Ports Deal has been killed

As many of you already know the ports deal was killed about a week ago. This decision is kind of a bitter sweet victory, but I believe this will prove to be the right decision, although I do think we should have taken the whole 45 day review period before killing the deal. However lets make sure we do not put port security on the back burner now; lets use this as an opportunity to look into how our ports are run and beef up the security at our ports. If we do not take advantage of this heighten public awareness of our port insecurity then we might as well have let the UAE take over. The work has really just begun on port security; lets now buckle down and make sure we do port security right. The UAE is not a country we wanted running our ports, they have had linked to terrorism with two of the 9/11 hijackers coming out of the UAE, they recognized and supported the Taliban, and have had a long friendship with Bin Laden. Which is why we did not kill him in 1999 when we had the chance because we were worried about killing a prince from of the UAE’s royal family. We would have attacked Bin Laden with cruise missiles and probably killed him, except we ID-ed a UAE airplane in the area. So our fear of offending these people is what led to us being attacked in the first place, it is absolutly amazing.
Want to know the the real reason why so many are worried about offending these people through rejecting this deal? It is because they are filthy rich. If they were a poor country that had links to terrorism no one would be having a second though about this deal falling though, but the fact is they are an extremely rich country and we are worried they will invest all their money elsewhere. They are in fact so rich they just recently built an indoor 25 story ski resort in the middle of the desert (with a bob sled run too). They build this thing inside of some mall or something, now I do have to admit this thing is pretty cool, but not cool enough to gain my support for the UAE controlling our ports, see the top bunch of pictures. They have an incredible 7 star hotel in the shape of a sail, see the bottom three pictures. They are currently working on many more luxury resorts such as, a bunch of man made islands in the shape of the world, another bunch in the shape of a palm, some crazy cool looking tulip shaped tower, and have attracted investors like Donald Trump, who is building the tulip tower and palm shaped Islands. Hence the real reason people are upset that we prevented them from controlling the ports is the fact that they have all this money we want them to continue to share their resources with us. In short we worry too much about offending these people because we want there money and there port of Dubai for our Naval ships in the area, not because they are helping a great deal in the war on terror. These people are against our Allie Israel, and have been supporting Hamas. Even though Israel does not have all the money they have; if we must choice who is more important it ought to be Israel. I hope we have enough sense not to choice allies based on how much money and oil they have.
