The UAE WILL KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT OUR PORT SECURITY if the deal goes

through! No they will not handle security. But they will work with our security every day.

Will they have the ability to completely circumvent the system? Probably not, but that country will know every WEAK SPOT there is in our security and will have people working with these weak spots daily.

This deal is effectively putting targets on the backs of these cities. The deal creates weak spots in the most populated cities on the east coast. It’s just a plain bad idea.



All that without considering how trustworthy the UAE is… Here is some info on the UAE:

UAE royal family met with Bin Laden, saved him from CIA hit

MR. FIELDING: Yeah. Well, I would appreciate that on behalf of the Commission if you could do that because it seemed that this -- when the intelligence was so good, and that by the time the camp was dismantled days and days had passed.

So I would appreciate --

MR. TENET: There's also a question, I believe, as to whether bin Ladin was inside or outside the camp --

MR. FIELDING: Of course.

MR. TENET: -- it was a complicating issue in this whole thing -- and whether he was there or not. So there's a second complicating factor here.

The third complicating factor here is, you might have wiped out half the royal family in the UAE in the process, which I'm sure entered into everybody's calculation in all this.

But in any event, I would like -- I will try and reconstruct the data as best I can, in terms of what I had in my possession at the time.

The UAE won’t recognize Israel. (While Bush is making a deal with the UAE, he won’t touch Hamas because they won’t recognize Israel.)

The UAE was one of three countries that recognized the Taliban as legitimate rulers of Afganistan.

Some of the 9/11 hijackers came from UAE and were fincanced through UAE banks and the UAE government would not cooperate with the investigation after 9/11.

In general the UAE has 10X more problems with terrorists than Iraq had before we invaded them.

the story about the Trojan Horse?
