I am always wondering where Congress is at the outset of some of these issues.
The sale of P&O to DPI was reported months ago, but all of a sudden every Sen and Rep and all the MSM are "concerned" and in an uproar at the 11th hour.
The same thing happened during Abu Grahib -- the military had reported the incident to both Congress and the media months before and military investigations were taking place, but no one made a peep until the pictures were shown on TV, then everyone was wringing their hands and call for investigations
Give 'em hell Rush!!!
“We all need to take a moment and not rush to judgment on this matter without knowing all the facts. The President’s leadership has earned our trust in the war on terror, and surely his administration deserves the presumption that they would not sell our security short. Dubai has cooperated with us in the war and deserves to be treated respectfully. By all means, let’s do due diligence, get briefings, seek answers to... "
Which makes one wonder why they waited to have their hissy?
simple minded....ha ha
McKeating...er, McCain, you've had since the end of October. What the heck have you been waiting for? Instructions?
Amazing...Sen. McCrazy got it right! Having said that, for all McCain's issues, he always has been there on defense. He's good at those things. And Rush is on a Roll!
Rush doesn't seem to be agreeing with Mark Levin about the ports.
Rush is very animated today....LOL
I'm here, probably in LURK mode.
Got a six-week test to write.
Rush is looking good...blue checkered polo shirt which shows off his tan...
Hutchison? As in Hutchison Wampoa?
He is! He started yesterday, but now he's cooking!
DANG! He's spot on!
I'm jealous I want to see!!!!!!!!!!!!
What did McCain say I missed that one?
CBS Pentagon correspondent David Martin acknowledged Monday that he killed a report about how the U.S. was dealing with Improvised Explosive Devices in Iraq after a senior military officer complained that it contained information useful to the enemy.
Martin, writing on the CBS blog Public Eye, said that the report had been scheduled to air as the lead story on the CBS Evening News on Thursday and that he pulled it just one hour before airtime. "Not a good career move," he wrote. Martin further acknowledged that he had set aside other stories at the request of the Pentagon "a number of times over the years, and each time it's turned out that going with the story wouldn't have caused any harm." In the latest case, he said, he concluded that his report "might conceivably be news the enemy could use to make their IEDs more effective. It wasn't clear cut, but it was close enough."
So does this mean that he feels that it was not a good career move to hold back on a story that might aid the enemy???
Better to kill the story than a few dozen Marines.
I don't care how much convincing Rush is trying to do on this Ports Deal. I'm against it. This is all part of the Fast Track/Free Trade crap and an end run aroung Congress' responsibility to regulate commerce with foreign nations (which they have abdicated) and the treaty clauses. Welcome to the result. Boards and commissions and executive "experts" deciding policy on our ports and commerce instead of our elected representatives.
