None other than the article.
Cuz you must admit that some whack-job group making threats back in 2002 that they will bring down UAE from inside . . . are very suspect 4 years later when they have accomplished no such thing.
Possible. Are you willing to take that chance?
If they *did* have UAE infiltrated, they sure haven't had any success in turning them against us!
Maybe. It is possible that they are laying low waiting for the right time to strike. It wouldn't be wise to bring attention to yourself until the goal is completed (whatever it may be). JMO
Again, there is credible evidence to suggest that the UAE are steadfast allies. And there is no evidence to suggest that the UAE would turn on us, or in any way endanger our security.
I respect your opinion. Lets agree to disagree. I think most folks didn't like the idea because of Islam.. Not because they are Arabs. The Qu'ran is quite clear in how to handle "infidels". They want us dead (unless your muslim). Hopefully, I won't get flamed or called a "xenophobe" for stating my opinion. However, I am open minded - If anyone can quote scripture to the contrary, I stand to be corrected. I've found over 100 scriptures justifying my perception of Islam.
And Conservatives are *suppose* to make policy decisions based on reason, evidence and logic, aren't we?
You are correct. So why aren't we?
Not much choice, obviously. :-)
But my position is based on evidence -- UAE has given us evidence to believe they are not a threat.
Your position is based on only your feelings. You don't want to take a chance that the evidence that they are allies might be wrong.
And you seem to agree that conservatives are not suppose to act that way . . . so I s'pose if you're okay with your position and it's lack of rational evidence, then there's nothing more to be said.
