And mine to you? Do some homework and learn some cognitive skills. There's no desperation in what I wrote to you. But there are facts. And one of them is the military importance of our forces in UAE. And it's not about Iran invading that country. It's more about keeping Iran from blockading or attempting to blockade the Strait of Hormuz.
Under no circumstances should be do business with people who use strong arm tactics.
Really? You must ride a bike everywhere. Or walk. Surely you don't operate any machinery that runs on Saudi or Venezuelan oil. I mean those two countries are hardly on the list of meek and mild-mannered types, ya know?! Or maybe you don't...or maybe you're a hypocrite. I learned a long time ago ya can't talk sense with those who have none. You prove I was right.
You are wrong about this business transaction. It's not one-sided. We need them and they need us.
I never said it was one-sided. I'd suggest rereading my post but you'd still end up with the same preconceived notion so don't bother. Your initial overreaction and your need to put words in my mouth shows you're short on facts and long on bullsh!t.
You seem to have that covered. I should have looked more closely at your moniker. It explains a lot.
I'll tell ya what Blake, I won't think you're a hothead idiot if you'll tell me the only place in Dubai to get a totally American tasting hamburger. (here's a hint: you can't get the information on the internet) If you don't know, you might want to hop off your high horse and figger you might not know everything after all....
Newsflash, wise ass: I know enough and more than you. At least regarding this. You've completely left the issue at hand and moved on to personal crap. That's typical of someone arguing a lost cause. Your problem is you never had any facts in the first place. I hope that's not your usual modus operandi.
Do you live in Rio Linda?
as for the Rats' reaction--
Here's the real money quote from the Dick Morris column that was posted earlier today at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1593000/posts regarding the Clintons' relationship with the UAE:
Bill is, after all, a regular in Dubai. The crown prince — that is, the government — contributed to his presidential library and pays him $300,000 per speech. Recently, Yucaipa, an American company that has Bill Clinton as a “senior adviser” and pays him a percentage of its profits, formed a partnership with the Dubai Investment Group to form DIGL Inc., a company dedicated to managing the sheik’s personal investments.
If BJ is deeply involved in a "company dedicated to managing the sheik’s personal investments," he and the Witch will be receiving millions of dollars of income in the following years from that very company. In other words, if she's elected President, the President of the United States will be on the Dubai payroll due to BJ's involvement in managing the sheik's personal investments. Her denunciation of the ports deal is nothing but cover for this raging, continuing conflict of interest. If the Pubbies can't take advantage of this, they can't take advantage of anything.
