"Oh, I see, I was correct..........you have absolutely NO knowledge of world history, nor what Neville said or did. Many thanks for proving me correct, in my assumption."

My pleasure...

ITMT, when shall we "assume" the nice men with butterfly nets are coming to take you away? (ho-ho-hee-hee-ha-ha)

Seriously what can they do? They need us more than the other way around. Right now we're a buffer between them and Iran so militarily they're sort of dependent on the USA for protection

You don't know much about the ME. The UAE ruling parties would lose all influence with their people if they didn't defend the regions honor. You simply don't understand what the implications are. That is why so many active and retired military leader types are being outspoken about this.

"Not in F16's case. He's sincere. He's wrong, of course, but he is sincere. I am trying to educate him...lol."

Well thank you Me Lady for your grace and honesty (though of course I am an insolent "student" as you are painfully aware :-D)

Loving George Bush doesn't have anything to do with it.

And frankly, I'm astonished that you're letting yourself be duped by the Democrats.

But Hillary thanks you.

If you try to stop this deal, you're essentially blowing the ME up.

It won't just be the Republicans that are going to pay for this one. My wife used to be a big Sean Hannity fan. After his spending the week pushing the lie about control of the ports, when he knows it's a lie, and calling General Tommy Franks and Colonel Oliver North koolaide drinkers, she's done with Sean Vannity.

On Friday he was talking about how he's going to be at a live debate with Jerry Springer. There's my wife saying she hopes Springer kicks his ass.

And the FACTS, not CCPed anything, about the UAE have been posted to FR, for days now, by people who have lived, worked, and/or visited there.

FYI...there is white slavery ( that's what sex trafficking used to be called ) right here in the US of A. I guess that this country is just as "bad" as the UAE; right?

You don't know much about the ME.

We've been dealing with those governments for years. Saudi Arabia had no problem taking our troops in when Iraq invaded Kuwait did they? They needed us militariy protection and so does the UAE.

I'm not disputing any of what you're saying regarding internal posturing and possibly oncreased anti-Americanism, which they'll overcome with force if need be however at the end of the day the government will get over the rebuff simply because they'll have no choice.

They're just NUTS!

These are the same people, who want President Bush to act as though he was EMPEROR OF THE WORLD; as long as he did what they want done.

I don't "LOVE" President Bush.

But I HATE liars and imbeciles!

And this whole thing is being driven by LIARS and IMBECILE, with the gullible, lazy, and very stupid repeating the propaganda and then claiming that they are right and that they know and understand what's going on.

If this deal "hasn't got a chance" ( which I hope you are incorrect about ), then I hope that YOU and the rest of the uneducated, lies are better than facts club are happy with the consequences; they will NOT be good.

They have nothing to do with it. From the beginning and days before the democrats started making noises I saw the deal as bad news. I prediced it was DOA because of the political fallout and stand by that.

Listen, genius, you were whining about my post as if it had been directed right at you, so try another excuse.

I don't know what a 'snake cake' is either- I wrote 'snack cake'- you know, one of those chocolate goodies you have piled next to your keyboard. Wipe that icing off the monitor and you'll see more clearly.

The consequences will be even worse if they let the deal go through.
