LOL
There was a lot of unseemly emotion expressed on this board by the overwrought.
LOL -- Thanks. I just pinged you to that thread!
Good grief! I missed your ping to this one!
Let me read this NOW!
Folks talk about needing foreign investment. I'll take the heat, and others will as well for our view. But I am looking at why we need that foreign investment. Could this be a case of the means justifies the end??
From each according to his abilities . . .
I'm with you in favoring neither. Bubba gave away the house to the Chi Coms during his 2 affairs...I mean terms so that today they use our own technology against us. Let's also not forget Peanut Boy who gave away the Panama Canal which the Chi Coms now control.
So are you saying that you lied about security concerns because you oppose any foreign investments in principle?
It wasn't a case of "needing" any foreign investment anyway. This was a service business that previously was operated by the Brits -- other "foreignors". If new owners could run it more efficiently, more power to them. But it wasn't a case of some U.S. business being sold off.
Personally, I think the better argument is that rejection of htis deal has made us less secure, which is the biggest reason I didn't want to see it killed.
To waste on some pathetic loser who thinks Lindbergh was a Nazi???
LOL! No, I don't have that much time on my hands...
So if you had been Governor of South Carolina several years back you would have tod BMW not to build an assembly plant there?
You do realize this isn't Bolivia, don't you?
If this makes us less secure in a former Marine's eye, then I need to remind the former Marine that I learned all I needed to know about arabs on 9/11. I still do not like the Brits owning the ports, but their citizens in general, don't want to see our destruction. Muslims do. And while there are most upper end Arabs who want a serious business relationship with us, not far below them are the arabs who want us destroyed.
No...
