Maybe you can help Dominic Carr.
He'd like to know if you have any credible evidence that this Islamofascist company has endangered the security of any ports in the past?

03/02/06 FOX Poll: Most Oppose Port Deal; Republicans Lose Ground Thursday, March 02, 2006 By Dana Blanton PHOTOS
Most Americans oppose allowing a Dubai company to run some U.S. ports, even as a majority understands the U.S. would continue to control port security, according to a new FOX News poll. One in four sees the United Arab Emirates as a strong ally, but most either disagree or are unsure.
In addition, the poll shows Republicans have lost ground on the issue of terrorism, and by a wide margin voters now think it would be better for the country if Democrats win control of Congress in this year’s midterm election.
For only the second time of his presidency, the poll finds that President Bush’s overall job approval rating has fallen below 40 percent — today 39 percent of Americans say they approve and a 54 percent majority disapproves. Late last year the president’s approval hit a record-low of 36 percent (8-9 November 2005).

Uh, Muslim investors bought the Essex House, a luxury hotel in New York, from Marriott (UAE investors, BTW). And a shopping mall in the Midwest.
Do you look under your bed at night to make sure an Arab isn't under it?
Jimmmmy carter, pfft. Do you know whay he wants this deal? Former president Jimmy Carter met with 10 family members in early 2000. In September 2000, he accepted $200 thousand from the bin laden family to the carter center in Atlanta.

Please reread the poll results again, S-L-O-W-L-Y this time:
" Most Americans OPPOSE allowing a Dubai company to run some U.S. ports, even as A MAJORITY UNDERSTANDS the U.S. would continue to control port security, according to a new FOX News poll. One in four sees the United Arab Emirates as a strong ally, but most either disagree or are unsure."
We get that U.S. customs will be "inspecting" all cargo with our security detail -- and we're STILL against a Islamofacist company buying our ports.
Be gone. You have nothing but propaganda to push this deal. Nothing but propaganda.
Maybe they'll learn their lesson on this one, when there turns out to be no 'fire' to this smoke, and all the critics of the deal are hemming and hawing to explain just what all the fuss was about?
Maybe?
(Slap me, snap me out of this dream-state!)

Yes. All this is a dog and pony show.

I have a question, nothing more.
Do you have any reason to believe that this company has ever made any port less secure?
Seems pretty simple. Surely you must have some evidence to base your opposition to this on.
Told ya!
-Dan
Ah, then it's simple.
When you realize no one is buying our ports, that is just a lie, you will drop your opposition, right?
Yes I do. Because of who these companies are and who controls them.
How do you do that thing with different-colored fonts though?
Yes, thank you.
Maybe he can help!
It's such a simple question. I would have assumed people would have had a reason for opposing this company.
Usually not, because I always consider the source.
"...if you don't want a-rabs to run a terminal at a port because you don't trust a-rabs than have the balls to say it."
I thought I had, but then there's nothing I can do for those with limited powers of comprehension. Like you, Bunky.
"Don't hide behind rhetorical questions like "why take a chance"
The point here, perhaps too subtle for you, was that no risk, however small, is worth taking. Got it yet?
You really ought to sign up for some of those reading comprehension courses.
So you can not provide any specific allegations that this company has ever endangered any port?
Ok. Understood.
After this they might not want Americans having ANYTHING to do with Dubai seaports, airports, or sell them any armaments industries. The French will. And the US can send its Navy elsewhere.
Why, I don't have to do anything! The sheer brilliance of the non-racist port stand illuminates the argument in a rainbow of truth! :)
We're all just a bunch of mean ol' racist Arab-haters, of course, so our words can only show up DULL, GRAY, AND SAD. :(
