"It has been a lifelong endeavor for me. If you knew me, you'd know that."

I guess I must have missed your interest in the last exchange of commercial port operations? Or your concern over the UAE firm that already handles such operations. Or your concern about the Saudi firm that handles them in another port.

The very same operations that Chuck Schumer knows about just like he had to know that DP World was a bidder on this contract months ago...but wasn't concerned about till now.

Now you're just being patronizing, rude, and even more insulting.

You are not the only authoritative voice on this issue, nor are you the only one with a stake in it. You are also not the only one who can speak with authority on the national security implications of the deal.

I guess I must have missed your interest in the Middle East when I was willingly deployed there for months at a time, separated from my family, participating in active combat operations. Come to think of it, I don't remember seeing too many Coast Guard members in my many trips there.

See, two can play at your game. It doesn't feel good to be talked down to, does it? It doesn't feel good to have your interest in national security issues, legitimate questions about those issues or your service to our country denigrated, does it? It doesn't feel good to have someone make insulting comparisons or take your statements out of context to misrepresent your position or question your intelligence or motives, does it?

Over and out.
