Ooh, great idea. That might encourage the UAE to make sure the US is really out of the UAE.

Care to guess where the nearest repair facility is for US Navy warships after Dubai?

Guam.

They have really good facilities in South Africa, and much closer than Guam.

That suits me just fine. It would mean that there really isn't a islamic "religion of peace", and that we have been wrong to fight this war in a politically correct manner. Perhaps the next time we catch an armed civilian shooting at our guys we will simply put a bullet in his head rather then worry about the possibility that someone will force him to wear panties on his head.

It is your type of gut-less hand wringing that will see us fighting this war forever. So screw the UAE port deal, and should they retaliate screw the UAE.
