Why bother? If you can't see it now, you don't wish to.
Yeah thats right Abdul, its all the JOOOOOOOSSS fault!
ALL muslim countries can take their blood money and shove it up their terrorist lovin a***s as far as I'm concerned!
POrterville your clueless you really are. There was no dancing in the streets in the UAE when this happen. How come you continue to refuse to people that post on here from the region and that have lived there. They have commented all over the place. The UAE Enemy that exist is a figmant of your imagination
So business deals good or bad have now become race issues? Is buying a Ford considered by General Motors a racist act on the part of the customer? Business and making money is not love, peace and understanding.
Having said that, his support for this deal was a way of running interference over the fact he was paid to support this deal by the UAE.
I agree though, he should be investigated.
Who played the Israeli card first?
Was it Jewish Schumer?
Nah, not him./sarcasm
What is their UN record for voting? Are they less inclined to vote for USA interest or not? Do they not vote over 93% of the time AGAINST US interest??
Walkin man, whats the point of your post. Why are you downing him asking that question in the editoral. The Israeli factor was mentioned all the time. You would think you would give them credit for bringing that up. Quit being such a goofus.
President Bush was a businessman. I am continually amazed at the number of supposed conservatives that spit out the work "business" like it's a cuss word.
Of course not. Neither does fear. How 'bout IGNORANCE?
Xenophobia isn't a good description either. Americans aren't afraid of Danes or English running our ports.
Americans are afraid of atrocity loving muslim terrorists. Rightly so.
The UAE is a major financier and money launderer for muslim terrorism, but I don't readily see how they would have compromised port security. Regardless they merit close scrutiny.
They know not what they did.
That poll was based on 12 issues. Our European allies had a rating of voting against us about 85 percent of the time. The UN is worthless and never decide anything of importance. I really dont care. I bout ready to withdraw from it. The real point is the military, economic, political, and intelligence support they give us. That some freakin UN votes that doesnt even matter.
"Was it the 'Israeli element' as some have suggested? Maybe. Otherwise, why would some Congress members bombard the DP World executive, during last week's hearing, with questions about the Arab boycott of Israel? Did they want to force the UAE to end the pan-Arab boycott of Israel in order approve the deal? These questions need to be investigated."
That's some real swell chums you've got there, bayou.
What's next? You gonna post us some excerpts from The Protocols of the Elders of Zion?
...(*snicker*)...
BTTT
I've been expecting this not so subtle asked for slap.
This is not the "shining city on the hill" envisioned by President Reagan, is it? Our children will pay the consequences of this dark chapter in our history.
What you said.... BUMP.
Yeah right pleaseeee. Yeah their funding Bin Laden every day. right. They have troops with our guys hunting him down right now.

If I remember correctly, it was Schumer, and it was amplified in a news story in the Jerusalem Post.
