I can't fault Dubai for their reaction. It takes 2 to make a partnership and the Prez realizes this, whereas the Dims/MSM/rebellious Repubs seem to think we can snub whoever it feels good to snub and not incur any repercussions. The fallout may very well cause much more harm to our National Security and interests than even what the most fertile imaginations of the knee-jerker political opportunists are claiming might happen if Dubai gets to run some of the facilities. Especially sad since they formed their initial impressions with a marked lack of knowledge of the real situation and decided to ride the wave into the November elections instead of looking at the facts. The Dims are being Dims and the Repubs are being ...Dims.

Yup. The people calling this "blackmail" aren't being fair either. Duh...if the situation was reversed we wouldn't be rushing to make deals with them in the future either.

The Prez isn't doing a good job of selling it. He is acting like an autocrat instead, and it's backfiring on him. His poor record of securing our borders doesn't help either.

Very articulate and succinct comment.

Out of touch.
