Well in prepration for the Dubai port deal all day every day Media storm approaching, here is what the Port story is about.
A DNC press release was sent out by Chucky Schumer for the Democrat Senate Election Committee. It is full of rumor, innuendo and guilt by association. A bunch of junk journalists picked up the story and with out checking a SINGLE fact printed the story. A bunch of meat head grandstanding Republicans Congress Critters on Kneepads, read the story and freaked out WITHOUT bothering to find out a single fact.
The Security Agencies, who did all the investigation and background checks were blown off or sneered at by the Democrats, their junk journalists propagandists and Republican Congress critter Media whores. Meanwhile the FACTS of the case are being ignored in order for everyone to gleefully parrot a DEMOCRAT Press release.
HERE is the logical diagram on this story. A company based in UAE is taking over port operations. UAE is an Arab Country. Arabs committed 9-11. Bush is turning Port Security over to the Terrorists! Not ONE fact or logically valid assumption is presented in any of these stories. The fact that the Port Operation company has NO security functions is either willfully or inadvertently left OUT of the story. Instead it is all basically a racist, guilty by accusation and rumor smear job. The people who ACTUALLY know the facts like DHS etc are being laughed at or ignored so supposedly "Conservatives" can gleefully push Democrat Election Campaign propaganda. Simply amazing how willfully ignorant some "Conservatives" are about how the Junk Journalists lie to them. Just like Flush the Koran, Rather Gate, Fitzmus, Downing Street Memo and dozens and dozens of other LIES manufactured by the DNC and fed to the Failed Media, THIS story is a LIE.
bttt (Pretend I bumped it an hour ago - I've been buzy, but I've been here.) :)
The Japanese didn't LIVE in what they owned here in the US.
The Japanese didn't SQUAT on the land.
The Japanese didn't RUN FOR OFFICE or build Mosques.
The Japanese didn't try to CHANGE our culture.
Did Rush just say the deal won't go thru?
This will cause another conservative uprise like Harriet Miers, Rush must know this.
He said he believes there too much opposition inside the beltway for it to go through.
Rush said that while it is a good deal economically, it's bad politically considering the opposition in the beltway.
''Did Rush just say the deal won't go thru?''
Don't know. I had to turn him off. He's embarassing himself and offending common sense... like the synchophants he derides.
Which half-- the half without a sense of humor?
Hello Ali, Johnnie,
I think the Dems are opposing the Dubai deal because they tried to help an Australian union busting operation.
Australian workers were trained in Dubai to replace union workers in Australia...it involve the Maritime Workers of Australia. Patrick Stevedores was behind it, and P & O was going to receive the benefits of the change in wages.
I can't find a smoking gun that ties Dubai Ports to this event, and haven't really had the time to run all this down. Maybe ya'll can help.
This has got to be the reason Schumer is so hot on this, the longshoremen are jerking his leash IMO.
Here is a couple of links.

I wish Rush hadn't made that feeble attempt to defend the port deal. I've lost some respect for him.
I must study html...
Thanks. Thats what I thought I heard.
Also this:
In a post 9/11 world this port deal needs to be scrutinized.
UAE has the money - look at Dubai - skyscrapers in a desert? Skyscrapers in real cities aren't ego statements, they're financial reality. When prices get too dear, it make sense to build up.
In Dubai, four blocks behind a skyscraper filled main drag, is desert. Miles and miles of nothing. It's a safe illusion to buy into - a modern city ... yeah, right. But some illusions aren't as safe to buy into -- and the port deal might be one of those.
Feeble? He spent nearly an hour of one single broadcast last week talking about this and the transcript is currently on his website.
And you heard the China connection in the AD hearing audio last week...
Schumer would kill a few thousand union jobs if it meant it got him re-elected. Some of these union goobers are too stupid to figure that out.
Amen.
Don't blame my gender
I just can't remember
My brains in a blender
It's jello.
Why did it take so long for Gregory to apologize? LOL
He should apologize at the WH press briefing.
