"The scurrilous comments directed at the United Arab Emirates by Michelle Malkin have the potential to assist al-Qaeda recruiting in that country, and thus do more damage than the port deal would have done."

As soon as this think blew up, I couldn't help but think of the danger the UAE is now in. Al Qaeda is certainly learning what a great ally the UAE is and has been to the USA. Learning about how much they have helped us militarily got the attention of many in this country this week.But, I'm also sure that it got the attention of Al Qaeda leaders as well. Working that closely with the "infidel" can surely bring some attacks their way.

"the port controversy is more about the unknown chaotic murderous future of the middle east, not about how good they are behaving today."

Exactly. Amazing how many here are having shortsighted tunnel vision.

" ... deliberately working to stampede me with distortions and outright lies" ... would seem to be more correct than not, based on past evidence.


I am still in shock over VP Cheney's attempting to assassinate that lawyer, because he was covering up an adulterous relationship while being drunk.

You're right.

When will Lawrence O'Donnell be on Olberforehead to reveal the whole ports issue was a White House scam to get attention away from Dick Cheney's drunken shotgun rampage?

We will soon see Hillary and Chuckie come out and say the White House betrayed "our great ally Dubai, as well as the congress and the American people" and that they were both duped, and Bush should be impeached for supporting the port sale, even though they both support it now, too.

Were Saturday Night doing anything remotely as good as that parody, I would still be watching.


Uh ... It was parody, wasn't it?

LOL

The only good thing about Hillary and Chuckie is that they are in New York.


Olberforehead indeed!

As long as we keep sending the UAE our jets and weapons, they'll be our friends. We don't need to give them our ports.

in the UAE they strongly suggested that he not leave the resort areas.

The same is told to every visitor to downtown Baltimore.

They pay for what they get.

You still haven't figured it out.

"We" don't have any ports.

Port Authorities have ports. Port Authorities don't give them away.

Well I have two friends living there now, and the word of Rush Limbaugh and Tommy Franks that #6 is not a true reflection of Dubai.

I know two other guys that work at the State Department that are Ham Operators, and helped their friend (the Crown Prince) build a Contest Radio Station. None of these people see Dubai in that light.

I was too scared not to, I was a fraid he'd send the Lil' Savages after me (kinda like the Buchanan Brigades, but they listen to show tunes).

Unlike Hunter S. Thompson, though, I imagine Savage will have himself shot from a cannon BEFORE he's dead.

Someday Savage will say something like the AIDS comment that got him knocked off TV, and get himself in hot water. I don't want to see anyone, from any political stripe, getting knocked off the air over that PC crap, but that's what will happen to him, or he will get some disease and go into Morton Downey "I love everyone now" mode.

He certainly won't become interesting, though. He's the audio equivalent of a broken glass and rusty nail milkshake with a sandpaper chaser.
