that it is good to wait for more information. ;-)
We got the FACTS; perhaps you should, too.
Now? Show me some proof.

No, some of us actually investigated what this deal was about, and now see that it is totally innocuous.
Most of those who oppose it are ill-informed or simply using anti-Arab sentiment for political gain.
At least some people here looked at as many facts as possible and FWIW, were way out front of Rush, on not being hysterics, like you.
You've only been on FR since last OCTOBER; this doesn't give you the right, nor the perspective, to ask "WHAT'S HAPPENED TO FR?" !
Actually people in in the UAE have ties to Bin Laden--not the UAE government. Conversly, the intel that UAE provides on terrorists is significant. Look on a map and see where they are. Without going into detail UAE has been pivotal in the Iraq war--especially during the early mobilization. Bush knows this and knows their reliability. This port thing isn't even a close call when you know the facts.
No Stuart, not everyone here was against it. Some silly people decided to see what the facts really were before making up their minds. Imagine that. You know, we always accused the DU types of kneejerking and going on their "feelings" while Conservatives dealt with facts. And as Howlin said, some others who thought your way have now changed as the facts become better known. I hope you will study it some more. Have a good night.
Okay. I admit it. I wait for Rush to tell me what to think. Once he tells me what to think, I am set for the day.
Rush says the UAE deal is good, so it must be good.
The enemies of Rush will be crushed in the ratings!
Rush echoed the same ideas some members of my family had expressed four hours before Rush went on the air.
