For crying out loud, we have spies in Britain and Israel. What makes you think we trusted Dubai so much that we wouldn't spy on them also. We'll still have intel. It may even be better intel now that it won't be filtered by a so called ally that turned their back on America over a business deal.
Really? Didn't some in the UAE meet with Bin Ladin? hmm seems like some good intel to me. Also they know things about Iran, seems like some good intel to me.
"We'll still have intel. It may even be better intel now that it won't be filtered by a so called ally that turned their back on America over a business deal."
Our spies can not get the kind and volume of intel that we have gotten from cooperation with UAE.
One other point. When someone stabs me in the back, I turn on them also. UAE was stabbed in the back by Congress. Not when Congress demanded an investigation, but when a committee in Congress, after getting agreement on a 45 day investigation, added a deal killer to the supplemental spending bill for our military and victims of hurricanes. That is dirty politics any way you look at it.
