No good will come of this. This whole issue will blow up right in the White House's kisser...unless it slowly backs away from it as they did with the Meirs nomination.

Thoughts?

"Absolutely stupid decision by Bush. Bad for US security, bad for the Republicans, bad for Bush."

It's especially troubling because now 'rats like Chuck Schumer and John Kerry who, all along, believed the WOT to be a nuisance, can scream "The President isn't protecting us. How can we trust him now?" Not that the American people, by and large, will buy into 'rat rhetoric, but surely 30 to 40% will.

Is there anything they will not do for a buck?

Get lost.

Did you ever get the impression that the republicans and democrats are just handing control back and forth in a game of keep away. (meaning keep the power away from the people)

"Apparently, there is more to this than meets the eye."

I have felt this way since I first heard it.
Something is going on here.

The thing is, even if Bush vetoed it, the veto probably would end up being overturned in the courts.

UAE could be a staging area for airstrikes and special forces operations against Iran.

Yes, we do have an operational Air Base in Bahrain, which is part of the Persian Gulf States that has close ties to UAE.

Time to call your congressman/woman and tell them to override any veto. If Bush doesn't care about the long-term implications of this decision, we'll have to take care of business ourselves. You lost me, Mr. President.

James Zogby is complaining that it's racist NOT to sell the ports to Arabs. I say, let's get a poll as to whether the American people want Arabs controlling American ports. I had no problem with the Brits because they've been our allys for such a long time and we have a shared, Western value system. What do we do next, outsource NORAD to the Chinese?

Well, and W had Rush blathering on for 3 hours, spinning it this way and that, all praise to the UAE, why Rush loved the UAE more than the DNC and thought they'd do a great job w the ports. Then he spins it another way saying it is GOP strategy to force the dems to name the UAE as terrorists, yea right. Then to try and shut up all the decent he ends his third hour w an assurance not to worry, the UAE when all said and done would not handle the ports anyway. And the Rush thread of the day last time I looked was reminding all who disagreed w this decision that W did NOT have to answer to any one and that NO, the US is not a democracy.

Dubai allows for women to dress as they wish and allows for Christians to worship as they please.

How does Oman (right in the same neighborhood) compare? My wife just corresponded with a long-lost friend there and ran into one restriction right away.
