will act accordingly, and I also publicly apologize to the UAE for the stupidity of our U.S. lawmakers. "I will also attach this apology to my resume that I am sending to the DP World sumthin' ruther', in hopes of smoothing over world peace, amen."

If you need any help on that resume, let us know. Sellout appeaser. Move over there and enjoy life. The reasonable among us recommended divestiture from the beginning.

In my own research and discussions, I've invalidated many of your statements as false.

For instance?

Do you spend your entire weekend online trying to get to know them and supporting our troops and talking with the various posters?

If you can say that with a straight font, that certainly puts the lie to your original statement about you "knowing what I'm about," wouldn't it?

[Star Traveler]

You said -- "And if there is still no American company that wants it?"

That means that the U.S. Government would have to create such a company and pay five times as much to operate it -- just to satisfy all these crazies who have been screaming about the deal. Of course they will be happy to spend five times a much money just so they can give the appearance that they have "won" on the issue of security. What a deal.

Both Rove and Bush admitted not knowing about the deal.

Are you unaware that Congress passed the legislation that required absolute secrecy in making such a deal. Had the participants told anyone...Rove, Bush, anyone...they would have been in violation of the law passed by Congress itself.

I have ne'er seen more personal attacks on Free Republic as I have from her, just on this thread alone. I'm shocked, honestly. Well, just by the sheer voracity of them, but I think I've been trying to be rather level headed. I keep a sticker on my computer here at the office. It has served me much through my trevails on the 'net and in business:

The four political virtues:

Wisdom

Temperance

Courage

Justice

Sounds like our politicians could use a lot of that right about now. Especially the first two. *smile* You know who wrote it?

Plato.

Have you taken me on as a personal project, Jhohanna?

If you've decided so, send me your email address and I'll get back to you the SECOND I'm interested in what you think of my posts.

Jesse Jackson, et al, 'use the race card' because they call things racism that are not. Noting the racism of some who are opposed to dealing with Arabs in any way because of their race, or worse, calling for their deaths, is not.

If there's anyone out there saying "kill all the Arabs", they should be disregarded.

But I am confident that if it was President John F. Kerry in the White House, you and all of the other Republicans vigorously defending this deal would be on OUR side opposing it just as vigorously.

[Jhohanna]

Plenty! I always have open arms!

[Howlin]

As if rules apply to him.

My feelings would be hurt if I was the only one he did that to.

[Howlin]

BTW, thanks.

Hey! Wait a second! I added that last line to another poster's whining. You paint me wrong.

Isrul is the foremost expert in Middle Eastern affairs in the world and he knows that region like the back of his hand, so please do not question his opinion on this subject (extreme sarcasm).

"Are you unaware that Congress passed the legislation that required absolute secrecy in making such a deal."

No. Please cut and paste the verbage, and a possible link.
Is "absolute secrecy" like double-secret probation?

Do your own homework.

[TigersEye]

You've got it. That's what all 'good' conservatives want isn't it? Nationalization of all American ports!?

If there's anyone out there saying "kill all the Arabs", they should be disregarded.

Well, they're all over the place on this forum, and it's not 'playing the race card' to bring it up. And, I personally don't think they should be 'disregarded.' They are dangerous, and they shouldn't be dismissed by you, just because they are on your side of this argument, Junior.

As for your John Kerry comment........too vaccuuous an argument to reply to. But just keep using it. I know you think it's cute......otherwise you wouldn't keep saying it, and exposing yourself like that.

If you can't stick with the issue you brought up, and I responded to........that is, racism..........then I'm not interested in continuing this with you. If you have actual thoughts on the issue, please bring them up. Otherwise, thanks anyway, I'm not here to be personally insulted.

Should be a Live Thread coming up anytime now for the Mars orbital operation. Things are getting tense at the control center, but all systems are go and they are confident for tomorrow.
