STFU "son".
Judging from the goateed child I see on your profile page and your earnest use of a term such as "STFU", I don't believe you're in a position to be calling anybody "son".
And I don't care if you've been to the frigging moon. :)

GOP House Panel Votes to Block Ports Deal and comments
There is a comment there from someone actually involved in international shipping.
The deal is dead. The president has been told by both the house and senate that any veto would be overridden.
But is anyone really surprised that the Dubai royal family would resort to threats and blackmail?
No, you misunderstand, and perhaps I was not specific enough. Some areas will westernize over time. The UAE is a major example of that. Iraq is heading that way strongly, though the insurgency is slowing it down a bit. Iran had a chance until the population let themselves be too cowed by the Mullahs.
That's where the spectrum goes from westernizing to full-out war.
Some of the Islamic world will respond to the miracle that is western culture, some will have to be removed. We are in danger of poisoning the well with UAE, making it harder to implement our removal process.
I have no reason to trust Arabs. I hope the deal does not go through. Let Bush veto it. That'll help the Republicans up for re-election.
So pissing on the head of a vital ally is ok with you?
He needs Dubai to do Iran.
It isn't anything like that. Put down the hookah.
ROFL!
I've asked for facts and back up and of course, he has none. Zip.
How about just avoiding my posts and not posting to me? That is what I do with yours. (I figure it is okay to ask you not to post to me since I have seen others do it).
It's racial profiling. Where's the outrage over Communist Red China controlling the West Coast?
They can. America is not the only game in town. Fortress America: raise the drawbridge, ready the boiling oil, and prepare for the siege!
If they kick out the US military their neighbors will have their way with them and the emirs will be bloated corpses.
"And DP World's specific involvement in that event was:"
DUBAI's THE COUNTRY WHICH OWNS DP WORLD's involvement (even though this has been beat to death)
* money laundering for terrorists
* initial safe harbor for terrorists
* travel mechanism for terrorists
* bin laden connections with terrorists
I sorely do not want to do a cut and paste. So don't tempt me. The sides have been drawn. Problem is the American people don't have to be elected, so that is why in general, 3/4 of everyone is against it. Explain that my fellow conservative friend. The infamous "MSM"? Puleeeez. There is enough info out their for everyone to discern what is going on, and initial concerns.

Old adage: Politics makes strange bedfellows.
On this issue, which bed do you want to get in -- the one with the fleas or the one with the bedbugs.
Please don't misapply Marshall's remark. He was not speaking of American Know Nothings pissing on the head of a vital ally.
This isn't blackmail. This is how business operates. Sheesh.
Do you have any clue how many countries use the UAE to manage their ports?
True friends of America support Israel; they don't prohibit goods going to or from Israel from entering or being shipped through the ports they control. Somehow I do not think that America's Jewish population wants people that hate their guts controling American ports.
