Reply #16: How does this doc show "that the UAE really is trying to cooperate...."?

From the OP's NY Post link:

"If it's real, the document shows that the UAE really is trying to cooperate with the U.S. in the war on terrorism, because they were being threatened by al Qaeda," said terrorism expert Lorenzo Vidino.

"But it also reveals that even though they are our friends, al Qaeda seems to have people on the inside in the UAE, just as it has in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Qatar and Kuwait."

So just because the supposedly real letter is supposedly threatening them it means they're "trying to cooperate" and therefore we can trust them? Oh yeah right... sorry but all it means to me is, "al Qaeda seems to have people on the inside in the UAE, just as it has in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Qatar and Kuwait."

Quite frankly my problem with this whole port issue is that I don't feel ANY foreign country should be handling our ports, allies CHANGE, heck Saddam was our "ally" at one time. Sorry but from what I can see there are a few very good reasons to not allow this deal to go through... overall it just plain stinks like 2 week old used cat litter in a multi-cat household and increasingly so as more "info" comes out.
