Well, it looks like the ruling family has thier panties in a twist. We could also pull our military installations from thier country and let them do it thier own national security. That might give `em a little "perspective".
Me thinks you have it backwards. They are allowing the use of their country to our military. Arabs only need our protection if they are our friends. Killing this deal will harm our security, not help it.

All of the ruling tribes in that region need "our protection," because they do not rule through consent of the governed.
If a truly democratic election were held in most of these countries Al Qaeda would be the winner, which is why none of them hold things called democratic elections.

I agree with you.
The security issue had little to do with our ports here. The game being played here by congress holds great potential to compromise operations in the entire region.
Perhaps we'll need them E-85 vehicles much sooner than anticipated.
