If you don't like the discussion don't participate. I didn't. Just added my postscript, because I thought alot of people got spun based on a falsehood.

ROTFLMAO You picked the very post where I responded to your accusation as the example of my name-calling! Bwahahahahaha. If you follow it back I never even used the word stupid before that.
Now that has to be the stupidest post on this thread. Who tells you when to inhale and exhale anyway?

I have news for you, Schumer doesn't give a rip about security, and he lives in a state that already has seen an attack.

Looks like Abizaid is going to have to learn the hard way how dumb it is for generals to meddle with political hot potatoes like this one.

...I thought alot of people got spun based on a falsehood.When you look at how many people think that there was a security issue in the 'ports deal' your point becomes patently obvious.

Stupid move by Dubai. They're merely confirming the suspicions of the critics of the deal that Dubai's friendship is only as deep as the thickness of a dollar.

Maybe what killed the port deal was the sheer ludicrousness of port deal apologists talking like Guardian columnists decrying 'islamophobia' and 'anti-Arab racism'. When the American people heard this nonsense they smelled generous applications of petrodollar grease. The UAE is not a country. It is the private property of one man. A mortal man. A man who spent a lot of money greasing a lot of people in Washington so a deal would go through. But it failed. It failed because the American people did not have a price and were not willing to be sold.Your username fits you well.
What sunk the deal was a truckload of bogus information. Selling the ports. Security turned over. UAE supports the Taliban. You probably know the list well.
You will never catch me being an apologist for Islamists, EVER. I am also not a braindead moron who would happily crap on an important ally, in a crucial position at a critical time. Do you want to win the WOT? If the answer is no, then you make total sense.

I say we Giulani them and say keep your money... It has nothing to do with money, it's about how you treat your friends.

I'm sure General Abizaid cares more about our troops than politics.
To: SunStar
You know, if it's a hot dog stand at the port being run by a company owned by an Arab Sheikdom, it's a security risk. Ok? (Or is that not "informed" enough for you?)Oh, that's informed enough alrighty. Nothing could demonstrate your grasp of politics, business and society better than that.

Yeah it sure is the truth as the world has become quite confusing in the last several and now I find out that Arabs and Muslims are really our buddies.Again you are not confused, you are a troll.

I have not seen many serious posters argue for roundup and deport.
As an aside, roundup and deportation wouldn't be necessary, on the heels of Tyson and other CEO's being carted off to prison for their crimes. They would self deport. Blackbird.

So, let me get this straight - While the entire US political-wonk class is frothing out the mouth over the sale of "port dock concessions to the United Arab Emirates" in a fashion I havent seen since the great "Flouride Wars of the 1950's", it turns out that "Emirates Air" and its subsidiary "Emirates Sky Cargo" has Passenger and Cargo Terminal Space at JFK. ~~
ROFL!! Quick, somebody call Harry Reid or Schmuckie Schumer. We must be protected...aaaarrrhhhhhgggg!!!

"There is not going to be legislation that sends them back. Period."
Yes there will. In phases. Those that aren't on record for committing a crime, can stay but have to register, pay into a high deductible insurance pool, must have insurance to drive, and will have to learn english. Any failure of those four, you get hauled back. Those that have committed a crime, and are still here for some reason, will be hauled back and banished. Its not that hard. You don't have to destroy businesses in the process.
