There just must be something here under the surface. Something unseen. Something undisclosed. The Bush White House just can't be this blind to the legitimate concerns of the people and of those in Congress who are concerned about this move.

Okay, I'll start.

1- Bush SUDDENLY decided that the US needed to 'wean itself off of oil' -- ahem, this from an OILMAN? My conjecture is that BUSH has been PAID OFF some how and some way. Follow the money.

2- Bush is acting 'dumb' to the clamor against the Nation of Muslim Caliphs as if it's a 'bigot' thing. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

3- Liberals will call Conservatives all kinds of names to try to shift the focus from ISLAM to anything else. However, SOME Liberals are looking at this with renewed vision. This issue may bring some Liberals and Conservatives together.

Follow the Money. What's the pay-off? Where is this going? I, for one, am afraid for my grandchildren.

Bush is acting like Andy Jackson did when the Cherokee won their lawsuit all the way to the Supreme Court, and he refused to abide by the decision.

Tell me where the money trail leads.

Actually I was thinking of checking the White House basement for pods.

I agree with you I smell am money trail here...

It might be more than money.

Some have suggested this is a deal to set up groundwork to go after Iran. My concern is that if Iraq is such a mess that we can't use it as a base, and have to go to Dubai, then we have big problems.
