Might? They already have. Libya. Syria. Iraq. Yemen. Not to mention the Ukraine and Sudan.

They "received" 5th freedom from the US the UK or both?

I don't see how this is allowed in any way via existing agreements. Love all the EK cheerleading though.

If we defend their little fake "kingdoms" again maybe this time we can send them the bill. Land wars go for about a trillion bucks or more per decade. Hope they can afford that.

All the other stuff is pretty obvious, but that is so in line with the EK/ME3 cheerleading hysteria that I at least believed that they believed it.

Your 'source' needs to look for another job outside of the intelligence community. :D

Really? They already have? The last time I looked, Emirates was based in the U.A.E. and Qatar was based in, well, Qatar. :rolleyes: When you say, "they already have", what intelligence do you have that they (ISIS) have occupied a significant part of Saudi Arabia, U.A.E, or Quatar? Just curious, my intelligence reports disagree with your opinion.

Did you not see this part:

"
President and CEO Tim Clark said on an interview with the DailyMail today, "this new flight to JFK will strengthen our New York operations to 5 daily flights and our transatlantic presence, but above all, it's a direct attack to the Big 3 US airlines... especially Delta."
"

Wow Francis. Someone **** in your Wheaties today? As I live in the Middle East I am well aware of the current situation. The poster I responded to said Emirates territories. EK flies to or used to fly to Syria, Iraq, Yemen amd Libya all currently under some form of internal strife.
Nowhere in my post did I say Saudi Arabia, UAE or Qatar.
