Did you hear!!!! The UAE is going to be running 6 of our ports.
In other news, Cancer is cured, the Cubs win the World Series and Dick Cheney shot some guy.
Just thought you'd like to know.
This makes me SO MAD!
There have only been about fifty threads about this.
Odd that the Mass Media knew nothing about this case last week. Even when asked about it. The DNC seems to be leading the talking points on this one.
Makes me suspicious of anything else reported.
I agree that foreign control of our ports is bad. I feel the same about British and Chinese control. Funny that Hillary Clinton did NOT.
I feel the need for some popcorn.
Gee whiz I hope not zot. I was merely expressing frustration and that sickening feeling where a topic just is getting absolutely pounded to the point where you can't see straight anymore.
That's my point: enough already!
Once again, anyone who has visited the international ports at Jebel Ali or Dubai can tell you that these ports are incredibly well run.
How many Elian threads were there? We have a long way to go to hit that milestone.
have always been under the impression that it may be Dubai's and UAE's oil money but it Palestinian professionals who keep the country running.

Did you know John Kerry served in Vietnam?

WHAT!!! How the..I mean...who...I mean. Hey, wait a minute. How do I know you're telling the truth? Could be a vicious internet rumor. I'm not gonna believe it until Kerry says so himself. And I doubt he'd ever mention it, because real military types don't brag about that stuff. Harumph.
