What exactly do we trade with the UAE ?

Looks like we send them machinery, aircraft, vehicles and electrical machinery.
They send us mineral fuel and woven apparel.

How long before someone suggests we should cut of this trade since some of this equipment will get into the hands of terrorists? The objections to this deal will have long lasting, negative consequences for the U.S. but the Dems, and some on FR, have elected the isolationist point of view.

More important than trading, they provide the US Military with more American port calls than any other overseas port. They allow our ships to tie up, even aircraft carriers and our planes to use their airfields. All this in a very strategic part of the world. I am sure that neither they nor President Bush wanted the rest of the middle east to have these facts made so widely known. They also trade with Israel, even though, officially, they boycott them.
