"It's dead, Jim."
This is another example of the Bush tin ear about the concerns of constituents.
Wow, the voice of reason. If the hysterical congress stops this deal and then the UAE retaliates by kicking us out of their port, what have we gained? Too much ignorant screaming about subjects that little is really known by the screamers. I hate all politicians.
I don't remember the democRATs raise much of a stink over that deal even though COSCO is deeply implicated of illegally importing AK-47s for dispersal to some gangs in Oakland.
Really? I remember that 9/11 ringleader Mohammed Atta lived in Germany and several of the 9/11 hijackers lived in Pakistan before moving to San Diego. The shoe bomber came from England and the London subway bombers resided there too. And so on and so on. Singling out one country (the UAE) seems ridiculous to me, especially given the fact that they are behaving like an ally not an enemy.
I always remain suspect when the dems become involved in something like this, pretending to be strong on National Security.
A correct and fine analysis - but a stampeding cattle herd isn't going to stop to listen to it.
I smelled a rat from the beginning.
To the Democrats its nothing to do with National Secuirty but Monetary Security.
No problems with Dubai World world...they beat everyone to the punch and sold their port interest.
Meanwhile, Bush had success with his India visit and signed back into law the Patriot Act. It was an distraction don't you think or the liberals would be tinkering around with the Patriot Act to make it ineffective.
Dubai has now performed coitus interruptus. The deal is dead. They have pulled out.
Great idea pissing off the only Arabs who have a half-decent work ethic! Can all the Uber-Patriots now demand we stop giving truckloads of money year after year to Egypt and Palestine who have no skills except killing Jews? You obviously have pull with your congressmen.
Bush doesn't have constituents. He's an executive, not a representative.
Dubai is selling these contracts. It is over.
People elected him, or at least we elected the electors. We are his constituents. Otherwise there would be no presidential rating polls.
You have made a distinction without a difference. Bush Sr. and W. - tin ears.
So you prefer a President who acts as a weathervane and govern by polls rather than principles, eh?
Personally, I'll take the guy who does what is right rather than what is popular. You don't like what he does, elect someone else.
<< I smelled a rat from the beginning.

Talking about port and other areas of "security" the "Democrats," in just an iceberg's tip of examples, have recently given away our Panama Canal and participated in the Peking predators' abjectly corrupt absolute takeover of the ports and every other facility at both ends of it and the same murderous gang's and its Singapore pals takeover of several left coast ports including the former United States Naval Base at Long Beach.
But in every way as evil and infinitely more hypocritical is the "Democrats" complicity with the real owners, operators and controllers of and source of most insecurity at the nation's ports and what's left after decades of mob raping, looting and pillaging of the US Mercahnt Marine: -- the Mafia and its murderously-controlled mobbed-up unions. Every one of which launders millions of mob moolah into the hands of such of its shills, consigliere and good fellows as mrs cli'ton, Schemin' Schumer, Keg Kennedy, et al.
The world's leading ports m,anager, DB World Ports, will transfer its port contracts to its US incorporated ports management company and all will be well with that outcome.
And the rotten recidivists who pose as America's politicians will continue to rob and loot and steal.
And to at every oportunity lie down with America's and the world's most evil and conspire to continue to rob and screw us all.

Me too. In this case, in one more example of the Founding Fathers' eternal genius, the cynically-hysterical behavior of the weather vane pols, their Pravda media mates and the moronic mob combined to remind us why America is, thank God, a Constitutional Republic, not a [Mob-ruled] democracy.
Bush has many good qualities. He has been a real leader in the war against terror. I do not like weathervanes as president. Bush is not good at communicating to the public. His people are not good in dealing with Congress.
When I heard DPW pulled out I thought, score one for the no-nothings
And they're so happy about it.
