I never listen to Rush and don't know what the official party line is. (More speculation.) Gen Tommy Franks (ret) is free to say whatever the hell he feels like. He is adamant that this is all politics and having BEEN in the UAE and worked closely with thier government, I think to write him off as a "yes man" for the administration is bullshit.
If people disagree with the deal, I'd sure like to see some factual evidence to back up thier stance. Other than that I'd just be happy if people can stop leaping to conclusions on bigotry, paranoia and political gibberish.
Lets have some facts to back up you claims that this is a bad deal ! Hell--let's just have someone link to the specifics of the deal so we can at least deal with reality.
