President Bush said Friday the collapse of the Dubai ports deal could hurt U.S. efforts to recruit Mideast governments as partners in the worldwide war on terror.

Partners, that shake down their friends like a criminal protection syndicate, are precisely the kind of partners that we don't need. Our president is a fool.

Quack...President Bush is now going to suffer through his last years in the WH. If only he had a bit more of Ronnie Reagan's strength in conservative principles. But over all, IMO, he was the lesser of much more evil and incompetent choices...Gore / Kerry / Dean anyone?

Exactly what I think. Any ally who will turn on you like this, is no ally at all. They are "for sale to the highest bidder."

Some ally. What a joke.

Our president is a fool.

Spoken like a true leftist. Oops..........only you're NOT one.

What does that make YOU then??

The President spoke the truth. I'm wondering why that bothers some of you. The collapse of the Dubai deal was due to the duplicitousness of the U.S. Congress which went back on its word to look at the deal for 45 days.

The Congress messed up. Don't blame it on the President.

And you're Schumer's butt-boy.

[Indy Pendance]

So, why aren't you president?

[Greenpees]

It's not a "shake down" to involve other countries, specifically arab countires, in the fight against terrorists. And the carrot used to be that those who stand with us are rewarded for it.

Now, we have told the world that it doesn't matter if you try to be a partner for peace, or capitalism. If your'e an Arab, your'e out and everything we've told you until now has been a damned lie.

Why the hell are we still in Iraq?

You want to see a fool? Go look into the nearest mirror!

You don't understand a thing about any of this and refuse to look, actually LOOK at the facts!

DPW was going to make our terminals more proficient and they were going to use THEIR OWN MONEY to do so!

They weren't "shaking us down", nor was it anything even remotely like a criminal protection racket; that would be our very own, home grown LONGSHOREMENS' UNION!

"I guess I am a moderate. This means that conservatives think I am a liberal and liberals think I am a conservative."

"Our president is a fool."

You sound more like the democraps I have to deal with everyday!

Congress is the shakedown artists and the American public are the fools.

[crushelits]

I have no doubts believing the President.

or do you thinks we're lucky we have not been the victims of another attack?

Do you have better intel than the President? or the intel you receive comes in a magic bowl?

Oh nooo! Horror...I know now, Hitlary and her villains chuckie, reid, durbin, etc. know better?
