Then I fail to see the problem. They'll be using local labor, not bring over planeloads of UAE citizens to work in the ports.
Unless Sean would like to make the case that our local unions are full of terrorists just waiting for the UAE leadership to show up and give them their marching orders, he's on shaky ground.
On 03/31 we'll find out how much UAE supports us, when the UN voting records for 2005 are out. Last time out, they were not very supportive of us. I'm curious as to where they stand on stuff and this will be some indicator.
I am also curious about the particulars of this new review. Like who will conduct it. The same ones would did the original? We'll see. Something else could turn up in the meantime.
I never really listened to him that often, my wife was his big fan until last week. She's the one who brought his lying to my attention.
Rockefeller need jail time!
For the record, I think that you're over-simplifying quite substantially.
What's he lying about? Be specific.
LOL! Now he's attacking Hillary for doing the same thing. This guy is amazing.
Agreed again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the ping!! I am late today. Just got back from Lowes-- never realized Hubby is a "check-out counter junkie". They put all those gadgets there just for him!! Worse than a bunch of kids
The UAE didnt abandon us on Iraq like the UN did both before and after.
RE: UAE AND ISRAEL
Support and recognize are two different things.
Now, can we move on? Atlanta is burning!
Now silly little Sean is missing the point.
Oh...yeah....that little blurb about Rockefeller and Durbin???
Do you really think that the MSM or these talk shows (except Rush) will bother with THAT...when the sense a total revolt by the Republican party over Bush's "turning over our ports to terrorist nations?"
Now...I don't say the above last sentence as a slam at any of US that are still on the fence...but, we all have to admit that whether we are ultimately for it or against it...
The DEMS are making MUCH more of a "doomsday scenario" out of it than is warranted.
I'm getting confused!
LOL................. you are way too smart for this thread.
He keeps saying its about controlling, managing, operating or running our ports. In reality it is about managing a commercial facility. There is a tremendous difference and it has been brough to his attention.
DPW will have no control over the ports or their security.
Hey, you and I could become new best friends. LOL!
Bells are ringing, Sean. INVASION. SEDITION. MOVE ON!!!
As to who will do the next investigation....
Unless you want the White House to break the law...the same group will do this next investigation...albeit with probably Rummy and Chertoff and Snow at the helm..rather than their aides...
Now...if you want it otherwise...there will have to be a new law.
P&O is not government controlled. The British cgov. has no control over the sale. The Dubai based co. is a subsidiary of a government owned company. Perhaps would be best to be specific and clear.
