I'm comfortable with the process to go forward."

That and the Dubai ports scandal and amnesty for illegal immigration.

Actually, the quote doesn’t refer to the sale, it refers to the process of seeing if there are any national security implications. I’m comfortable with that, too.

The only scandal involving the Dubai ports deal was that Chuckie Schumer was allowed to dupe conservatives out an intelligence operation.

That was the real scandal.

Dubai Ports was a CIA front that would have put CIA agents into ports we only wish that we had access too. Dubai was blown and cost us dearly in security.

This further distances me from buying any stock for a portfolio if my money is going to be controlled by Islamofascists, I hate having cold hands around my gonads.

My biggest complaint, beyond even the islamofacist link, is that except in very very special circumstances we should not have ANY government ownership of business entities.

If they want to encourage the citizenry of Dubai to invest in the NASDAQ or other American enterprise it might be one thing but every time I hear about one government or another buying up private business interests I get uncomfortable and angry (kind of like when I’m constipated).

I don’t want to hear about Texas or the City of Philadelphia or Karnes County owning businesses. So I sure as hell don’t want to hear about some tin horn foreign dictatorship buying AMERICAN businesses. And no matter how benevolent some make these monarchy/emirates out to be, they are still dictatorships by every definition of the word.

Gee suddenly my blood is boiling.
