outstanding news...
Still, it's sad day when we the people must defend our national security as well as our sovereignty in the courts...especially since that's what we elect presidents and congress to do.
In other words...give up! Be happy!
Funny that you don't.
Oh come on, what difference does it make who the president is, it's a bad deal for us no matter how you look at it. I would be just as against it if Clinton were attempting to pull this and I might add so would everybody else in the conservative world, and justifiably so.
Maybe some folks think the password is.....Dubai sent me!
It's not funny, but the ignorance is breathtaking.
Using the word "intellectual" in the same sentence as "Hannity" is obscene.
Oh how I wish William F Buckley was reincarnated as a young radio host. Sean Hannity is a moron.
And what gives you any credibility?
Well, thanks for the response. I just see your two points: (1) death cult, (2) ok to run the ports, as somewhat in opposition to each other. More than a coast guard cutter can or should have to deal with.
UAE princes go falconing with Osama and fund Hamas.
I don't want any UAE company having any say or involvement in U.S. domestic port operations.
Buchanan is as relevant to me as Schumer........
That's pretty much what it is.
not too many American shipping firms left.

The facts are the facts. The UAE royals were supporters of Bin Laden and the Taliban. Their country was a financial stataging area for the 9/11 hijacking and other AQ operations. They refuse to recognize Israel's right to exist and will not allow holders of Israeli passports to set foot in their country. If Rush was from Israel, they'd confine him and the airport and eventually deport him.
Was the Longshoreman who called Rush a fabrication too? Whose voice was that that I heard then? The one who threatened Rush?? My imagination?
The money still smells the same.
Did I say I was supporting the Prez?..No I didn't. I posted a fact...that neither supports nor detracts from the Prez...
The logical conclusion of the arguement against the DWP - P&O deal is that we should then kick out all Arab owned or controlled port operators.
Now explain to me how that is going to enhance our security again?
Okay. Singing the same tune, Bush, Carter and billbears. Gotcha.
The Unions put pressure on the Congresspeople, they write bills requiring further regulation of foreign companies which gives workers more money.
This is always how the unions have operated and got their way.
We are creating the market as we speak, my friend.
And they have cut all ties to them and also gave us great support during the Afghanaistan and Iraq campaigns.
