I love Michelle Malkin, but she's so very wrong in this case that it's not funny. Spreading hysterical nonsense about an ally doesn't help the WOT. In fact, she and others of her ilk have only helped the dems's efforts to promote a "Arabs = Enemies" fear, which sure isn't going to aid our fight.
A lot of people don't need to be in this big tent, lest they piss on their protectors when they pee their pants.
This is a good article.
Agreed.
Much of her material (and she's by no means alone in this) has been fact-challenged.
Innuendo, speculation dressed up as fact, etc.
The greatest infraction was her lengthy wrap-up of supporting opinion (on Wednesday?), but which rested on bold statements with no factual backup or specific examples. Frank Gaffney - whom I normally admire and who was cited by Malkin - also took the line of general accusation with no specifics. I'd already concluded that there was little factual basis to be against the DP World deal, but this piece really sewed it up for me.
I love Michelle Malkin more than you love Michelle Malkin--but she is wrong here.
Our greater threat to national security are the TSA workers at our airports and the millions of illegal aliens swarming across our borders.
Those in an uproar over the port deal lack facts. The real question, however, is where are the American companies who could operate the port? Were they in a bidding? Were there bids?
Lots of talking heads are wrong in this situation. When you start playing politics and ignore what is right for our beautiful America, situations like this occur.
Aah the ever so "Political Correct," if we just treat them as friends they will become our friends. This is undoubtedly form someone who has not read the Muslim history or has spent any time reading their guidelines in the Koran. From,"Islam History, theology and Impact Upon the World."
"The progression was from Dar al Sulh - when the Muslims are minority community, and they need to adopt temporily a peaceful attitude in order to deceive their neighbors - to Dar al Harb, when the territory of the infidel becomes a war zone by definition."
Trust a Muslim! You willing to bet your life on it?

I continue to love Michelle Malkin for being principled and honest to the core.
Spreading rumors that the UAE is an ally should be chargeable as treason.
Are we a friend of Israel or not? Does the UAE trade with Israel? If no, why not? The answer of course is no. The why is because they hate Israel and seek it's destruction. So exactly how can the UAE be our ally in the war on terror while privately seeking and promoting the destruction of Israel? That's some "ally."
In addition Dubai UAE is building the world's tallest skyscraper as a symbol of the twins we lost. Think about it.
Moreover, the UAE cannot possibly be a true ally when it was one of the few countries to proclaim the taliban as the govt of Afghanistan...and is a strong proponent of the hamas.
Methinks you should reconsider your allies. Now, I know they allow us flyover space and a landing strip, obviously that is better than having us determine them the true enemy they actually are...and making them our future target as we continue to prosecute the war on terror.
