Your side has spent the better part of two + weeks, saying that DPW was BUYING ports.
That is NOT a fact!
It was also claimed, by your side, that DPW would be in charge of port security.
That's not so either.
The "deal" is NOT lost.
DPW did BUY P&O.
I could repeat and correct all of the LIES that were posted to FR and correct them, but frankly, I don't feel like it.
Now go read the threads that actually contain the FACTS and try to finally learn some.
Bayourant is that you?
Here is our exchange:
Nopardons: "It was THE worst signal, in the middle of this war, that America and Americans could send."
Dervish: "Why?"
Nopardons: "Go read the threads that contain the FACTS! Frankly, I'm tired of correcting the lies."
Nopardons to Reagan Man: "The vast majority of ad hominem remarks, insults, and outright lies, came from the antis"
Dervish: "Well I consider your answer to me in post #336 "Go read the threads that contain the FACTS!" (your caps) a sly ad hominem attack. I and others who wanted the port deal nixed have "the FACTS!" We just don't agree with you."
Nopardons: "Then you don't know what an "ad hominem" is". That figures.
Your side has spent the better part of two + weeks, saying that DPW was BUYING ports. That is NOT a fact!"

1) Calling me and all others who disagree with the port deal ignorant of the FACTS is a personal attack. You made that attack all over this thread. Some folks here are even smarter than you and more knowledgeable.
2) Further I never said anyone was buying ports. And I don't have a "side" except the American side. I find myself wondering what dog you have in this race given your vociferous pro-UAE stance.
3) If you did not want to answer my question asking you to "explain" your comment, you should have kept your mouth shut in the first place. I guess you lacked a substantive answer so, to steal a phrase from Mark Levine, you just started flinging the mud balls.
