Maybe S.P.E.C.T.R.E is really behind it all.

Looks like Bush didn't bother to read his own intelligence reports before defending the ports deal. This is going to add more heft to that political tsunami that threatens to crash down on the White House.

Translation..... They have three Paki tea boys serving the government office buildings.

We don't have to act desperate about this port deal. Too many here are jumping fearing we won't be liked. There's much about the UAE that's not understood. As to who needs who the most?

The UAE isn't a charitable organization that's giving us the right to dock there for free. We pay them. But that's not why were important to them. We're important because if we weren't there the Iranians would swoop over and take their oil fields. And if we said "dock our ships for free or we're pulling out, they would dock our ships for free. Now, the relationship is equal. When the war is over, it will be unequal in our favor.

My suggestion to the scardy cats who are afraid the UAE won't like them? They should stop acting so desperate. It's not attractive.

Alqaeda sympathizers are right here in our own congress.

Ah.....SPecial Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion. Do you think a Walther PPK in 7.65mm or .380 ACP is enough to halt Al Qaeda????

Note to Al Qaeda: Jack Bauer is a real person and he is in that van 2 vehicles behind you.......

I'm just standing by my principles. We shouldn't lease our sovriegnty to ANY foriegn governments and I want to know what kind of proof we'll have that money won't find it's way into the hands of terrorists.

[Riley]

Why would they announce this, if it were true?
It seems rather to one's own disadvantage to publicly point out any kind of covert asset or operation of the type that the announcement describes.

I wonder if this isn't just more smoke and mirrors from 'truce offer' Al Qaeda.

.....We pay them....

Because we do business because they ,the GCC, are capitalists and perhaps the most pure capitalists of all.

"We don't have to act desperate about this port deal. Too many here are jumping fearing we won't be liked. There's much about the UAE that's not understood. As to who needs who the most?"

But then NO ONE will be running U.S. ports!! AND we'll be considered "racists" and xenophobes"!! /sarc

[Liberty Valance]

I question the timing of this being Bush's fault.

[Rokke]

"Looks like Bush didn't bother to read his own intelligence reports before defending the ports deal."

Or, just maybe instead of relying on propaganda statements from Al Qaeda, he knows the reality of the situation instead. It is amazing how suddenly 4 year old Al Qaeda propaganda is suddenly taken as the gospel truth.

[Just mythoughts]

Ah well a case could be made that our very own liberals were and are foot soldiers in Saddam's army.

[FreedomPoster]

>>lease our sovriegnty

Please. Running parts of port operations is not "leasing our sovriegnty [sic]".

Many foreign-owned companies are already running similar operations in the U.S., including Hutchison Whampoa.

[texianyankee]

"Why would they announce this, if it were true?" My thoughts, too. Nothing better than to make false claims - al qaeda is good at that.

[dr_who_2]

Probably, but Al Qaeda, Zarqawi, bin Laden, and Co. are pretty desperate to stay in first on our threat list right now. Anyone can make the front page by blowing something up. But even that's hard to do if you're spending most of your time hiding under rocks so that you won't get blown up.

[raybbr]

But that's not why were important to them. We're important because if we weren't there the Iranians would swoop over and take their oil fields. And if we said "dock our ships for free or we're pulling out, they would dock our ships for free.

Why is it that so few here understand this concept?
