Is there actually something the Freepers agree with us on? Check it out:

How long before they rationalize this as a great move by BushCo?

Something to the effect of "We're selling our land over here so they don't buy it over there..."

On Edit: Here are some of the first responses:

(ALSO RATE THIS UP! I Want the FREEPERS TO SEE WE ARE ON THE SAME PAGE!)

While we're at it, why don't we put them in charge of our airport screeners, subway security and Los Alamos?

Dang! I searched using keyword Dubai and also the title itself, but neither search turned up these articles. No wonder, each article has its own unique title. Go figure.
Mods, guess this will have to be pulled?

Now I see why they didn't show up in my search. None of the three articles you linked had Dubai in their keywords, yet.

You can also enter the title of the article and do a search "By Title" (Score). The results for this story are shown here.

The Bush administration considers the United Arab Emirates an important ally in the fight against terrorism"
Both Bush Administrations bent over for their Arab masters.
