Vanity -Don't miss replay of Wolf Blitzer's visit to Dubai

The Situation Room/CNN ^ | 3-6-06

[STARWISE]

AIRS: 4-6 p.m. and 7-8 p.m. ET Monday-Friday

Monday's show

Wolf Blitzer is live in Dubai with a look at the company at the center of U.S. port takeover controversy.

[STARWISE]

I have to admit it was an extremely comprehensive segment .. lengthy, interviewed management and other employees of Dubai Ports World, US Navy captain describing the situation of their servicing our needs in the port, showing their security apparatus. The Captain gave a history of our vessels in UAE ports, gave DPW an A+ in their partnership with us.

I urge all with interest in this subject to watch.

He'll be there tomorrow also, interviewing the CEO of DPW.

Thanks so much....I will be sure to watch!!

I am so glad you were monitoring CNN....I forgot he was in Dubai.

Situation Room is one of my favorite shows. Jack Cafferty is a riot.

Expose the Left will post the Blitzer interviews later, I suspect.

[STARWISE]

Yeah ... he's a MEGA jerk. Wolf asked him if he had any questions for the CEO of DPW he'll be interviewing tomorrow, and Cafferty snidely barks .. I'm paraphrasing here: yeah, ask him with all the nuclear proliferation that's passed thru his ports, how safe they are today?

No matter what questions Wolf asked the spokesman for DPW (graduate of Georgetown University, btw, and I think one of our defense colleges), who was SO well spoken, on top of every question .. or the US Navy Capt., there were only positive responses.

One thing I was drawn to was the eyes of the Arab spokesman described above, in his native garb ... tell me any of you who watch it what you thought. I vacillated on how I felt about the lack of smiles and a bit of coldness in his eyes.

REPLAY COMING UP IN 45 MINS.

[Txsleuth]

Please let me know what you want me to post.

[NordP]

Thanks for the "ding?" I'm going to be at a meeting, but hubby will be here. Must see TV!

[jdm]

You're too kind, Ian! Any Jack Cafferty segment is must see TV, but that's probably just me. Thanks for all that you do at ETL.

[jdm]

Does anyone even know what Cafferty does at CNN? I've been trying to find out for a long time. I guess he's an anchor/reporter. I think he lives at CNN too.

[STARWISE]

Watching?

[Txsleuth]

Wolf just described the deal as the UAE CONTROLLING the operations at the ports by DUBAI???

He still doesn't get it, does he??

[STARWISE]

Unreal .. " in charge " .. c'mon, Wolf.

[STARWISE]

You're probably sleeping @ 4 am (maybe not ;). Wolf Blitzer is at your back door now, doing a special look at Dubai and the ports issue. Try to catch it if you can.

[ianschwartz]

Thanks! I just got what he said at the end of the 1st run.

Terrible!

Jack used to have his own show on the weekend, however he was kicked off of it for making racist comments against Asians.

He now co-hosts a weekend show called "In the Money".
