Nice ...it does not say that the UAE (as a government) did or did not...but the UAE did allow an environment that provided an opportunity for the chicanery to occur. Which should be of concern.

But Duncan said they did.

Oh, like that doesn't happen HERE?

We can't let the facts get in the way of a good old rant, now, can we?

That "idiot" is Senator from New York, where the 9/11 attack occurred, if you recall. Perhaps his alarm bell went off very quickly considering one of the ports to be managed by Dubai is in New York.

That's odd. The Saudis have ports in NYC. They were approved on Chuckies watch. No squawks about that from him.

But is anyone really surprised that the Dubai royal family would resort to threats and blackmail?

Nope. Can't say I don't blame them.

"You've been here since 1998, lol."

And you haven't, LOL. And I already addressed this by saying they are all singing off of the same page. They have their marching orders. It' funny how the Coast Guard had grave concerns, but as soon as that info made it into the press, the Coast Guard suddenly began singing a different tune about how their concerns had all been addressed. Yeah, sure. Plus it is immaterial that the POTUS, US Navy, Coast Guard and Generals say otherwise. Generals, the Navy, and the POTUS have no part in port security. The Coast Guard does, so that's one out of the four you list. None of them could guarantee who might be hired that would have terrorist ties, by the Dubai port managers. None of them could guarantee what would be shipped where, when, and how, the port managers would do that. All it would take is a couple of rotten terrorist apples in the Dubai port managers' infrastructure, to do us harm. By the way, we weren't talking about my ability to express an opinion, which I do often and in rather thorough detail everytime I post. We were discussing a Congressman's opinion as vs. generals, POTUS, the U.S. Navy rep and the Coast Guard rep, all who answer to the POTUS, don't they. He's their boss. Funny how they all agree w/his opinion.

"Boeing should be glad to be rid of them"




I hope you remember saying that when Boeing has to lay off workers because of the lack of contracts.

That is Hunter's opinion and he has a a higher security clearance than I do. If you think he is a liar than maybe you should tell him so.

He doesn't have a higher security clearance than Tommy Franks and George W. Bush.

I also wasn't born yesterday. So, when General Franks and Abizaid gave updates on the WOT from CENTCOM, were you equally jaded? Just curious. Are these men liars who only worship at the altar of Bush?

This was no victory for Americans. As Jack Kemp said tonight this was "shameful". I have not expressed any concern about the economic foolishness of this action merely the disgusting picture of the US stabbing an ally in the back because of the LIES of a pack of LIERS. Almost everything said against it is a LIE.

Go riot with your anti-Globalists not that you even know enough about economics to know what that is.

Oh for heaven sake, what a conspiracy. Well certainly we must look with disrespect at the the Generals, and the Coast Guard because they work for the military. And we should certainly listen to demagogic congresscritters like P. King and Chuckie Schumer. As if they have no axe to grind.

As soon as this deal was put in the Treason Media the RAT spokesmen hit the airwaves on the Sunday talk shows.

The fact is, George Bush has made it very easy for the Democrats in congress to actually be right for a change.

Democrats and "being right" shouldn't be used in the same sentence by a Conservative.

So we should what make it even easier... solving one problem by creating another one isn't a grand strategy to me.

Schumer has fought every action which could strengthen our anti-terrorism effort unless he gets a piece of the action.

Don't make me laugh by pretending this whore cares about National Security.

Are you done pitching your hissyfit?

Not that it matters, I'm just curious.
