Pray tell, Miss Cleo?

You can't keep posting your projections and dire fears without specifying.

I have NO idea what a "snack cake is either, but obviously YOU know only too well what they are and how one eats them.

Your projection complex is far worse than even I had assumed.

I suggest that you go wash your hands and face, get someone to help you post, and explain the riles of posting to you.

BTW.....your excuses and personal attacks aren't even on the first grade level. Go find a six year old to help you formulate your next insult filled reply.

You're completely wrong about that and everything else; for that matter.

What or who is Cleo? :)

It's strictly my opinion, nothing more or less. Since I've been wrong in the past many times like everyone else feel free to disregard everything I say.

That's all any of the nay sayers do...post their own hysteric delusions and call them "fact".

You opined the consequences will be worse if the sale to DWP goes thruough. That's nonsense given the facts.

Miss Cleo is a fortune teller.

Yes it's only my opinion but it's based on what I'm reading. Congressmen are saying across the country people are up in arms over the deal and they've never seen them this worked up over an issue. If that's true they need to cut their losses and move on before things escalate. Remember both of our goals are the same, I don't want to see a democratic Congress either.

Please do enlighten me on EXACTLY what the UAE is paying $6.8b for??

P&O. The purchase of that UK Company will make DPW the worlds 3rd largest shipping company.

I heard that CBP screened all containers for radiation at the terminals of origin as part of CSI.

That may be true. I'm not totally up to speed on CSI. One thing to remember, CSI is not in every port that ships to the US, so we have to check them here also. It is possible, that the ones checked overseas through CSI may not get checked here. I'll check on out Intra net site next time I'm at work.

They reacted to the fabricated crisis! MSM loves this as do democrats and GOP congree people up for reelection this year.

The back peddling has started. Hastert, Grahma, even Schumer, who knew better when he lied because his damn wife is highly placed at HY's port authority.

It's politics at its lowest --- playing on the fears of national security and trashing the toughest man in the WOT (POTUS).

I don't believe for a New York moment that this deal caught them "off guard" or that they did not know the facts.

Why do you believe this? Even Bush himself said he only recently found out about it, which makes his threat of vetoing any law blocking this deal all the more strange.

"Slapping"?? Lol...

Am I really being obtuse, or merely being provocative?

You want the deal to be overturned, perhaps leading to the loss of the WOT, because of POLITICS?

He made the veto threat AFTER he got the facts from the committee.

Hastert is supposed to be doing something about it Tuesday but who knows maybe they are backpeddaling. I still think at the very least the deal will be extended and not cancelled. Washington is just way too unpredicatable for me to ever be certain about anything.

It's politics for the democrats, pure hatred for the MSM and many of the third party types.
