I wouldn't call anyone who votes agasint us 95% of the time at the UN our "friends".
Like he says if we cant tell the difference between Damacus and Dubai we dont stand a chance of winning the WOT. They have done alot more than alot of our so called NATO allies have done for all their grand talk
I wish I was back in Dubai. Thanks for posting this. Hope the kill-all-the-Ayrabs people don't show up.

hi, do you have a listing of these votes?
And Dubai is one heck of a lot of fun.
The truth will prevail.
Oh, you know they will.
And they've obviously never been to Dubai. ;-)
Trying to find something other then silly cartoons now?
I am sure they will. Its quite tragic to see a mentality among Americans thats about as limited as the extremist muslims we see on TV. About every posting I have seen from a freeper or from bloggers that have lived there have come to the conclusion that this anti UAE nonsense is wrong and might hurt us in the end. But in the end it means nothing for some reason. I didnt know till yesterday that the UAE had forces in Afghanistan helping us for goodness sake.
LOL. You took that troll post for your tagline. LOL.
So what, this guy had a nice time on leave and now everything's kewl? What a joke. This dude is basing his opinion on the outward face that Dubai shows. Whether or not they are a reliable ally should never be based on how many TGI Fridays that they have in country. Geeze...
Countries I've been to.
The kneejerk politicos and pundits are already back-peddling on this.
The whole way it was written (AND the response) just really got my funny bone.
LOL
I jhave heard it was fun. I had a close friend that lived their he was from India but had lived their all his life. He loved it.
I completely agree with this guy. I have been to Dubai twice with two different MEU's. The security was better there than Singapore, Hong Kong, and Perth Austrailia. Dubai is a beautiful city, we were treated great, and never had any problems. During one of our port visits, it happened to be Rahmadan, On the pier that we were tied to we had a Carl's Junior, Pizza Hut, Beer tent, and an Arab who sold what we called Ahmed tacos. We had to stay on the pier untill sunset, then we could go into Dubai. I enjoyed both visits.
