So now we are leading by what the polls say?

what is this? The Clinton Administration??????

We've stabbed an ally in the back. We called them terrorists. we called into question their integrity.

Now WE are going to pay the price for it. Actually WE isn't specific enough.

OUR MILITARY is going to pay the price for it. Live with that.

You are out of your freaking mind, if you think the UAE is doing anything more than blowing smoke.

They NEED our military to use their ports.

They don't let us use their ports because they like us. They don't let us use their ports because they desperately want to unload container ships in New Jersey.

They let our military use their ports because the are under threat from militant islamic fundamentalists and our Navy in their ports discourages attacks.

Without our Navy in their ports, their tourism industry and their banking industry will completely dissolve in a matter of months.

When they actually do deny our Navy docking rights in their ports I'll apologize for calling you nuts, but that is not going to happen.
