What is it about the UAE port deal that furthers your MIHOP view?

For me it just doesn't add up. Bush Inc clearly has stated that "you're either with us or against us" if that country has ties to "terraists".

What about you?

1. Nothing. I think money, incompetence, and a mid level cabinet on a roll
made the UAE approval happen. I don't see anything beyond Bushco business as usual here. None of them thought there would be any second guessing. Or any real oversight, for that matter.

4. Bush doesn't believe the shit
that he is selling about the WOT. If he really didn't know about the port deal, it's because everyone who makes decisions for him understand that he is cool with the UAE. Bush's loyalties are to the rich and powerful.

3. Proves that the "war on terror"
Was only an excuse to invade Iraq.
