Let's cut to the chase: it's brown skin that's the problem here.
And watch all these people who are crowing about Congress "doing what it's suppose to be doing, listening to their constituents" when Congress doesn't pass anything to fix immigration.
It will be another story then.
LOL Serenity now! Serenity now!
(sorry for the arcane Seinfeld reference for those who don't know it)
What is your point?
That the capabilities of our intelligence services-both domestically and abroad-are deficient?
I agree with you.
This is not a case of guilt by association.
The U.S. pressured the United Arab Emerites to crack down on Islamic terrorism, fraudulent banking transactions, and numerous other kinds of criminal activity prior to 9/11.
They did not listen to our advice because they were more interested in making money.
Dem four-en-ers don't belong herr...ya knaw. git 'im all outta herr. save my job en all.
Nope....I won't need to. Never would anyway, because what will happen is that many will simply be fed up and stay home for the congressional elections, and as I said, You won't like the candidate that gets through the primary for president, so then you will either stay home or vote third party.
This gives a great gift to the rats who only need to sit back and watch.
But I'm not going to stop it any longer. I'm convinced now that the right wing of the party has no business running this country.
So I will vote accordingly, as will the majority of the public. The message will be clear, and unfortunately this is not the first time it has been taught!
Ask Pat Buchanan.....
:)
You think the U.S. Military is UN-American. That's all I need to know about you to ignore anything further you say.
(And the 'cool-aid' [sic] comment put an exclamation point on the worthlessness of your comments to civil discourse).
Pat Buchanan has been politically irrelevant for a while, but he seems to have earned a special place in the psyche of the true Bush loyalists. He's like the boogeyman in the closet to you guys.
SSA Marine is named the number one Marine Terminal Operator by Marine Digest's Readers Poll, as voted on by Shipping Lines.
***
Howard Terminal in Oakland, CA is re-opened to accommodate growing container volumes. SSA Terminals signed a 25 year lease with the Port of Oakland. Matson Navigation Co. will be the sole customer on the 50 acre facility.
***
A five year contract with the Port of Stockton to handle the stevedoring and terminal operations for the port was awarded to SSA Marine.

Who's pretending and telling lies to whom?
It appears that composite support for this deal is no longer a majority. Member support, in the high 50s a couple of weeks ago, is now 50.6% and sinking fast."
IF the poll was run again, I'd venture to say with the latest "facts" the numbers would once again be reversed.
"I also love watching so many people who up to now have claimed to be 'Reagan conservatives' proudly blowing off Ronald Reagan's fundamental faith and belief in the wisdom of the American people."
Yep. According to some sychophantasmic Freepers, suddenly the King and his Court know better than us dummies about EVERYTHING, and thus we should just "shut up."
Because P&O and DP World had an agreement in place that gave them the right of first refusal.
Incrementalism is creeping in. What is wrong with saying "no"? We have no obligation to these despots. Look where appeasement got us with Saddam. We looked the other way while he slaughtered the Kurds that WE encouraged. Isolationism is bad. Supporting miscreants is worse.
And the irony is, that they hurt America to get themselves re-elected.
Poll-driven hysteria rules the day.
LOL!!! Preach it, Jesse!
The self loathing are those, absent the full facts, who sought to block this deal. They showed contempt for our laws, fair hearings and an ally that has far more at risk with the US military on their land than we do with a few terminals in their ownership. We showed ourselves as weak, unable to trust the outcome of a fair process.
Freepmail! :D
I see. I missed the subtle, untagged sarcasm amidst all the gross stupidity here. But...we humiliated a very macho bunch who have sacrificed a great deal of prestige in their own world to work with us for peace and progress. They may find ways to heal this new rift but we just made it far harder for them and far, far harder for other nations on the fence with us to trust us.
