Now Dubai Eyes a Key Defense Contractor

[Supernatural]

Sounds like a great idea!

Put Muslims in charge of our defense.

That'll work!

Wonder what kind of stuff Dubya has been smoking.

[Kimberly GG]

He's not set to do it, he already did it. This morning.

[Astronaut]

Insanity. Arabs in charge of our defense. Arabs who have sworn to use nuclear weapons on us. What is wrong with Bush?

[rockabyebaby]

WTH???? Is Bush smoking the cheap crap???? WTH is he thinking?????

[fanfan]

Fanfan whispers, in her best Rush Limbaugh voice:

Ports deal

[coconutt2000]

The officials, who were granted anonymity so they could speak freely about something the president had not yet announced, said that the final details had not yet been set and that Mr. Bush might put conditions on the transaction to keep military technology in the United States.

Two possibilities... An intentional leak of a policy direction to test the water, or a fabricated leak that the Dems will spin into being the former when it doesn't materialize.

And if true, I wonder what part Bill Clinton is playing in this...

[WestCoastGal]

Can you guys think of anything else we can give away?

[hole_n_one]

Let the knee-jerking begin!

[the_Watchman]

This is clearly just a test to see how Tony does under real fire!

[Accygirl]

This deal will allow needed weapons and equipment to get to our soldiers in Iraq (and Iran when we go in) much more quickly and therefore is a good thing.

It's sad that some posters aren't able to see the difference between our Muslim allies (which includes the UAE) and Al Qaeda. Posts like this help support the Dems stereotypes about conservatives.

[Cacique]

Compassionate conservatism at work. I suppose the defenders who think it's ok to give citizenship to 11 million illegals will soon show up to tell us what a great deal this is and how we need to embrace moderate islam and blah, blah, blah.How we don't understand what a great president he is because we are winning the war on terrorism etc., etc., etc. Is it any wonder why more conservatives are planning on sitting the next elections out?

Bush has been in the oil business for so long with these people that he has forgoten who they are.

Don't the couple look nice holding hands?

[SeaBiscuit]

Thought this might be of interest..

[TexasTransplant]

Yea "we" can take on tough issues.

Why can't we take on the tough issues of ANWR, Drilling off of California, Florida, Nuclear Plants and Utah's low sulfur coal?

I'm there, I'm scraping the Bush Cheny sticker off of my bumper.

He's went from Rushmore to Next.

TT

[Mr Rogers]

What's the problem?

[mrsmith]

" Takeover of 9 Military Plants by Dubai"

LOL!

Well, when the media lied and said Dubai was going to "take overUS ports" it worked so well they decided to keep on.

Idiots never learn, that's why they keep subscribing to the NYTImes!

[NRA2BFree]

Has Bush totally lost his mind? What's he going to do next? March with the illegals, and carry the Mexican flag? IF Americans react to this deal like they did over the ports deal, the outrage from Americans will sink the GOP in 06, and probably in 08! He will have handed the government over to the RATS!! It's just as well. Republicans are too wimpy to run the government. They're traitors and cowards!!

[plain talk]

Again we have a situation where it's probably just an ownership change but people will demagogue it in ignorance. However perception is reality unless the ones championing this can explain it properly for the masses. With these increasingly complex business arrangements this becomes harder and harder to do.

If I were Bush I wouldn't allow this crap to go on. Why give your enemies such ammo to split your base with?

[KoRn]

I wonder how much Bill Clinton ot paid for this one. Also, I wonder if Shrillary knows about it.......

[Old_Mil]

If Islam is truly a religion of peace, this shouldn't bother anyone in the least.
