Did it with Lucianne Goldberg in the second hour. The quick take: Thanks to today's Supreme Court decision, Yale will have military recruiters on campus. Until then, it was legal (and preferable) to have on campus a deputy foreign minister for the taliban, but not a recruiter from the marin corps...

John, You neglected to mention a very important development over the weekend, namely, the Southern Conference championship won by my beloved Davidson Wildcats.

I agree with you on a key factor: The "r" word is a cheap way of cutting off an argument rather than conducting one. As for fair-weather friends, it works both ways. Do we expect any Arab and/or Muslim nation to support us if we bail on an ally that has done more than any other in the region? As for the UAE's reliability: Keep in mind, the Iranians stole some of their islands in 1971. My guess is, they'll be friendly as long as the present regime holds sway in Iran -- and once the mullahs lose their grip on power, this will be a much better world.

Yes, and I've talked with Israeli intelligence officials. They don't have a problem with the deal. You're right: There's a lot of duplicity in the Middle East. But in this case, we also have a nation -- that by the public testimony of Tommy Franks, Peter Pace and other is THE most supportive in the region, and arguably second only to Great Britain in its support (military, economic, intelligence) in the world. Planning and money for 9/11 spanned the globe including in Fairfax County, Virginia, where I live. Note again that the UAE provides the largest naval base for the U.S. outside the United States, hosts all of our military forces, supports intelligence activities (military and otherwise), has done active espionage work in the war, including laying out the grid coordinates for the opening salvo of the opening attack in Afghanistan, has ramped up its cooperation in tracking down and clamping down on terror money, etc. I've spent a good two weeks reporting on the issue, and continue to do so every day. I'm not asking you to "trust me." I'm just saying: Check out the facts on both sides.

KC, Sorry I'm late to the thread. I've been doing my day job. In any event, the observation isn't a knock on anybody. It's an observation about what I consider a weakness in the argument against the ports situation. If I wanted to take shots at friends, which I don't, I would have called them out. If disagreeing with you on the subject consigns me to being pathetic, then I plead guilty.

Buff, Take off the tinfoil. I don't get anything for writing this -- but heat from you and a lot of others. That's fine. But there's no quid pro quo. I'll let others get paid by politicos. I write because I like to, and because I like learning from people who disagree. I'm always open to getting more info.

Um, Tomas: They do have troops in Iraq, and Afghanistan. They're working behind the scenes with the Israelis. They're providing intel on the bad guys. They're clamping down on terror financing. They're running the largest U.S. Naval port outside the United States. I'm just getting started, but you get the idea. As for non-recognition of Israel -- that's an Arab League position. When there's a peace deal, there will be recognition. Meanwhile, as far as the UAE is concerned, there is behind the scenes cooperation. And as for the port management question: Only two companies bid on the purchase of the management company. One was owned by the government of Singapore, the other was DPW. Not a single US company bid -- or was qualified to.

I know: The problem for a lot of these guys is that they can't abide by the fact that the United States not only will win a war they don't like, but will change the world for the better. This forces them to re-examine all their prejudices against the military -- either that, or bury their heads under the pillow... again.

It's a good thing. She gets to be the Maximum Leader at a show. I never stand in the way of a promotion for people who have done great work. They deserve a chance to move up and spread their wings.

SL, Thanks so much for everything you've done! It also happens to be radioproducer's last day on the show. She's going on to produce Spencer Hughes' show on Fox News Talk. I think I'll just put a black circle around this day on my calendar.

As I said, I've got the Mother of All Press Availabilities in mind. It would shut up everybody. The president also has to do some behind-closed-doors woodshedding. I'll describe that, too. I'm more furious about this thing than any issue I've encountered in years.
