"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.
A correct and fine analysis - but a stampeding cattle herd isn't going to stop to listen to it.
Dubai is selling these contracts. It is over.
Stopped right there, when the facts stopped and the inaccuracies started.
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.
