"...and we didn't see any red flags come up...
H'mmm.
The UAE still rejects all cooperation with the U.S. in turning over Bin Laden's financial records.
Guess that isn't a red flag.
Must be some OTHER color."
UAE still honors the Arab boycott of all Israeli-made products too....but nothing to worry about there either.
UAE works with Zim Co, which is an Israeli-owned company. Guess they don't boycott their products, huh?
The UAE was supporting OBL.
So was the United States.
After 9/11 and the USS Cole, the UAE provided us with info and helped us catch the conspirators.
Some of OBL's financial records that the UAE has, have nothing to do with terrorism, and the UAE has the right to protect them if they wish.
Dubai hosts one of our largest ME NAVAL ports, and is a major crux on the war on terrorism. Dubai is in the 'perfect' position for us to defend the straights of Hormuz.
We are already doing so (just MARCORP exercises, not the real thing. (I never lie))
Hannity had some stat last week detailing the number of times the UAE has voted in our favor at the UN. It was a pitifully low number, something like 4-5 times out of a 100 some votes. Terrible. And we're going to hand them our ports?
