"In my view, the President is paying off political debts to Arabs with checks our rear ends are going to pay for."
Actually DP World won the contract, they were given nothing by the President.
"Does the UAE allow bibles in country? Can Christians freely worship there?"
Yes and yes, it is openly supported and encouraged.
Has the UAE sent troops to fight in 'Stan or 'Raq?"
The UAE has uniformed troops in both places and is also actively involved in helping us train the Iraqi police force.
That would seem somewhat obvious in light of all the reports that the Pres. didn't know anything about this (nor did Chertoff, DoD, etc, etc...) until well after the deal was approved.
