I say we Giulani them and say keep your money...
Absolutely. Threatening to blackmail the U.S. should be a no deal starter. How about they let the US to take control of their ports for our military ships?
I thought you said a massive global trade war was not even possible?
If someone interferes in one of your business deals and costs you seven BILLION dollars, are you going to say to him, "Thank you sir, may I have another?"
They should look at all of their US investments and decide which Senators/Congressmen districts would be most impacted if they pull those particular investments. Put the screws to the stupid representatives. Hastert is already feeling the pressure because of Boeing....

Might work if we weren't so in debt up to our eyeballs that it take foreign countries to keep us afloat. Sticking the UAE in eye over this is going to backfire. Agree with previous posts that suggest this will prompt the UAE to start playing both sides of the game again like they were doing before 9/11. They see that Iran is going to get its nuclear weapons and see that they are not treated as true partners in their dealings with us. "Arabs need not apply" is the sign they see us hanging at our "front door". Big time FUBAR.
