Rush isn't backing off.
If you've listened to him all week he took the position of researching the issue before committing to a position. Which is what I did, since I knew little of the deal and nothing of ports. Most of the rest took the position of hanging the admin in conservative MSM. He behaved responsibly when one doesn't know all the facts. Wish so many others had followed the same lead.
I totally agree with you. I honestly believe that GW has done what he has felt deep down inside was the right thing to do for America for the last five years. This is no different. At this point in a presidential career, when a president normally is concerned about building a legacy, similar to the Slickmeister, why in the world would GW change course and do something radical that is not good for America? He wouldn't because Miss Laura would slap the siht out of him. When someone has problems with a foreign nation nation creeping into everyday American life, all they have to do to remind themselves of globalization is look at the label on their collars. It may not be right, but that's the way it is........
None whatsoever. Even the Saudis own a similar concern in a U.S. port.
I just heard that Dubai is willing to delay part of it's 6.8 Billion Dollar deal so everyone can be reassured that they will not be a threat to anyones security
Alan Colmes is the same way only worse. He's become like a wonk. No thoughts of his own, just talking points.
I had him turned off by about 3:15 (not my custom to do so) and played a CD of classical music done on traditional Russian instruments.
Listening to Sean today was more depressing than annoying. His entire argument was one of fear. Tony Snow's analysis is more holistic and speaks intelligently of what is likely to happen if the deal is quashed as well as if it goes forward.
I also heard that the hearings will be accompanied by flash cards, crayons for taking notes, a nap, and cookies and milk on break.
They really sound like some shady characters Check this out
LOL
I turned him off at 3:20 PM (in my office and my reception area) . . . We listened to Frank Sinatra instead!

That's great.....but will this make the rats happy....
Hmmmmmm..........I think that's what's called 'delusions of grandeur' jimbo. You may want to rethink that position.
you are saying that not one US company rents a terminal on US soil? I find that hard to believe
They are giving the critics time to hang themselves. I wonder why the same people shocked over this deal haven't been concerned at all that a Saudi company already has operations in one of our ports?
Sounds like Dubai is behaving more civilized then many of our political representatives.
Terrorists aren't really looking to take out farms and trees. They are after the economy of the U.S.A. We remain the central target while people in the rest of the country can tell us that there is nothing to be alarmed about.
Maybe if you lived here and experienced it first hand instead of through the idiot box you'd understand the issue a bit more clearly.
They got out of the business. Just like our merchant fleet; at the end of WWII it was the largest in the world. It was pretty much gone by the mid-70s. The unions pretty much drove them out of business...and it's the unions that are pushing this issue.
They are, assuming this deal goes through, the LEAST likely country in the world to attack us.
See Post #114, CWOJ nailed it
