If you look at recent events, from bombings to beheadings to cartoon flag burnings, they all should be studied from behind a loaded gun, IMHO.
Discretion is the better part of valor. Safety off.
Yes. Kings been having a cow about this since early last week. That was why I did a search on CFIUS online. It peaked my curiosity and I wanted to know what it said.
EXCELLENT OBSERVATION!
I see what you are. I'll stay away from your posts with pleasure and please don't post to me again. Conforming to my request would be proper Internet etiquette.
TSA would be much worse had Bush caved in to democrat demands for more unionization and such.
And yes, TSA has prevented numerous terrorist attacks.
I know; you know that I know you are a troll.

This isn't your house; as long as you continue to post misinformation on this forum, I'll post to you any time I want to.

Not really.
For one state to try and kill the former leader of another state is certainly reason to go to war and I would have supported that completely. Actually, that should have been Clinton's response.
Don't you understand? Every single topic, regardless of what it is, has to have something to do with BORDERS.
By guaging a poster (You) who is actually on a war-footing with a lot of supposed Conservatives, Americans that post a lot here, I'd say America has forgotten 9/11/01 and actually believes the war on our shores is over now because of the fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Huh? You are so out of line here. George Bush has done more to improve the security of this country than any other single person I can name.
Yes. Looks like it's going to happen, which is good.
I'll second that...(since Reagan, of course)
The POTUS has made a boo boo here.
See Rush Limbaugh's web site and listen on many links!!!
I understand exactly how Ports work, what Longshoreman do and why it was horrible to allow Chinese Communists to entrench themselves in our Western ports. Which is why, in a war with elements in every Mohammedan nation, the UAE is someone that can be a friend over there, but has NO business owning operations over our ports. Period. No stinking Communists, no stinking Jihadists.
or
Documents obtained by the AP show the Bush administration's conditions for approving a ports sale
Which makes a snappier headline?
Actually, I only see one headline, and it looks like any of a thousand I see at the supermarket checkstand. The other statement looks like a line item on a typical agenda sheet for a mid day business meeting, right in between c) yawn and e) order lunch.
I've been reading hundreds of posts and about a dozen articles to fill in the people in my daily life who usually haven't even heard of the issues of mass importance discussed/dissected on these pages, their own mostly unwanted but annoyingly accurate personal data miner of sorts.
Other than the 21 knee pop salute being given an eerie Teen Idol competition status, I have yet to hear anything remotely significant on how UAE businessmen owning an American port operated by American union longshoremen is going to make it any easier for a hidden bomb to be loaded on a container. WTF difference does it make who owns it - the country that spawned the shoe bomber and george galloway, or an arab country, one we're not at war with in an area where we're trying to create financial diplomacy?
Which deal is better, the one where we gave Turkey $Billions$ and they left us hanging in a very dangerous way, or the one where we normalize relations in an area critical to our security to do so, that costs us nothing.
But there I go getting off topic.
I would like to hear/read someone convincingly describe how much easier it would be under UAE ownership than British to shoot up Ted Kennedy with the Bubonic Plague, Ebola, Flesh Eating Bacteria, Small Pox, and the Bird Flu, load him in a refrigerated (hey, I got a heart!) container with a couple dozen cases of fortified wine, ship him off on a whirlwind round trip to France, Germany, Somalia, Venezuela, China, and back to Massachusets, all without ever breaking the seal on the container.
How exactly is that going to be easier now than it was before?
That's what I want to know.
