Give the President credit

he has the ugly chutzpah of the Praetorian Class down pat. How else to explain his astonishing assertion that cutting Dubai out of the port security deal would slow Arab investment in the US economy?
Never mind the fact that the so called US economy is naught but an offshore bazaar for the exchange of Chinese gold to US Dollars...
No, this is a President who has blown tens of thousands of Shia and Sunni Iraqis sky frickin' high and yet remains cravenly worried about the good opinion and investment intentions of a bunch of corrupt merchant princelings in the United Arab Emirates.
If this isn't a perfect example of Praetorianism in action then what is??
