MANY residents of UAE thought — mistakenly as it turns out — that they knew the Clintons. Former president Bill and former co-president/current New York Senator Hillary were deemed to be friends of the UAE — and the Arab world in general.
While Hillary hadn’t visited the UAE recently, Bill is a regular — at least when he’s invited for a paid speech or appearance. Sometimes, he’s graced us in person — other times via a video conference. President Bush, everyone agreed, was an anti-Arab cowboy, worthy of little more than derision.

Just because the Toons can be bought doesn't mean they'll
stay bought...
Caveat emptor.

...First off — character matters. George Bush — like or despise him — is a man of principle. He knows the UAE is a friendly nation and firmly believes relations between the US and UAE should reflect a mature partnership... Secondly — the Democratic Party — and their allies in organised labour are, at heart, protectionists. Want to know how they really see things? Think France...
Third and most important. The Clintons are in favour of…..surprise!....the Clintons. ... The UAE, sadly, moves in to the Clinton category of ‘not currently useful’ to the constant campaign...
Bill O'Brien, you da' man!
(Nice post Lion.)

Now that they know it might be revealed, you are probably right.

Thanks.
Wouldn't it be great to see an article like this on the New York Times?
The fact that we don't, shows how completely useless these papers are.

It's time Republicans start driving the agenda, but I guess I can't hold my breath waiting for that to happen. This is not their role in this corrupt "Two-Party Cartel". They are suppose to give lip service to the sheeple all the while their elite handlers stuff their coffers & then back off of the conservative agenda.
