You're a disruptor and an insignificant one at that.
Easily led and duped by the likes of Michael Savage, your "hero."

It was all about a business deal between P&O and DPW, of which 6 operations are US based. Our troops were never threatened.

Of course they're not threatened. Thousands upon thousands of them passing through the UAE itself. But let a cargo ship come over here? Horrors!

It was never about security in any form as you have aptly revealed. Not for you, not for Chucky and not for the RINOs. Are you with the Unions?

Not to mention that one of those UAE nationals was living in Germany when he was recruited. The antis position just can't stand up to any scrutiny.

Baseless assertions are the stock in trade of the Antis. I deal in truths.

"I say we Giulani them and say keep your money..."

Might work if we weren't so in debt up to our eyeballs that it take foreign countries to keep us afloat. Sticking the UAE in eye over this is going to backfire. Agree with previous posts that suggest this will prompt the UAE to start playing both sides of the game again like they were doing before 9/11. They see that Iran is going to get its nuclear weapons and see that they are not treated as true partners in their dealings with us. "Arabs need not apply" is the sign they see us hanging at our "front door". Big time FUBAR.

My apologies, I'm reading other headlines that the UAE is considering removing US Military bases and its support on the WOT.

I'm guessing that a lot of this is MSM generated and about as full of substance as cotton candy--mostly thin crystals held together with static energy and hot air. The stuff makes me want to brush my teeth.

The Emir didn't fly the plane. An ordinary cross section of the man in the street did.

Your point is meaningless.

So say you.

He did so because both countries had ties to the U.S. and both countries were part of the holy Arabian peninsula, a place where he was kicked out of.

But it is all better now, and we should never question any business deal involving American interests. It could insult sensibilities and make us be perceived as racist xenophobes against the countries whose nationals attacked us. Got it.

"Absolutely. Threatening to blackmail the U.S. should be a no deal starter. How about they let the US to take control of their ports for our military ships?"


Are you serious or did you just forget to add the comment?

"I thought this would happen. Our debt will rise. Gas will rise. Our military will be kicked out of countries that have previously supported us."

Hyperbole. They won't kick us out because they are making money by our troops and ships being there. Our debt will rise why? Gas is rising all the time. We don't get our gas from Dubai, and if gas prices rise for us, they rise for everyone else in the world too. So the UAE is going to get us back by somehow causing prices of gas to rise throughout the whole world?

What countries will our military be kicked out of, pray tell? Please list them, and why they would be kicked out. Countries such as Bulgaria, Romania, Poland and others are begging us to locate our military bases in their countries, because they know a good deal both financially and security-wise for them, when they see it. The UAE would never allow any of our U.S. companies to manage their ports; why would we let them do that which they would never contemplate allowing us to do? Especially in light of 9/11. The ports Dracula is down for the Count (pardon the pun) now. It's time to drive a permanent stake in it.

Why would anyone care about that silly story? Worse have been said here about solid Republicans by the Ideological Idiots leading this jihad.

Now your LIES have spread to accusing Rush of being a traitor.
That is the sort of idiocy which one would expect from a Lover of Losers. Who is your dream guy? Buchanan, Tancredo, the candidate of the Constitution party, someone even less capable of getting more than 1% of the vote?

Now that it has come to light that there is foreign ownership of other facilities (airport terminals), congress is planning a review

Just wait until Duncan Hunter learns that we have military basing in the UAE, he's going to be really steamed.

The UAE Emirs didn't choose who would fly planes into the WTC. OBL made that choice. And OBL had Al Qaeda from all the Arab countries to choose from including Afghanistan and Iraq. OBL specifically chose Saudi and UAE nationals.

The Emir didn't fly the plane.

Do me a favor. When you actually find the guy who posted that the Emir's flew the planes into the WTC, can you post to him instead of me. Okay?

An ordinary cross section of the man in the street did.

No, as stated above it was specific members of Al Qaeda as chosen by OBL who flew planes into the WTC.
