Worth repeating!

So your idea of a friendship is that it is purely a one way street, that you can insult a friend, slander their reputation, and threaten their economic interests and they should just bend over and take it? So the UAE is suppose to buy Boeing's passenger jets and give the US Navy unlimited use of its ports and we pay that back by kicking them in the a** and if they don't say "Thank you sir, may I have another?" then they're not true friends? I would suggest sir that it is the US that is not a true friend. If your idea of friendship is to screw over a friend and then declare them disloyal when they don't just sit back and take it, then I am glad we're not friends.

Thanks, and I should have pointed out also how the UAE has turned over top Al Qaeda terrorists, provided reams of intelligence on Al Qaeda, provided us intelligence on Iran's nuclear program and helped us put the nuclear proliferator Dr. Khan, the Pakistani scientist, out of business once and for all. But despite all that it is the UAE that is the bad friend according to that schmuck we pay them back for all that and more by flipping them the bird. We've become such a silly country.

And our politicians are even more ridiculous. The only thing they give a crap about is this ridiculous dog catcher election in November. Good governance be damned! It's all about seeking power for the sake of holding power while doing nothing significant with it. And both parties are guilty, though I exempt the president from that criticism and his administration. It's the losers like Susan "Lispy" Collins, Lindsey "Goober" Graham, and Peter "I Hate the UAE but Love the IRA" King. Spare me these hacks.

Laughable. The US Navy has access to Dubai because they pay for use and because the deal was greased by the worlds most sophisticated F-16, the UAE Block 60.

The UAE will buy the Boeing jets because they're a better product, if they don't the UAE is just cutting off their own nose.

The UAE deals in profit, not nancy pansy ideals such as friendship.....that's why they support the elimination of Israel and 80% of them have a dis-favorable view of Americans in Iraq.

Any other silly premises?
