I wish Walmart would just announce that they've decided to expand into commercial port operations. Between the exploding head on FR and in the longshoreman's unions it would sound like quite a fire fight.
Until the most recent elections inside the Palestinian Territories, AMERICA was the largest monetary supporter of the PA. I guess we shouldn't run the ports either!

What's truly pathetic is how the "true conservatives" are adopting DU rhetoric ("Bush is stupid," "Bush is a crook," "the Bush family does business with bin Laden," et cetera)
SOP for them.
The sheeple are waking up and looking around because of stories like the port deal. What they see is our Republican leadership saying we have NO security problems, while our borders remain wide-open. They see us in a war against terror, yet we allow UAE to manage US ports. When the sheeple take a close look at who owns many American businesses, not only will they be shocked, they will be pissed. Some of us have drawn a line in the sand already with GW. Others will follow shortly.
That's the best you can come up with, mafia boss? Hey, if you're ignorant about something, it is best to shut up and learn. But nobody here is going to make anyone hide their ignorance.
Good point....however, you forget that the UAE was the first country to support the Hamas AFTER the recent elections (when all other countries did otherwise). The other "ally" in the region-Saudi Arabia-has joined the UAE now.
This port story reminds me of the situation in the mid eighties when the Japanese were buying up the United States and legally taking over Hawaii...
Since General Franks stated that the UAE was instrumental in our success in Afghanistan, and that they spied on the Taliban to feed us intel, your argument seems to lose steam. You have to have contacts with the enemy, to find out what they are doing.

People like you make me wish that willful stupidity caused physical pain.
Keep dreaming. This article is spot on. If the RATS run anyone even remotely normal, coherent, and not completely out of their minds, they will win.
"When Bush Bots Attack" will start now! LOL! I agree with Wes that this President is throwing away our advantage in this next election. I know the President has a good heart, and he's truly trying to change things in the ME, but you must have a sense of reality when it comes to our security. Now I see that it's actually 21 ports, and not the 6 we were originally told about. Unfriggin' real!
At least she didn't infer the President was a traitor. Where have I heard that line before...

I want to thank them for the money, but quit funding Hamas!
I'm sorry. I had this quaint notion that the President and the Secretary of Defense would have more access to information, especially in a time of war, than would I.
Maybe I am reading this incorrectly, but does the act of Congress in the 90s, (early 90s or later 90s?) mean that security regarding corporate dealings, trumps national security?
Amen and Amen !!!! Wes Pruden does NOT speak for me or millions of Americans who do support the President.
We need LEADERSHIP!
