The last ditch defense of the truly desperate is often how long their tenure is. Try some decaf man.

ROFL. Poor put upon me? Not quite, hon. I don't believe in victimhood as endorsed by Oprahland. What I do believe is what I said -- emasculated men just can't deal with women who have an opinion they don't agree without resorting to the rather tired "intellectual hysteria" garbage, and you delivered beautifully.

One also posts a thread that was posted and commented on last night.[::shrugs::] Tell a mod, then.

Try some decaf man.Not necessary, thanks. I'm not the one making up wholly alient positions for a posted article's author entirely out of whole cloth, after all. :)

Why?Because it vexes you enough to attempt some small snark with it in the first place, evidently.
Certainly needn't do so, if you'd prefer not to; s'all good with me, either way. :)

And no one on this thread has made more assumptions without facts than you on this thread.

Agreed. Not really that big a security issue. We're obviously throwing them a bone for some reason.
Did you find part of my post hysterical, or are you talking about the theater on Capitol Hill?
Do you think the UAE agreed to put boots on the ground if we go into Iran?

Small snark? Let's boil it down to a very large snark for you. Krauthammer makes the same careless mistake that too many journalists have made when he refers to Arabs running our ports.
Those words are very significant and totally misleading.
To: Peach
And no one on this thread has made more assumptions without facts than you on this thread.I read articles, before posting on them.
I don't willfully mischaracterize the content of same, afterwards.
Your own way of doing things must strike you as being no less sensible, doubtless.

It's not throwing them a bone, they are actually very good at what they do with commercial port management...so much so we are entrusting the logistical support of our ground troops to them and the safety of many surface combat vessels.
They already have troops on the ground and are also actively involved in training Iraqi police.

"BTW welcome to FR, I hope the Cowboy in our name isn't a reference to bareback mountin' or the "rough riders" comment in your tag line."
No. Actually worked on a ranch when I was younger. I leave the rodeo riding to my cousins.

So let's see. I start out wondering if Charles would have written the same article if he knew that Saudi Arabia already manages terminals in this country and you jumped ugly.
Cobwebs between the legs. Intellectual hysteria. Lie down with a cold compress.
And yet another (wrong) assumption by you -- that I didn't read the article before wondering about whether Charles would have straddled the line as finely as he did had he known about Saudi Arabia. If he did know it, it would have been an interesting point to add to the article and he might not have commented the president should have stopped the deal.
But keep mischaracterizing my posts; it tells me everything about you.

It's within this thread that you've plainly decided to have your little tantrum, after all.LOL. Having gotten this far into this thread I can tell you this, it is not Peach who is having a tantrum.

Those words are very significant and totally misleading. Allow the contract to go through
Which part of that is it that you find the most "misleading," or most worth anyone's hopping up and down over like some bug-eyed, caffeine-cranked Imam, pray?
Flail away at insubstantial nits of word choice while pretending not to notice the adamantine, elephantine meat of the article all night long, if you like. (How you jolly yourself online after paying the monthly bill from your ISP is, blessedly, your own lookout, and none of my own.)
I, in turn -- rightfully, and in perpetuity -- reserve the no less sovereign right to point and giggle, if and whenever you (or anyone else) elects to do so in any/all public fora.
Win-win. :)

Why Thank You;
Your words of such great wisdom are a true inspiration for me this morning.
I must apologize for my previous post to you. It's just that too many people assume what others have done or read, as you did with me.
I find it interesting that so many people are up in arms about this deal, to include Mr K, and think it should not go forward. But on the other hand, foreign operations in our ports have been going on for decades. Arabs, Chi-coms and a host of others.
This is America and the rule of law applies to everybody and every company. The rules, as set forth by congress, are being followed.
The question becomes "Do we allow foreign operations in our ports?" If the question is "NO" then we have a whole big nest of snakes to clean out.
Done babbling for now.
