OK guys, there are 2.5 million people in the UAE. Despite being overwhelmingly Arab, they are actually not all terrorists. It would be both disgusting and terribly damaging to our current image war in the Middle East to disrupt this deal solely because the buyers are Arabs.

Understand something. I'm not saying that this deal absolutely should never happen. That's not what the members of Congress who are speaking out are saying. What we are saying is that this deal may have been allowed to go through without due diligence with regard to potential security problems, and financial transparency.
