Good morning, fellow Snowflakes! Here’s your Tony Snow Show ping.
Once again, I will have to sign off immediately and will not be able to participate in today’s Thread. Thank you as always for the quality and quantity of your posts. :-)
Thank you as always!

Interesting bit of information from Fox & Friends this morning.
Brian Kilmeade reports that there was no opposition to the Port plan until Chuckie Schumer came on their show (and knowing Chuckie, every other show that would have him)last week and commented on the sale of the ports.
This all happen in November.
Chuckie really hit pay dirt on this one. It would be interesting to track the time line on this one.
Oh and this phrase may sound familiar but, "HE PLAYED ON OUR FEAR."
Bush yesterday said he was conducting foreign policy with the UAE deal. Can someone please explain to the President that we have had quite enough of this nonsense. Open borders and now this debacle are glaring reminders that the President doesn't take border security seriously, and it will now include our port systems as well. DUMB!!
Waiting to see who won the lottery -- sounds like 8 guys from Con Agra Plant in Lincoln.
HMMM -- Lincoln, Ne birthplace of Dick Cheney. Is there something he isn't telling us??
Maybe some long lost distant relative?? Do they live on Old Cheney Road????
Maybe one of them will adopt me
Who Runs Dubai? Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum. He's a poet as well. Please read his lovely poem:
Example, his poem on the death of the Palestinian boy, Mohammed al Dura:
To the soul of the child martyr, Mohammed Al Durra
Pressed back, without supporter
A child defenceless, confronting aggression
Hiding, the bullets of tyrants
Have no mercy for a child, so young
Seeking shelter, slaughter him the criminals
Savages, whose tyranny never waned
Oh Mohammed, in Paradise of the eternal
Oh Mohammed, your voice reverberates throughout
Oh Mohammed, with you, the God of the Worlds
Whose mercy enfolds you forever
Oh Mohammed, who saw you grieved
And all, if we could, would sacrifice
A thousand million, the Muslims
All for you, Mohammed, fathers
Alas, where is the peace of the just?
The peace you seek is futile
Lost it, without doubt, the usurpers
When allowed their hatred to renew
And boiled the blood of Arabs, East and West
When Sharon visited the mosque
Oh Arabs, comrades for years
Bury that which passed, as became
Our greatest concern, to defend against aggressors
Who against Al Aqsa their aggression began
My nation, would that you unite
In lines, terrified then the enemies
Follow Zayed, the leader of the wise
Who called for unity and initiated
Oh Saladin, oh the greatest conquerors
Oh Omar, oh the dignified and the generous
The state of the nation allures the greedy
We seek naught but unity to satisfy

Makin' a list,
Checkin' it twice,
Gonna find out who's naughty and nice,
Dubai is comin' to town.....
Here at the Port of Tampa, the contract for lease operations is managed by a SEATTLE COMPANY. This contract was just terminated no-bid in favor of Dubai Ports World.
The fix is in Tony, don't be a New World Order Stooge.
Got here, got my coffee.
Maybe we should get back to basics on the UAE Port thing:
Two offshore companies have just completed a business deal which they have advised us about in accordance with agreements they both have with the US.
Everybody in the Administration has signed off on it.
What does Congress have to do with this?

Lobbying firms associated with ex-Democratic Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle and Madeleine Albright (Clinton’s Secretary of State) have been working (paid subscription only link) to secure approval of the purchase by Dubai. One would think that our leaders, even when out of office, would care more about their nation than their bank accounts.This hopefully will give impetus to a bill (drafted by Republican Congressman Mike Rogers of Michigan) working its slow way through Congress that would bar... |

TWO of the "Toledo Three" are American citizens!! We can't trust Americans with our security. We must prevent Americans from taking control of our ports!!!!
