"....say that the same family that has made the UAE safe for us may not have a partial ownership in a multinational because they are essentially Osama-style raghead terrorists."

Excuse me, but it is our own military that keeps THEM safe, not the other way around and as far as being "essentially Osama-style raghead terrorists", that's the only thing that is dead on accurate that you've said.

They've purchased plenty of our military hardware to keep themselves safe. If they wanted to, they could buy whatever else they would be lacking. I expected this all along. Both sides lose though, if our alliances fail.

The US has no involvement in the internal policing of the UAE.

So why would these 'terrorists' allow our country to refuel our WAR VESSELS at their port and host an airbase that was used in the attacks on Iraq?
