Hitlery nor any Communist Rat ever, NEVER get my support, however, I do wish that Republicans had done something along these lines.

But what the hey you don't read, why should I be surprised.

Insults will not change the fact that Dubai will do business with TERRORISTS. The article came from a Dubai newspaper, khaleejtimes.com.

The fact is a company owned by Dubai will be responsible for inspecting what gets in and out of major American ports. One or two people in managment positions would be able to smuggle some nukes into a major American harbor. Al Qaeda probably has every operative in its organization applying for a job at DP World.

Steady there Hoss, he said support, not votes.

I'd hold my nose and support Hillary!™ on this narrow issue, if it impoved national security.

Satan will be ice skating to work before she gets my vote.

Huh, I guess newpapers, like the New York Times, to you would never ever spin their atricles.(rolling eyes)

A word of advice to you Deborah Jo, never ever trust a newspaper wholeheartedly.

This deal is a Trojan Horse. DP World is the world's number 3 port operator. They could smuggle a nuke into every port in the world and obliterate us before we even have a chance to respond. Dubai's money has also been floating around on the nuclear black market, and they probably wouldn't mind trading some oil and cash to Pakistan or Iran for some nukes. In fact, the UAE have been quite friendly with Iran.

Generally

Democrats do the wrong things for the right reasons.
Republicans do the right things for the wrong reasons.

Well gee why aren't you slamming Tiger Woods, as pointed out on this thread, for taking that "tainted" money.

Islamic papers don't have "freedom of the press" and are state run.

Again, being insulting doesn't make your points more valid.

And stop using my given name.

You are passionate in your defense of states that sponsor terrorism. Too bad you are not as passionate about defending America's ports.

The UAE ain't taking over the ports and you know that.

Not completely.

This is just the camel's nose in the tent...

I'm glad he took it. It will be less money for them to send to people who crash planes into buildings.

Do a google search and comments from people who post on FR who have been to the UAE. The UAE is the most westernized of Gulf states. Do you think that a wahabbi run state such as saudi arabia would let an infidel such as Tiger Woods play golf on muhammidian sacred ground.

Oh BTW, the New York Times is actually "state run". Run by the state called the DNC.

Fixed the typo:

as there are "several strategic mega-ton projects on the table," he said.

It's still a state run paper and they will do business with Hamas. You can't spin this. It won't spin.

No even comparable.
