Not one of those things you just posted is evidence to show that DPW would endanger our port security, of course. They vote against us? Ok, so? They have muslims, who riot? Yes, and what does that have to do with ports? UAE has a govt we don't agree with? Again, no mention of 'port security' anywhere there.
Do you guys seriously not even understand what kind of evidence I'm looking for? I've been very clear, and am asking such a simple question.
An intelligent person in your should would say, as some have, "I understand why you might prefer clear evidence, but in this case we feel the risks are too high " . . . then explain yourself.
But to not even *know* what clear evidence is, and to not even *understand* why anyone would ever want evidence? And to post cartoons, and the like, as if that were persuasive?
You're saying a lot more about yourselves than you mean to.
You continue to show your intellectual ignorance of evidence. You also fail to properly ascertain what the clearance process requires. The entity needs to prove its reliability and 'innocence.' Thus, a couple examples where the COUNTRY SELLS us docking and basing rights (how extremely generous of them), doesn't constitute a ringing affirmation of such trustworthiness.
As Mark Twain once opinied: "The Thirteenth stroke of a clock is not only false of itself, but it casts exceedingly grave doubts upon the veracity of the preceding twelve!"
So too with all the multifarious misdeeds and linkages of the Emirates. They are manifestly in the thick of things. And playing a double game.
Furthermore, you continue to fail to grasp that this is not a "company."
You continue to blow off what the Coast Guard officers said.
Your narrow construct that you claim you want is not what is necessary. And is in fact INAPPROPRIATE in the circumstances.
Average Indians (our Globalist traders) have said that we were clearly right.
And the average American seems to have a higher instinctive grasp of the 'out of the box' elements of national hazards here than you do. But of course all you can do is claim to be bored by their concerns...or disparage them with ad hominem accusations of some stripe.
And to post cartoons, and the like, as if that were persuasive?
Oh, I see you already forgot in this very thread that you were the one demanding humor!
