Well, it looks like the ruling family has thier panties in a twist. We could also pull our military installations from thier country and let them do it thier own national security.
That might give `em a little "perspective".

FOR SALE. large part of the north american continent, well developed. asking price? 7 billion in aircraft taken in trade.
Seriously, UAE would be very foolish to kick us out and they aint stupid just yet. If we are forced out, guess who will see an opening? Yep, the tall guy with many followers. This would be his dream as he has so often stated. And if he gets his own country, Saudia Arabia is soon to follow.
To all those who are now bashing those of us who wanted to make sure the ports deal was kosher, I can only say this to you.
TRILLIONS FOR DEFENSE, BUT NOT ONE CENT FOR TRIBUTE. You folks need to take some male hormone shots.

That might give `em a little "perspective". We need them more than they need us. We don't have any major military installations there. We use their port facilities to service our ships and airfields to tranship material and train our pilots.

Me thinks you have it backwards. They are allowing the use of their country to our military. Arabs only need our protection if they are our friends. Killing this deal will harm our security, not help it.

Since all of these Gulf States' ruling families are linked by strong familial, religious, economic, and ethnic ties, what makes you think they might all tell us to go fly a kite?
I can see that this feeding frenzy is being fueled by nothing but anti-Arab hatred, it is not being generated by rational thought.

I agree. They need us for protection . They are not as important as some would lead you to believe.
