Well....there is at least one thing very WRONG in that article..
The Senators are NOT willing to wait until the 45 day review is up....they are wanting to deal with this today..most of them.
Dorgan stood up on the Senate floor this morning and said that he doesn't need 45 days...he didn't need 45 MINUTES...to say NO WAY.
In fact, I have little better to say for all the knee-jerkers on the forum who have been against this.
Do some research, look at the friggin' MAP for pete's sake.
Then tell me why it is a good idea to pi$$ off one of our few friends in the region.
How one shipping company purchasing another shipping company's interests in 6 ports got this blown out of proportion would be beyond me were it not the pet project of the anti-Republican crowd in the MSM and on Capitol Hill.
We lose a strategic ally. How else is the ruling family to take this but as a personal insult? I'd be pi$$ed off, too!
The possibility of any operation against Iran succeeding without major problems getting tankers through the Straits of Hormuz is now lower than the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot.
Of course, any failure by the current Administration to stop Iran from obtaining Nukes will be touted as a "FAILURE", any problems encountered, such as a 10% drop in available oil supply during such an operation (should it occur) will be touted by the Socialists worldwide (including our pet Democrats and RINOS at home) as "BUSH'S FAULT" and 10% would set oil prices at easily $100 or more per barrel.
STUPID, STUPID, Stuck on STUPID!
As for the Pubbies who voted against this without doing any d@mn homework, they should be cashiered right along with the Dems, just for being suckers. To me that demonstrates that they will jump to make decisions without facts, and right now, that is one thing this country can d@mned well do without.
Kind of what Schumer said on Wednesday, something like "I don't need 45 days, I don't need 45 seconds".
