"A shame that Cal Thomas didn't research the material first...he doesn't usually make such stupid mistakes."

Cal is totally wrong on this one. But I believe he's a big enough man to eat crow later on one of his "round table" shows.

Fer Pete's Sake! WE (The United States of America) have these same sorts of "port rights" all over the freaking globe! Hello? Do they think our Navy ships just pull up to any handy dock? ROFLMAO!

As the EX-Wife of a Navy SEAL...believe me...there are PLENTY of "ports of call" that our troops can visit. *Smirk*

Have you seen Fox New Watch today?

I missed it and will have to see the replay.

I think Cal just got intellectually lazy and relied upon the MSM for his research. I seriously doubt that he would deliberately lie about such an important issue.

On the other hand, there are some "conservative" pundits who continue to perpetuate the lie about control of the ports AFTER learning the fallacy in that.

They are a different story all together.
