Translation..... They have three Paki tea boys serving the government office buildings.
The UAE isn't a charitable organization that's giving us the right to dock there for free. We pay them. But that's not why were important to them. We're important because if we weren't there the Iranians would swoop over and take their oil fields. And if we said "dock our ships for free or we're pulling out, they would dock our ships for free. Now, the relationship is equal. When the war is over, it will be unequal in our favor.
My suggestion to the scardy cats who are afraid the UAE won't like them? They should stop acting so desperate. It's not attractive.
Alqaeda sympathizers are right here in our own congress.
Note to Al Qaeda: Jack Bauer is a real person and he is in that van 2 vehicles behind you.......
Why would they announce this, if it were true?
It seems rather to one's own disadvantage to publicly point out any kind of covert asset or operation of the type that the announcement describes.
I wonder if this isn't just more smoke and mirrors from 'truce offer' Al Qaeda.
I question the timing of this being Bush's fault.
Probably, but Al Qaeda, Zarqawi, bin Laden, and Co. are pretty desperate to stay in first on our threat list right now. Anyone can make the front page by blowing something up. But even that's hard to do if you're spending most of your time hiding under rocks so that you won't get blown up.
ping for later
According to Press Guy Scott Mac, this was all reviewed and the President asked all the departments if there was a problem and they said no. Besides he just recently found out about this semi-secret deal in return for use of UAE military bases and ports for our carrier group. (Source; Whitehouse briefing)
According to the President, UAE is one of the strongest supporters of the WOT despite the fact that they supported AQ up until 9-11, contributed two of the terrorist of 9-11, CONTINUALLY GIVE money to the Iraqi insurgents, recognized the Taliban until the US routed them, bankrolls Hamas and served as their media proxy, is a major port corridor for opium and other illegal drugs which finances jihads, and refuses to recognize Israel.
Let's be careful not to be xenophobic and get our facts straight. Let's not be racist--the British company that controlled our ports before (oh you didn't know the US doesn't control dockside activity in six of its major ports--shows you how racist and uninformed you all are) the Brits may secretly be our enemy as well even if they are not fanatical and support worlwide terrorism. It's our racism that blinds us to PRINCIPLE. This deal is right based on PRINCIPLE.
I suggest you all visit the UAE in Abu Dabi and have the Prime Minister wine and dine you to allay your fears. Then you can tour the Dubai port facilities in your own personal convoy of Maybacks. You will see this port deal is good for the global economy and you will find Al Queda a whimsical farce.
Proof that they didn't. If they had they'd never dare brag of it--it would undo their work!
If the openly claim it, then they probably haven't Its not very good operational security to openly say, 'yes we have compromised your security!' Far better just to be quiet about it.
Yawn. This will really make the Bush haters go nuts..
Almost 4 years later no sign of truth to the claim by Al Qaeda. Proof positive that UAE has flushed the system or found no AQers in the system. Additionaly, these papers also contain references to AQ operations in Iraq prior to US attack. You don't suppose the MSM will pick and choose what to believe based on their political leanings, do you?
Why would some organization tell another they infiltrated them? This sounds fishy to me.
So what? Look at all of the socialists that have infiltrated our government.
