Why yes, as a matter of fact, as it is wholly-owned and controlled by the Emirate leadership. A state-owned enterprise that was more-than-willing to go along with and facilitated A.Q. Khan's nuclear proliferation logistics. They only cooperated...under point of our bayonets...in 2003 to 'bust' the Khan network. Some 'bust.' The cat was already out of the bag...the horses out of the barn, so to speak. They could afford to 'cooperate'...when it was already too late. They could afford to rat out the funny-boy in Libya. Iran was always their big hope. Iran seems to be merrily coasting on into nuking Israel before we get around to doing something about it.
With a nuclear Iran...there isn't a safe port in the world.
Also interesting how all the plans were marked up in Chinese. So precisely where is the War on Terror's follow-through with the obvious ring-leader of the Axis-of-Evil? The ultimate enabler. The one with the Implausible, Plausible Deniability. The 1.3 Billion person Gorilla in the Living Room.
Meanwhile, the most-recent dictator in charge of the UAE who just retired last month, has been busy writing "Nabati" (an Arabic-Jihadist form of poetry) that fairly clearly alludes to the frustration of a jihadist wanting to knife the world capitalists in the back, but having to bide their time, and play the dupe.
Nothing to see here, move along, move along.
Hi:
To repeat myself for the ump-teenth time, that is not what I consider "evidence" of terrorist activities.
I've pretty much dropped this debate, cuz thru several threads now your side seems to have no idea what "evidence of terrorist ties" would mean to someone like me.
The insults, scary pictures, posting to support those who are in your choir, etc, that your side considers 'debate tactics' just don't influence me, I'm sorry. I'm looking for actual facts, evidence of wrongdoing by these specific individuals. I'm looking for hard evidence, of the "he did this to them, so he might do it to us" kind of mold.
Apparently there is none. And ya'll not only don't understand why I might want it, but ya'll have no interest in even trying to understand why anyone *might* want such evidence.
So there we are. I still believe this was a knee-jerk emotional reaction, and the UAE is an ally. Ya'll still believe the UAE is an untrustworthy enemy of the US.
This thread has become repetitive, with me asking the same simple question and ya'll ignoring me and repeating the same things that weren't persuasive the first 50 times.
Until some new information becomes available, have a nice day.
