PB this isn't intended for you....


I really hope you protectionist bastards are throughly happy to be allied with the likes of Chuck Schumer. Way to piss off an ally of ours at a critical time in the Middle East Region. Way to go. No we don't need to listen to Gen. Pace. We don't NEED to listen to General Franks. No!! We want to listen to one of the top 5 most LIBERAL SENATORS IN THE SENATE!! Way to freakin Go idiots!!!

y need us way more than we need them. If they don't have our proection, the radicals could easily end their way of life over there.

It works both ways. I don't see why we have to be blackmailed into letting them run our ports. If we leave them, they will hurt far more than us.

It is clear there is not shortage of stupidity at FR though perhaps not as much as in Congress.

Everyone needs to look at the facts about this deal....

Every port in America is run by foreign companies, China even runs a few of them.

The UAE was working with us on the WOT, and letting us use their ports for our military ships.

We just told the UAE that they can't be trusted, but we trust every other country, even China!

Last I knew China wasn't letting our military use their ports?

Liberals in Congress were bitching about the deal because they hate Bush. They got simpleminded Republicans to go along and block the deal, now Republicans own the mess that it may cause if they stop trading with us, and kick us out of their ports.

The RATS can't lose on the deal, any good PR , they can claim they forced Republicans to protect the ports.

Any bad PR like lost trade and being kicked out of the UAE ports, The Republicans were in charge, they caused it.

Lets repeal all the tax cuts and hire RAT, union, Slugs to run our ports, sounds great huh?

We better kick out all the other foreign companies too, lets totally screw all foreign trade and seal the borders, we can hire a few million more Union workers at $65 an hour.

I didn't think there were this many stupid Republicans in this Country, I guess I was wrong.

We shouldn't be giving away the keys to our ports in order to gain some limited help in the War on Terror. We didn't have to give our allies in WW2 control of U.S. national security interests. They were just our allies because they believed in the same cause.

Maybe the real problem is that we have to bribe an Arab sheikhdom in order to gain their "friendship"...

A whole lot of "knee jerking" going on here, over un-named sources, and a lot of hubris. What a bunch of flakes you appeasers turned out to be. Grip, get one! Blackbird.
