To the"Tough on Crime Administration" - we're not buying the UAE deal. |

This crap about how the UAE has changed their ways since 911 is total hypocrisy. The UAE has been and I'm sure to some extent is still involved in massive money laundering, illegal weapons, drugs and sex trading. It is a cornerstone the country was built upon. We will hear over and over in the coming days how the UAE has changed their ways and passed new laws.
This from the people who would keep someone who was busted for smoking weed from EVER voting again in their life.
fucking hypocrites.

5. Or the 3 strikes and you're out law in California |

I'd say the UAE has thousands of strikes.

6. This is a load of crap. |

You could just as easily say: "The USA has been and I'm sure to some extent is still involved in massive money laundering, illegal weapons, drugs, and sex trading."
It would be just as accurate, and just as deceptive.

The ties between the UAE central bank and Al Qaeda are well documented. The sex slavery is well documented. The fact that the royals were meeting with Bin Laden on a hunting trip AFTER the East African bombings is well documented.
THAT is accurate.
To think it's all over is naive. Incredibly so.
