Can you or can you not refute Lou Dobbs comments he made on his show 2/22/2006?
If you can then do so, if you can’t then admit you are wrong about this ports deal and quit whining about it.

Lou Dobbs:"The UAE stonewalled U.S. efforts to track al Qaeda bank accounts after 9/11. In addition, the Emirates does not recognize Israel as a sovereign state. And the UAE was a transfer point for shipments of nuclear technology to Iran, North Korea and Libya."

Here’s a link to the transcript where he said the above:

LOU DOBBS TONIGHT White House Refuses to Back Down on UAE Ports Deal; Jon Corzine Speaks Out on Port Deal; Violence In Iraq Sparks Fear Of Possible Civil War; U.S. Trying To Close Trade Gap With China Aired February 22, 2006 - 18:00 ET THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT.

citing General Franks, who is a hero, over and over, will not win this debate.
many great heroes have been misled by evil characters. if the emir of dubai is such a good guy, why did he support al qaeda prior to 9-11, when it was blowing up American service men? i doubt if his true personality has changed in such a short time.
why does the emir refuse to recognize israel, but allow hamas to operate thru dubai?
it is fine to have evil characters like this as allies during a war, but that doesn't mean we should let them manage any terminals in US ports.
you can keep mentioning Franks over and over, but it won't change this stuff. (afterall, the fact that the waffen ss was eulogized in a speech made by ronald reagan doesn't make the ss good guys.)
