Thanks. Glad to see someone getting the facts out. I do not object to people having different opinions on the wisdom of the Port Deal, but it really made me angry the way the opposition has deliveratly obfuscated or mislead on the facts
I agree, wholeheartedly.
Facts? Which facts? There are so many conflicting reports at this point that I am just taking the side of the folks who are suspicious of the UAE and the whole deal, by default. It seems to be the most reasonable position for someone who gives a damn about security. I have no obligation to help the Bush administration save face on this. Furthermore, I have no vested interest in doing so. This whole ordeal has clearly demonstrated (like no other situation before it) that there are people who will support literally any position Bush takes, regardless of the details...and that is a scary proposition when you get right down to it. I suspect that when the illegal alien amnesty deal comes down from on high, FR will once again be divided between those who support common sense and principles and those who support a man. Putting your faith in men (particularly politicians) is a foolish proposition.
