"I just have to wonder why he is so determined to see this through."
Did you not read the d*mn article?! They are an ally! We are beginning to piss them off, and they rightfully are afraid of being betrayed. D*mn, they are trying to integrate with the ways of the West, and we essentially have a US Congress telling them to f*ck off! The prez knows the UAE isn't perfect, but they are (currently) on our side in the WOT.
This is EXACTLY why Hillary can not be president. She is willing to destroy anything in her way to get what she wants.

The thought of an Arab country operating our ports just doesn't sit too well with me. But Bush is determined so I guess it will happen. Good thing he isn't running for re-election.

We are doing that to numerous allies these days. Including the UK.

Speaking of Hillary.... see my post directly above. Bill Clinton has a hand in all this.

They are an ally!
so we should just hand over the ports?

Dream on. They are an ally because it suits them financially. They are using us just as we are using them. Ideologically and culturally they are Arab Muslims who hate us just as throughly as any Saudi or Iranian Mullah.
They are not reliable allies and it is better to know and understand that now than during an emergency.

This is EXACTLY why Hillary can not be president. I'm sure Hillary's First Lady could smooth things over with the UAE.

Did you not read the d*mn article?! They are an ally! Really? Are their leaders elected democratically? Do they have freedom and equal rights for all their citizens? Do they allow women to control their own destiny? Do they have freedom of speech?
Think about it.
