The American public is also a loser because of loss of air bases, naval bases, etc.

You know what? Instinct tells me (my Instinct is very good) that nothing will change! of any importance. They will get over it and will keep investing in other business here in the US.

NOTHING will happen.. you'll see.

Ever had the feeling that you were conversing with a brick wall?

"I highly resent your statement that Americans are ignorant."

I am deeply saddened.

I am neither.

Which are you?

What I responded to was the statement

Personally I am glad to see a majority of Americans stand up for something

If it doesn't matter what they're standing up for then I don't suppose it matters which choice they make.

Thanks for the input

A reasonable position yours is.
As a person that opposes this deal, I must admit it is difficult watching the Dems lie and pander and Republicans being spineless once again.
These same Dems would scream bloody-murder if Customs even did a double-take at a guy getting on a plane that was dressed in full Arab regalia, a bulky mid-section and reading aloud from a Koran.

Has this been announced?

No, and may not occur. But Arabs have learned what they already suspected: "Get too close to the Americans and you will get burned."

Being the "International Trader" you are, I couldn't do business with you because only 5% of your containers are inspected.

I just wonder if any of those who can predict the future can tell me which numbers to pick for the next Powerball lottery.

6 8 14 23 45 and 45 again on the powerball ...

I'll expect 10% when your ship comes in.

And why has Turkey turned out to NOT be the ally they were cracked up to be?
Wonderful, civilized, westernized Turkey..
Alliances with ME countries -- except for Israel -- are tenuous at best, mostly chimerical.
Kuwait is our friend because we literally saved their buts.
With all we've done for Afghanistan, Karzai spoke out against the Danish cartoons.
(Even our own State Dept. did.)
What more can we do for the rest of the world?
The whole world should love us because of all the outsourcing of jobs, the humanitarian aid, the lives that have been sacrificed, the business that pours out from the U.S.
It's never enough... from the appeasement point of view.

That was the whole problem, the knee jerk reaction turned into a knee jerk amendment attached to troop's money.

Islam is full of malarkey and was originated by a false prophet. None the less, I still want to know what makes them tick

Good points. Too many emotional people ready to attack when they dont get their way.

The sky is not falling (today)

I would suspect that the Mexican baskets he imports don't need to be inspected for anything less than wetbacks.

No, only hoped for by some FReepers who are secretly wishing all sorts of evil on Americans over this damn port deal. Any and all future terrorist attacks will surely be tied to this port deal. I can see it now--the first case of Bird Flu in the States will be blamed on the port deal.
