LOL!!!
PresReagan didn't let the Soviets push us around, PresBush shouldn't let some Arab skeikdom threaten the worlds only superpower. Let's get energy independent ASAP. Drill in ANWR, off the California coast and drill even more in the Gulf of Mexico. If the UAE is angry about this event, wait till they see what their region of the world will look like without the US military killing terrorists for them. Screw the UAE!
I'm with you. I thought people here were pretty supportive of Rumsfeld. Now I see they want to actually make the guy's job HARDER than it is!
Sheesh. Why don't the FR people just start posting pictures of Abu Ghraib? That would be easier for Rumsfeld to handle than this backstapping of an ally.
So you're blaming the backward mentality of Arabs on Christians now? Oh, that is logical.
Because Congress didn't do them the courtesy of waiting for the 45-day review to end before trying to squash the deal.
And there's a difference between "blackmail" and "consequences".
Didn't you hear? The Koran has been re-written. We're no longer infidels.
This country supports Hamas and won't recognize Israel's statehood. Are you people out of your minds? Or is the greed just blinding?
Yes we would pefer that they not participate in the boycott, they pay lip service to the boycott, while winking and nodding and allowing Israeli goods in and out every day. Much like the Moroccans, who don't "recognize" Israel, while doing a lot of commericial activity. The realities of that part of the world are such that you need to work with the relatively moderate and draw them in.
If you stand off and wait until they spontaneously become like Minnesota, you'll wake up one day and find Indianapolis, Chicago and Orlando incinerated and wonder which of the 40 nuclear-armed islamic nations it came from.
Looks like a flame war to me.
Jihadi nations like the UAE et al love to threaten, bully, and intimidate other nations. The UAE's reaction is another good reason why we should not allow the port deal to go through.
You're as reprehensible as Mike Weiner.
So you support the Emir's blackmail campaign? Do we deserve his threats because of Congress' actions yesterday and today?
Warner is reading a press release from DPW

Now there's the UAE we all knew existed under that sweet, innocent, Jew-hating exterior.
If we lose the WOT you can kiss Israel goodbye.
So Dubai's ending support of the WOT, is "consequences", not "blackmail"?
BTTT
Looks like the dems and some pubbies screwed us in ways we never thought we could be screwed in.......
Do you think the UAE will demand that clinton give them back their money?
Agreed, but approving a deal to sell ownership of our port security to the UAE is beyond reasonable. You don't have to want to "nuke 'em all" to see that.
Agreed.
