due to his personal contacts he has an unrealistic idea of the Arabs. Read the family history, things have changed.

Like I said before I will trust a President who has killed more islamic terrorists than any other president, rather than those who think they kill islamic terrorists from the comfort of banging keystrokes from a keyboard.

Jimmy Carter is for it and Farah's against it.

Wow! Now this is a dilema!!

A senile, self righteous peanut farmer vs a loonball....which way do I turn for answers?

[WestVirginiaRebel]

It's the appearance of the whole thing that reeks of bad judgement. I think this is Bush's sense of loyalty betraying him again, the way it did when he appointed Brown to run FEMA.

It's the appearance of the whole thing that reeks of bad judgement.

So a President, according to you is supposed to base all his decisons on "style" and not on substance.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

No; a President is supposed to make his decisions based on whether or not he should trust a Government-owned company from a part of the world that hates our guts.

[Racer1]

No offense intended, but those departments don't exactly have a good record for protecting our borders.

[nathanbedford]

In a stroke the President has evacuated the high ground on national security - the only issue on which he enjoys the confidence of the majority of the people.

He has allowed the Left to get to his right on this just as he has allowed Hillary to get to his right on border security.

The Rats are posturing to get to his right on spending.

Add this public relations disaster to Katrina and watch the returns in November. Perception in politics IS reality.

Jimmy Carter is for it and Farah's against it.

Wow! Now this is a dilema!!

It sure is. There's got to be a way they can both be wrong.

Bush is not politically tone-deaf but in this case I think he was blinded by the "religion of peace" crapola. If terrorists are an extreme minority of misguided moslems, there is absolutely nothing wrong with allowing a responsible arab company access to our ports!

However, the rest of us think that these people are the soldiers of a mass movement in stealth. ERgo........a political disaster.

I confess I thought this "rop" crapola was for public consumption but apparently w really believes it (kind of like everybody coming over the border in Texas is just looking for a job)

I return once again to one of my arguments, which is "would FDR have contracted with a German firm run by Albert Speer to oversee port operations on our Atlantic coast? I mean, after all the Coast Guard and the War Department would still have been "in charge" of security, and we would not have wanted to offend the Germans, now would we?

I submit that FDR would have been facing a hostile Congress and perhaps even impeachment.

Methinks everyone, every one, is missing what is happening here.

This IS a military move by George. His firm attitude, digging in his heels, is all what he has done in the past.

Does anyone remember the AIDS aid to Africa "debacle" in his first term, that had his own party wanting to tar and feather him?

Most folks never knew what that was all about. Soldier of Fortune magazine was the only outlet to put it in perspective.

Because of all that money George sent to Africa, for the Aids fight, (of course) our special forces were able to conduct "training" in areas of that continent that we never, ever had access to, before that point in time. What a boon for the war on terror.

George NEVER let on. Only Robert Brown and his folks dug up the story.

I wonder why the Brits, who have had the concessions for so long, decided to sell now. I wonder why Dubai was selected.

I think there is way more to this deal than we will know right now.

The only thing I have to believe is this:

Klintoon made deals with foreigners to benefit himself.
George makes deals with foreigners to benefit America.

I'll wager money that there is a major quid pro quo going on here, and I hope Colonel Brown's boys can dig up the truth.

Joey Farah just killed three terrorist by typing “DIE, DIE, DIE terrorists”. Please do not underestimate the extreme power of Joey Farah :)

People need to settle down.

Just chew your cud contentedly as you're driven to the slaughterhouse.
