I take it noone answered you the last 4 times you posted this exact question and picture?

LOL!!

If _____ (insert name of favorite blogger/pundit) said it, it must be accurate.

[Antoninus]

Michelle Malkin is a better reporter than 99% of the losers who pretend to be journalists at the WAPO or the Old Gay Lady. Well done!

[Yo-Yo]

As my husband said last night to me... "______(insert name of favorite blogger/pundit) is sometimes wrong". Some more than others. :)

Gee michelle, I'll trust a President who has killed more islamic terrorists, than all other presidents combined, rather than a keyboard commando who thinks she kills islamofascists with keystrokes on a keyboard.

If Bush declared the Constitution null and void, and ordered Soviet-style central planning, you would be on the forefront of the parade cheering it on.

You are sickeningly sycophantic to Your Glorious Leader.

[mfnorman]

God Bless You!

I know that we have the hottest political thinkers on our side but I wonder who the hotties on the liberal side are?

[Reagan Man]

President Bush = Commander In Chief

Dane = Chief Bush Sycophant

Have a citation for that "fact"?

[Recovering_Democrat]

Malkin is fine, but she's worked up too much over this. I agree with the WSJ.

[trisham]

The issue is not whether day-to-day, on-the-ground conditions at the ports would change. They presumably wouldn't. The issues are whether we should grant the demonstrably unreliable UAE access to sensitive information and management plans about our key U.S ports, which are plenty insecure enough without adding new risks, and whether the decision process was thorough and free from conflicts of interest.

*************

Exactly right.

You had to ask...

AND they seem to have the same sentiments as the rioters all
over the world. "Westernized" UAE, my foot.

The cartoons have prompted boycotts of Danish goods throughout the Muslim world. In Dubai, United Arab Emirates, travel agents said travelers were not booking flights to Denmark or Norway.

Also in UAE, a university professor was fired after distributing copies of the cartoons to her students. The nation's minister of education, Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak al Nahan, said he ordered Clauda Keepoz's dismissal because "her behavior has nothing to do with the freedom of expression."

Protests against “blasphemous” cartoons mounts in Islamic nations
Jan. 31,2006

[snip] Burnt flags, political condemnation, and appeals for a boycott are involving even traditionally moderate Islamic nations, like Jordan, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait. The Arab League and Organizations from the Islamic who announced their intention to appeal to the United Nations for a resolution blocking all forms of attacks against religious faiths.

But the wave of protest continues. “It’s cultural terrorism, not freedom of expression” intoned Mohammad al-Dhaheri, Minister for Justice and Islamic affairs of the United Arab Emirates.


http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0201/dailyUpdate.html
In an editorial, the Khaleej Times of the United Arab Emirates expressed dismay that the Danish government has not formally apologized for the episode.

The prime minister continues to defend the insensitive newspaper in the name of ‘media freedom’. All freedom including that of the media comes with responsibility. Mocking people’s deeply held religious beliefs and sentiments is no media freedom. It’s sheer and unpardonable callousness.

Branches of French hypermarket Carrefour in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have also stopped selling Danish goods. "Danish products have been removed from all (UAE) branches of Carrefour," one official said.

I am trying to find Michelle's column from the other day where she said she got info from a lawyer involved in this deal that said this has less to do with buying the ports and more to do with getting around Islamic law about charging interest rates on borrowed money.


This deal, in effect, uses a loophole to create the single largest Muslim 'stock exchange' in the world, practically overnight.


These hypocrites are so evil they find loopholes in their own religion...

President Bush is usually right, but on occasion he's wrong and it's our right to let him know it! Just as he made a mistake with Harriet Miers, he's made a mistake on this port deal. Kudos to Michelle for taking up the issue, and for exposing the Democrats who are hypocritically taking advantage of the president's error.
