This to me is proof positive 9-11 could not be an inside job. No freaking way. It's having precisely the effect OBL wanted - to get our general populace good with the idea of throwing our friends in the ME under the bus. The Congress is showing itself to be a bunch of populist knee jerks.
Our "friends in the middle east" are Isreal, not the UAE. The UAE doesn't even recognize Israel as a legitimate State, and until we invaded Afghanistan and overthrew the Taliban, the UAE recognized those butchers as the legitimate government of Afghanistan. Right now the UAE are our purchased allies, bought for a price just like Pakistan. I don't want to see that price get so high that we give away our ports to our enemies.
If we don't wake up soon, American will be hanging from its own 'multicultural' noose. Islam is no friend of Western man, nor are they the friend of any other 'infidel' for that matter.
