A strike against the Dubai Deal
This is why this port deal with the UAE is a bad idea. Tehran, Dubai to strengthen ties.
In a rather surprising move, one of our "closest allies" has allied itself with one of our biggest enemies. Which tells me that either the UAE is doing a bad job of straddling the fence, or is setting us up for a fall. The friend of my enemy is my enemy and all that.
This port deal is looking worse and worse all the time, and this move just puts a cap on it. If the President continues to push for this deal to go through, in light of this new development, then I will have to withdraw more of my support from him.
I am a Conservative, not necessarily a Republican. They are not the same thing. Not any more.
