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.

It's liberals who play the race card. It's like telling someone in Salem that someone might think they're a witch ... Telling people they might be "racist" is the attack of a bully. Let's debate this deal on it's merits, not on fear of being "racist" or "not being liked" or "too stupid to know the Coast Guard does security". Let's look at the deal. They need us as much, if not more, than we need them. I don't want to see the Republican Party destroyed over a business deal. If the Dubai thing can be worked out in a fair and safe fashion, fine. If not, fine. Quit acting so, so, like a desperate liberal, (ooohh they won't like us, ooohh oohh, you're a racist etc.) it's pathetic.
