Now get your f***ing F-16s out...

And your naval and merchant marine vessels that
are allowed to dock here...

And your troops that are allowed to R&R here...

And Boeing can forget about our next major air
bus order that is about to be issued.

The U.A.E.

Hmmm... might we need them more than they need
us?

Hmmm... China (a threat?)directly owns a shipping
company that operates a terminal at the Port of Long
Beach, California.

Oh well... tis a complicated state of affairs to say
the least.

Bill

yeah right.

Anyone think these guys are investing here because they like Americans
and America?
They invest here because they want to make money and do.

They buy our planes because they are the best deal for the money.

They let us use the bases because we provide security.

You could have put a period after the word "best."

Not really as complicated as Washington politicos tend to make it. We live
in a world economy, with good and services being provided by and purchased
by supposed arch enemies. We buy oil from the "Axis of Evil" and sell autos
and military materiel to countries whose citizens would see us all burn in
Hell. It's business as usual.

The complicated part is the paranoia that 9/11 caused, and the tendency for
politicians to use anything they can against their political enemies,
despite the worldwide ramifications. It's business as usual in Washington.

It's business as usual for one group, who seem to think that
water really does flow up hill if you can spend enough
money on publicity campaigns to convince people.
