I wonder if Tony is going to sound like his head is in a box today?

Thanks to Chuck Schumer, Duncan Hunter, and a host of other Congressmen, Dubai Ports World says it will turn its U.S. operations over to some phantom American entity. So when the UAE tells us they don’t feel like helping out in the War on Terror, we’ll thank Congress. Tony has more

And our sailors, who risk their lives every day on the high seas to keep us safe, could now be less safe because of this damage to relations with UAE. Our Navy got strategic advantage out of good relations with UAE, a country located in a key part of the world. Now the Navy might lose that due to knee-jerk election year posturing by some politicians.

the feed on 55 WKRC does not have that annoying shift in the pitch, nor the intermittent ticking sound. Much better audio than the one from Fox direct.

MEh.. caller is dancing around here like SOOOOo many here at FR were.

"Don't call me a racist becaue I have only racial motives for being agasint the deal"

I'm sure they don't see themselves as racists, I'm sure they figure they don't hate "black people", and hating "arabs" is just reasonable (to them), so somehow "it isn't REAAALY racism".

The end result of their argument is always the same though... "yeah I know all the facts and reasoning say otherwise, but I just can't get over that they area a-rabs. So due to my personal issues, the USA should spit in the face of our greatest arab ally."



I'm so embarassed today that Amercia looks like such a racist nation.

"RIP, DWP Thanks to Chuck Schumer, Duncan Hunter, and a host of other Congressmen, Dubai Ports World says it will turn its U.S. operations over to some phantom American entity. So when the UAE tells us they don’t feel like helping out in the War on Terror, we’ll thank Congress."

I don't know if the UAE will be as eager to help us against the war on terror now that we have basically called them terrorists ourselves. Is that any way to treat a good ally and where will be put our troops and supplies if we need them to help us in any possible future conflicts in that part of the world?

It doesn't seem that anyone has won on this deal, IMHO.

We don't need to reward allies for doing what they should be doing already. Get off the ports already...it's dead.
