But seriously, after all the initial brouhaha surrounding the ports deal has subsided somewhat, these are my thoughts.
I was one of the ones who initially joined Hillary! and Chucky 'Tec-9' Schumer in the outrage over "selling America's ports" to Dubai. Then I found out that rumors of the selling of our ports were exaggerated. False, even. So now, it seems much more benign and ridiculous than before.
However I haven't changed my opinion that the UAE is an Islamic state where only 14% of the population likes us. And I don't trust them a lot. We do have our military bases there, but still...trust? No.
Finally, the process of vetting and communicating foreign deals such as this one is clearly broken and murky. When the President and the head of Homeland Security and the Senate didn't even know about the deal, something is wrong with the process.
And when I find myself aligned with Hillary! and Chucky, something is wrong with the truth.
He used to go by the name of Serge Trifkovic but since its become so popular to advertise your own culture he now uses his native spelling. I suspect he comes from one of the former Yugoslavian republics. The one's I've been to don't have any vowels or very few. Try finding your way back when Trieste becomes Trst on the road signs on the other side of the border. It takes a while. Anyway, he's written at least one good book on Islam and many articles. I suspect he speaks from experience as do I with the culture in certain parts of the world. I have some of his stuff listed I think in my profile.
