ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) President Bush says the deal allowing an Arab company to take over six major U.S. seaports should go forward and he will veto any bill that would stop it.
Oh, now; the hysteria has ramped up to hide the facts.
Utter nonsense. Like saying "If they wanted to fly planes into the WTC, they would have done it long before, say, 2001." Education before opininiation is useful.
Watch the movie here.
My impression, which may or may not be correct, is that they've built a bubble around the western/international monied set. The construction going on is supposed to be unprecedented. Also, and this is very odd to my eye, a couple of years ago a very high profile billboard went up in Soho (in NYC) advertising their airline.
STATEMENT BY H.E. RASHID ABDULLAH AL NOAIMI MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES TO THE L0TH ISLAMIC SUMMIT CONFERENCE

Mr. President:
The United Arab Emirates is closely monitoring the dangerous developments in the occupied territories of Palestine, in this regards the it condemns all the violations committed by the Israeli Government that contradicts international resolutions and human norms including the policy of murder, invasion, deliberate destruction of the Palestinian houses and properties, and other crimes.
Therefore, we hereby call upon the Fourth Committee to impose sanctions against Israel to implement the Road Map which states the ending of Israeli occupation, establishment of the Palestine State by the year 2005, stopping illegal Israeli settlement activities, and the returning of the Palestinian refugees.
We hereby call upon Israel to lift the unjust sanction against the Palestine President Yasser Arafat, the people of Palestine, demolish the Dividing Wall, and to release the detainees in the Israeli prisons.
And most importantly, we call for providing international protection for the people of Palestine.
Mr. President:
The achievement of a just and comprehensive peace in the Middle East region, and the creation of conducive environment for resumption of the peace process requires Israel to abide by the International resolutions which is based upon the principle of land for peace, the Arab peace proposal which was adopted by Beirut Summit, and to withdraw from all the Palestinian and Arab lands it has occupied since 1967 including the Holly Quds, the Gullan of Syria, and the Farms of Shabaa of Lebanon.
***In this context, the United Arab Emirates condemns the unjustified Israeli attack against the brotherly nation of Syria, which could lead the region to a new circle of violence.***
This kind of attack represents a blatant violation to the resolutions of the International Legislation and the rules of the International Laws. We hereby call upon an urgent and decisive intervention to stop such attacks.
Most appropriate and it needs a reposting --- it's hidden now on the last post of this page.
LOL!
I suppose that's all we can expect. We're dealing with people who don't think. They react and emote, but they don't think.
"Aren't you two courageous! You'll stand up to a country that poses no threat to you, but neither of you have the balls to disagree with me to my face."
What's that all about? What, are you guys in adjacent cubicles or something?
Not good enough. You're the one who alleged it's unsafe. If you can't back that up without something more serious than an invitation for me to go spend a month there, you're not a serious player at all.
Back it up with some facts, not an absurd challenge.
Give it a shot.
"We advise you to exercise a high degree of caution in the United Arab Emirates because of the high threat of terrorist attack. We continue to receive reports that terrorists are planning attacks against Western interests in the United Arab Emirates. Commercial and public areas frequented by foreigners are possible terrorist targets."
Sounds like a vacation paradise...
>>"You'll stand up to a country that poses no threat to you"<<
Hey stinkspur, still smarting after you were the Harriet Miers cheerleader for so long????
Its a mullah dollah thing.
Absolutely. THAT painting speaks more than 1000 words.
It generally takes more like seven posts for you to reach the ten year old level of demanor. You're getting worse.
