"War on Terror," my @ss.
Why are we worried about boarder security? Seems Bush is swinging the front door wide open. WTF guys. Rome is burning right before our eyes.
Perhaps this is a mechanism to get the non-fanatical Saudi's out before Iran engineers an Islamic coup in Saudi Arabia? Not likely, but one possible option.
We aren't forgetting. This is a very deliberate effort to modernize a big chunk of the world's population. There is no rational choice but to engage in trade with the ME. Their product is cheap and high quality. You cannot get it cheaper or better quality anywhere else. Therefore we are stuck transferring massive wealth to this region in exchange for our lifeblood, O&G. Coopt or face these dollars in the form of bullets later. Blame everyone. Blame noone. The economic equation doesn't change.
Are we slitting our own throats??
We?
Note: please repost this to the "a day in the life of pres bush" thread, perhaps they will be interested.
I'm sure they learned their lesson and are now willing to sit through the lecture on landing this time.
Between the terrorists and the illegals, will there be any desks for citizens?
Here's an idea...admit only AMERICANS to any US university. get rid of ALL foreign student visas.
We need to educate our own first and foremost. Let foreigners go to their own country's schools.
How many of them are here to learn to fly?
... and 10,000,000 illegals from Mexico.
What is he thinking?
Beats me. Simple logic does not apply.
Back in the '70s, we had a bunch of Iranian students at our university. They refused to interact with us and sneered in class. They refused to do any work so the curve was blown since the profs were told to pass them. They hated every minute they were on American soil. Please explain to me how bringing that chunk of the word here has helped anyone.
I understand why we do this. Some governments are whores, and the US prefers that they be ours rather than someone else's.
Nevertheless, it's a nasty business, and IMO they should be put out of business. Bring back colonialism and imperialism, if we're going to run affairs by the lesser-evil policy.
And of course, Saudi Arabia is our friend at the hourly rate.
I am beginning to wonder whether Bush really is an idiot.
WHY!!!!!!!
UN-FRICKIN'-BELIEVABLE.............................
Its a wonder Bush has time to welcome all the Saudi students, when he spends most of his waking hours making sure that every Mexican CRIMINAL has a place in America.
Saudis: they want our shoes.
While I was in college the vast majority of the Indians and the Chinese students were intelligent, hard working and were primarily in the US to get an education. I couldn't say the same thing for the Arabs and especially the Saudis. If there was a way to cut corners or find the bare minimum to do the Saudis would find it. The ones whose families were rich enough to send them to an American university usually hadn't done a day's work in their lives and weren't about to start now.
