UAE denied they were going to cancel the orders to boeing. You might want to read a bit more before you spout off. All of you guys that are whining, and whining it is, about this deal being called off have lost your way. This was necessary in order to keep the senate and house in republican hands. If you see it any other way you have simply lost touch with Americans. Sorry, but that is the way it is.
This is pretty silly. Just put it to bed and get focused on the campaign in the fall to win vulnerable districts.
The real issue here is the terminals are to be sold to an American firm. If I were Dubai, I'd boost the price and auction them off at exorbitant profit.
What about FUTURE orders? Airbus, there they go.
I did read up on it. They said they would not cancel current orders. They hinted future orders would probably be elsewhere.
"Boeing estimated that the Middle Eastern airline companies, which are expanding with their booming economies, will buy around 869 aircraft, worth $115 billion, from all aircraft makers - primarily Boeing and European rival Airbus - between 2005 and 2024."

"Two UAE airlines recently signed orders for Boeing passenger jets. Few observers believe that deal will be called off, but Boeing may have to look elsewhere to make sales in the future, said Youssef M. Ibrahim, managing director of Dubai-based risk consultancy Strategic Energy Investment Group.
Foreign Defense Sales Also At Risk
Military equipment sales, which represent more than half of Boeing's $60 billion in annual sales, could also be at risk from fallout over the ports deal."
You may want to read more about it before you spout off. Relying on Chuckie Schumer for information is never a good idea.
Oh I think it's natural. It was the same way as after Miers withdrew. A week of "whining down." A lot of the same folks too. Kinda funny in a sad sort of way.
I don't buy it but I'll take a wait and see attitude.
