What is certain is that Dubai will close its Ports to US Navy ships - and we will loose the ability to control the Straights of Hormuz.
Just at a time when we are contemplating action against Iran. Killing the Dubai Ports deal is a strategic disaster.

The most frightening aspect of this whole fiasco is that our enemy lies within. And they are not foreigners either.

Couldn't we just tell them that locking us out of the straits and even their ports is unacceptable? We could always remind them what happens when we are threatened. I'd take a carrier over a UAE gun boat any day. The sooner the Islamofascists realize we, and the coalition of the willing (However many of them are left) control the fate of the Middle East, the better for them.
