The mob proved invaluable during WWII. Nothing went on at the docs without them knowing about it.

Finally, some has said it. If the Dubai deal had union blessing, it would have happened.

The Sopranos don't exist, but there are others who do exist, and they aren't nice guys.

A prediction ~ we will have a string of Freepers who opposed the Dubai deal posting stuff here ridiculing the idea that the Mob exists, or that the Mob would be stupid enough to actually hurt America.

And that is because ......................... ???????????

One thing that a lot of really stupid FReepers ignore is that mob members can be blackmailed.

"Either you make sure that shipping container CTC-X-RR-4377-1008 gets through the port without being logged or inspected, or the FBI's Organized Crime division gets a copy of this DVD showing you shooting one of their informants. Your call, buddy."

None of which commends the Dubai deal. Just means the situation is even worse than some think.

Among the top recipients of ILA PAC money in the last few elections were Sens. Frank Lautenberg, D-NJ, Robert Menendez, D-NJ, Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., Chuck Schumer, D-NY, and Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-NY, all of whom represent states with important ports. Some of these same senators are among the chief critics of the Dubai port deal, but they are noticeably silent when it comes to mob influence in the union that actually controls who works on these ports.

I knew the mob was involved in this. I hope those people who were hysterical about this deal without knowing any facts are pleased. They're in bed with mobsters and the radical left.

The Freepers who opposed DPW probably won't bother with this thread.They're revelling in the defeat of President Bush.

It's like the assenine "Clinton did it too" arguments" Rush Shillbaugh uses all the time. Oh? Clinton likes Dubai? And that's relevant because???

Appears to me to be just more emotionally laden Pish-Posh from the sack-cloth Crowd rending their Garments over the President being reminded--again--that He works for us, not vice versa.
(Sporadic Capitalizing increases the Strength of the Argument, don't You Think?)

Ooooh, the Mob! Oh no--not Don Corleone! Anything but the gangsters . . . the Sopranos too? Yikes!

But notice there's no going forward with any evidence by these name-calling Robots with this outlandish valuable parting gift/shot of `gangsters under our beds' . . . .

A terrorist posing as a whatever buying off THE MOB.. NAH never happen..
If the U.S. can't protect itself from the Mob or other democrats.. and we KNOW who the mobsters are already.. The War on Terror is a joke.. actually not a joke.. its a diversion from the Mexican Border where much of the drugs come in..

The Mexican Government IS a Mob.. a Cartel.. as is the Mafia.. There are many Mafias.. Only thing Homeland Security is unaware of is how the various Mafias work together..

But then, thats the way it is in a democracy which IS Mob Rule.. The terrorists are just another Mafia.. Religion has nothing to do with it.. its just business.. Only the deluded could possibly miss this.. The odds of a wall being built on the Mexican Border is dead on arrival.. Foreign MOBS(as airlines) also control parts of all our airports.. never hear a word of that either..

The Sandy Burgular affair speaks volumns on Washington D.C... its wholly Mob controlled.. Which MOB(s)?.. NOW there is a pregnant question.. That Mobs are in control is not the question.. Its which Mobs are controlling interest in foggy bottom.. not IF.. Is democracy fun or WHAT?..

We are a Contitutional republic some say.. WRONG.. we are a democracy.. i.e. Mob Rule.. Any that DON'T know this is in absolute denial.. The only thing republican and democrats and the White House agree on is NO MEXICAN WALL ACROSS THE BORDER... Oh! by the way all the MOBS and the Terrorists(all of them) are into the drug trade.. the only problem among them is fighting for territory.. i.e. distribution rights..

And America is oblivious.. most are probally drugged.. on drugs or the money that comes from the drugs.. same addiciton.. Its always about the money.. nothing personal its just business..

The world would be a safer place if we turned over Homeland Security to the mob.
