I agree with everyones comments about the dumb Marine. Calling McCain a coward after serving his country as a Naval Pilot over Vietnam (22 Missions) and being a POW for almost 6 years. McCain also went on serve in uniform for 21 years. This Dumb Ass Marine who cannot even spell properly shows his ignorance. Never mentioned Barrack Hussein Obama service in Uniform becasuee there was none. Nata ! Zilch!

A number of years ago, Iran was an ally with USA, and they bought a load of F-14 and F-5 fighters along with some other military equipment. Iran did a 180-degree turn. Now, the former enemy, Iraq has done a 180-degree turn. Who knows what will happend next in UAE and Saudi-arabia.

At first glance, one’s response is, “Oh, no– not another sale of our military hardware to an Arabic state!”. But this is an anti-missile system. If the UAE ever decides to become unfriendly to us, we would just have to figure out a way to get past or around the system in a case of intervention. In the meantime, we can use the money, and a sale to a friendly nation seeking to defend itself against the nut job in Iran is probably not the worst thing in the world.
And yes, the 1st family is likely to profit in some way.

I have to agree with jojorocks let them fight among their self and lets all watch from our living rooms while eating popcorn and watch the fire works. 7 billion is a a nice capital gain to watch a much needed fireworks show.

Read the article again dummy…

The U.S.A. is selling the missile defense system to the U.A.E. (a U.S. ally in the region) so that they can protect themselves FROM IRANIAN AGGRESSION. The U.S.A. is NOT selling any technology to Iran.

This sale is a good thing… that’s $7 billion dollars of new money coming into the U.S.A.

Cheers

This is the Bush most outstqnding example of stupidity, so far. why not just give Iran the dam missles and have done with it.
Anothother example of the Bush family warmongering for a buck, I have many pages of documentation to there activities where the Bush family has sided with the enemey to make a buck. how much of a bribe do you think the family trust got for this deal.
Lets elect the coward Mcane so we can have 4 more years of the same kind of activity.
