Dubai Ports World to divest itself of all American interests

They sound pretty xenophobic to me!

vengeful wishful thinking

The nuclear clock has just moved forward a tick.

It is a plus only if they have proven themselves to be totally trust worthy. They have not IMO, and have a long way to go. Reading sites like jihadwatch.org shows why. Yes they seem like such good boys - as long as they are getting their way - but look out if they aren't!!

Give up the bigotry bud. The Saudis and Pakistanis have killed and captured more Al Qaeda than any WHITE EUROPEANS have. Not all Muslims are terrorists. Get out of your intellectually-stunted world of stereotypes and learn to think for yourself. Sean Hannity will survive with one fewer robots in his simpleton army.

"But hey I forgot we are fighting a war on Islam not terror."

Same thing in my opinion...

OK, maybe I wasn't so nice to your statement.

However, I believe during the last election this web site was full of woe-is-me posts about the lack of interest in government.

Finally people had an opinion right or wrong and got interested in something besides MTV, Oprah or American Idol.

Maybe some of those with opinions will stay interested in what goes on in their country and become informed about who they are electing to office.

Maybe some of these people will start defending America against the constant attacks by those on the left such as Cindy Shehan, Hollywood, Hugo Chavez, George Soros and others.

By the way, the Japanese beheaded several hundred Americans on the Bataan Death march alone. And today, Toyota, Honda and Nissan are the top selling cars driven by Americans.

You won't find them in my driveway. Damn skippy....

We don't know what the deal entails. It may be what Warner and Michael Ledeen had earlier proposed:That a separate US entity be set up to manage the port with ownership remaining with UAE under an agreement that leaves them no operating role. We do that all the time with foreign owned companies supplying military material.

They'll get a better return on investing in poppy fields or they can now get right with their god and tithe to the local mosque. Well played.

So the terrorist and insurgents were taking a wait and see attitude toward America until this deal went through? It's not enough that we liberated Iraq and Afghanistan from years of tyranny and oppression. Now they are really steamed because of this port deal? Give me a break with the ticking nuclear clock.

"What have we lost? The US Navy is still there.

Yup, as of this afternoon. And Dubai Ports World is still in charge of the US Navy's port security there. Are you comfortable with that?....

What we've lost is this: The Arabs have seen that you can become America's best friend in the Arab world, but you will always be treated as second class. Somewhere, Osama is smiling,

Without Dubai our war on terror will be hampered.

That's the thing that bothers me the most. I think that of all the things I've ever followed in politics, that this has gotten my ire up the most. I'm just sick over this.

Time to move on. What's done is done. This might be a good time to re-evaluate the portfolio.

Final word. Iranian leaders are laughing their butts off over this and OBL and Ali Z's boys are all high fiving because their intransigence succeeded in creating a huge rift between the USA and the entire region. It's a balancing act. We fell off the wire today.

He can regain "credibility" by proposing spending $500 billion dollars over the next 2 years to stop all illegal immigration and stripping any foreign owned entity of their foreign business here in the US. He then has to cut all the detainees out of GITMO because followers of McCain says they're being tortured.
