And they wonder why people don't trust the government. Damn fools.

Or he could quietly encourage the UAE to do as Communist China did last year with respect to the Unocal purchase – withdraw the offer itself, sparing the country in question (and its friends here) the embarrassment of having its behavior carefully scrutinized and its offer spurned in a high-profile way.

I suspect that there will be some sort of unamed problem and Dubai will have to regretfully pullout.

thanks for ping.

To paraphrase a previous expression. "It's the money, stupid." Previous moment = Making China a permanent preferred trade partner.

Reagan Main Street Republicans are gone with the wind. Wall Street investor Republicans and Democrats are in charge.

We were called sexist elitists on Harriet Miers, wonder what names we'll be called for opposing this one?

Bush has seriously undermined his credibility with this insane move. Can he be trusted to prosecute this war? Ain't sure no more...

I think that proof came to light with his refusal to police the borders.

Bush&Company are asleep at the wheel on this one. This is a no brainer. That is, unless you're a member of the contingent of Bush sycophant bedwetters, who believe there is nothing wrong with having 'the religion of peace' managing six of the biggest US ports of entry located around the homeland.

"...Bush has seriously undermined his credibility with this insane move..."

His credibility was already worthless to many of us for a long time. Face it folks, He is NOT a conservative and it appears to me to have a goal of totally removing any borders we have. I regret my four vote for him more than I have ever regreted any vote before.

Bush and company has become completely tone deaf. I guess Karl Rove has lost his usefulness.
