Considering it is has been nothing but name calling, rumor, hearsay and guilt by association, from the Port Deal Critics, I suggest they clean up their act before they presume to lecture ANYONE about tactics. When they simply scream down anyone telling they the facts as a "Bush bot" or "Drinking the Koolaid" etc, they should expect to be fed back exactly the same tactics they dish out. The assumption that everyone in the world simply has to take what ever the American Neo-Isolationists dish out is assumption not matched by current world economic realities.
People should stop just blindly accepting the nonsense some of the Talk Show Hosts dish out and actually LISTEN to people here who have real world experience. Try telling this spin line about "nothing happening" to Prince of Cups who is a Westerner working in UAE. See how well it goes over with them.
I read many of Prince of Cups posts. That was part of my research.
But, sadly, Johnnie I learned after awhile to skip most of yours. There's no way you and I can have a meeting of the minds.
