Exactly the point...you don't solve one problem by creating another one.

"These people are not allies, no matter how much that lie is repeated it will never be true."

And Malkin-Buchanan xenophobia will not win the day in this country.

Did you believe all the lies your mother told you?

Serious question.

Dubai is threatening retaliation against American strategic and commercial interests if Washington blocks its $6.8 billion takeover of operations at several U.S. ports.

Imagine that! Dump on people, even wealthy Arabs and they stop working with you. Who would have ever thought.

Amercian arrogance will not win out on this one, I'm afraid.

Keep regurgitating the same trite talking points and insipid banalities gleaned from the rainbow flaggers and red fascists.

Maybe by the umpteenth repetition the little dream world you're ensconced in will have become a reality.

It is a question of access..not by the UAE as a singular entity but by persons who may for treasure or blood exploit and achieve another surprise attack on Americans in America.

You obviously haven't been paying attention to who FURNISHES the workers at these terminals.

Unless you think the mob is going to hire terrorists.

If the "deal" is beneficial than a "review" is not a bad thing.

Ah, still not paying attention? The people who demanded the NEW investigation have been neutered; the deal is off.

We won't be investigating UAE. Hell, the Congress couldn't even wait the 45 days THEY demanded; they were going to pass a bill to STOP this deal next week.

The issue is national security not politics...does that mean most politicians won't play this to advantage of course not...

Your point was that we shouldn't do business with the UAE because some bad people came from there. One anyway. I pretty much shot that down in flames. If you that makes you feel vindicated fine.

Congress just made a thousand problems for US.

Leaving these people to their whine-fest.

On Miers they called us woman-haters.

On Dubai they called us racist xenophobic islamophobes.

Can't wait to see what they call us when we call their amnesty for illegals bluff...

Flowery language and 1970's history haven't won many elections for your type of Buchanite followers. But I see how many have been waiting to pounce on a political opportunity.

Call me when you win an election.

Two of the 9-11 hijackers.

So two bad apples should reflect poorly on everyone else. Interesting logic you have there.

Are you drinking tonight?

No, are you?

Serious question.

A kook like you shouldn't be taken seriously. Seriously.

Is it too late for us to save the world by waving a white flag? Can't we just surrender, and give them all our ports? /sarcasm
