Yes, The Know-Nothings have really made America safe from....(let's see what was that again?) OH, a foreign company manageing some terminals. I'll sleep much better tonight knowing this won't happen.

What part of "Don't post to me anymore" don't you understand?
"What part of "Don't post to me anymore" don't you understand?"
Oh I forgot, I thought this was Free Republic
and everyone had a right to post to whomever they wanted.
What posting guidelines are you using?
What forum do you think you are on???
And he was right. But the point is the only reason Congress got hysterical is because citizens demanded it. And those citizens were uninformed beyond the "No A-Rabs controlling our ports" nonsense.
Dubai Ports World may be out of it now but the message that this whole demogogued issue sent will surely come back to bite us in the ass. And the people that demanded this deal not go through will never make the connection because to do so will require a) admitting they were wrong in the first place and b) actually thinking about it rather than simply relying on a kneejerk reaction.
I learned a long time ago you can't talk sense to those who have none. These morons proved it.
Your rudeness in ignoring our request is duly noted.
Besides, it's already posted Here and Here, Here, and Here. And that's just this afternoon's spamming.
How many times do you have to post your remarks, especially to people who have repeatedly asked you not to spam them?
Why are you so opposed to a post about helping Homeland Security?
Promoting Homeland Security is spam?????
As long as I have been here, I can remember seeing people asked you to not post those spam posts to them and you always say, "Why are you so opposed to a post about John Kerry (or fill-in the blank)?"
You are very transparent and disingenuous.
It's very simple; please don't post those to me.
"You are very transparent and disingenuous."
Please: NO profanity,
Well, you just seem determined to have the last word, even if it makes you look foolish, so go ahead and post again to me.
STOP IT!!
JUST STOP IT!!
For Cryin' out Loud...
Crying..
For Christ Sake, would you STOP!!!
I am so sick of this...
For the sake of the Troops...
By God,,
Can't one among you..
See past your selves?
Ms.B
To quote a buddy of mine, "People are idiots!"
Stopped right there, when the facts stopped and the inaccuracies started.
And just where are the media in reporting the India deal?
That was one hell of a job that just provided a little security for the Mideast.
Land Of the Free And the Home Of the Brave ,HA
That's all I have been asking for over a year; stop posting to me. I'm pretty sick of it, too.
No kidding. On another thread, someone posted that he didn't really care whether this was a good deal or not, just that it was a blow against "globalization". When you admittedly don't care whether or not something was a good deal, you've hopped right on the Know-Nothing bandwagon.
What struck me in this whole debate was that our military, which has had extensive contacts with the UAE, and professionals who work in the shipping industry were the two groups who most strongly supported this deal. The people who actually understood this, and weren't just getting third hand information from the blogosphere, supported it. And I have yet to see a single port operations professional oppose this.
Triumph of the proudly ignorant.
this issue is dead. Let's bring up a new one .What are you anti port deal people going to do when you cannot get our ships to port in the UAE. Bin Laden was smarter then I thought, he used people from countries like the saudis and the Uae to destroy any arab trust in the middle east. I can under stand his plan , but to have our own country go against a man who is keeping the us safe to compalin and call him stuipd.I admire President Bush more and more everyday. But your country club rep congress and the radical pro castro , pro communist demo congress can go to where it is very hot.
The message has been sent "Ragheads need not apply."
Osama smiles.
