The Port Deal and Race was it a factor at all(Of Course Not)

The Emirates Economist | 03/12/06 | bayourant

Did Race play a role in the Port Deal discussions? The very charge is met by the likes of Sean Hannity and others with Righteous Indigination. In fact, to mention it makes you the true problem. Mark Levin in fact called a MAjor General a dirtbag over that charge. The below cartoons may be an issue now in the UAE. They are not cartoons about that ole darn prophet however. THere will be no boycotts over these but remember still they dont help things. The cartoonist just give us what we want sometimes. From MSNBC the following cartoon. There were many others that through the glory of the net are available to all.

BITE ME!

His "profession" does not mean that he becomes superhuman when NOT ON THE JOB!

okay maybe the "BITE ME" is over the top.. but hopefully you will just smile at it and not respond UNPROFESSIONALLY....

You should try stepping in someone else's shoes now and then ... No, when the same guy misuses this website to lie repeatedly, he needs to be called on it. And you should have the good sense to be concerned about it too.

[eeevil conservative]

LOL!

I will DON THIS TIL MY DYIN" DAY!

LOL!

:-)

[muawiyah]

Sure it does since there was, in fact, no "ports deal" at all. It didn't exist.

[onyx]

They reacted out of FEAR!
It's that simple.
Led by lies and hysteria.

[holdonnow]

LOL

---You have, obviously, never heard the Great One on the radio. ---

I admitted as much.

[Reagan Man]

>>>>>LOL. If you think this "woke up the people," well, I'll just keep ROFL. MAO.

From time to time, the American people get it right. If you're that easily amused, maybe you should join the circus.

In the interest of clarity:

[eeevil conservative]

Thank you for bothering to care what we say and think here, Mark...

too many with a chance to speak to the masses.. dismiss us...

thank you!

No, when the same guy misuses this website to lie repeatedly, he needs to be called on it.

Not when anybody who is here 24/7 knows that that is what hole_n_one does -- links things and post TV captures. If you knew him, you would have know he meant no harm and then you wouldn't have dared him to a "virtual dual."

And you should have the good sense to be concerned about it too.

I'm not the least bit concerned about him linking the post in question. All he did was LINK it, not say he agreed with it.

Most of our imports come from foreign ports

That's bullshit. Most of our imports come from inside the country.

[eeevil conservative]

LOL!!

YOU ROCK!

[JRios1968]

You should...if the Great One says you're Great, then it IS true! BTW, nice pics with the kids...God Bless You and your kids!

[dervish]

why?

It was sent to the UAE, SA, Kuwait, Qatar, not to Iraq. It was sent to double dealing Arab regimes who pay terrorists while pretending to be 'allies.'

This is the best message and one we should have sent long ago.

Remember there were only two choices Pres Bush gave - with us or against us. Not with us in port deals and against us in paying Hamas.

[P-40]

and that clearly identified the deal as one involving the sale of a company that held operating contracts for gantry cranes at various terminals where they load/unload container ships.


That does sound like what the WSJ had been reporting for months. Current stories include other operations that you would think would be bigger news.

[holdonnow]

I was a Freeper before I was a talk host. Thank you much, and honestly, thank all of you who -- regardless of your position on the port deal -- are patriots who only want what's best for the country. Really, really, have to go now ... God bless.

[eeevil conservative]

ROFLLLL!!!


Most good people are the BEST FRIENDS and the WORST ENEMIES!

kinda like MARINES!

[oceanview]

a little fear is good sometimes. if we had had some fear amongst the right people about arab pilots taking flight lessons in early 2001 - 9/11 may not have happened.

read that sentence above a few more times - that point crystallizes the "fear" issue. Fear can be a good thing. I fear alot of things, it changes my behavior on plenty of issues.
