There will be a backlash against Schumer, Clintoon and certain knee-jerk light-weight Republicans.
You like maybe they should burn our money to stay warm? It would be nice if we didn't alienate the 3 remaining friends we have in the region. It's not like our national survival isn't tied to the UAE, SA and Iraq being our gas station for the next 20 years. And yeah we do look like xenophobic a-holes. Bin Laden would like for their 1-2% crazies to turn 100% of us on their legitimate institutions.
Well, until UAE explains why they were only 1 of 3 countries in the WORLD to recognize the Taliban government, why they shut down our FBI following of money that funded the 9/11 hijackers from UAE, why the UAE leaders were meeting in 1999 with Osama and Clinton refused a CIA hit because they were there....
Just a few facts that fail to be dealt with because it may "offend" them.
Boo-hoo-hoo. Get yer hankie, Monsoor.
I can think of at least 3,000 reasons why Americans might be just a touch "islamophobic".
Why not just open an express lane into the ports marked "Terrorists Only"?
This proprosal stinks to high heaven, and the President's stubborn defense of it stinks even worse.
Sorry, but the backlash is against statists that hide hunder the GOP label, putting dollars ahead of security. I know the likes of Limbaugh and much of the "conservative" print media is trying to spin this, but its not working.
