And your point is???????????? LOL, Just kidding! - I've got the point.
I have requested that Peach quit posting to me since all she does is harass me. I avoid her and will continue to do so in the future.
LOL..........probably not.

Another one surfaced in the looney geography teacher caper in Colorado. Everyone was all upset about him ranting his "opinion" about the President. But nobody seems concerned about his plain mis-statement of fact. Included was the Urban Legend that during the Iraq -Iran War, we supplied Iraq with, in Mr. Bennish's words, "Airplanes, missles, guns and tanks. Wrong all all 4 counts. But because it goes unchallenged, it's just accepted as "common knowledge.'

I can guarantee you that if the shoe were reversed, our country would do EXACTLY what the UAE is doing."

You are absolutely right!
If I'm denied the opportunity to compete in a specific market. I take my business elsewhere.
On a micro scale, I stopped shopping at Target because of their Christmas policies. Why should a huge nationally owned company be any different?
That might give `em a little "perspective".
Me thinks you have it backwards. They are allowing the use of their country to our military. Arabs only need our protection if they are our friends. Killing this deal will harm our security, not help it.
What evidence is there that we-or anyone else, for that matter-are preparing for a military strike-let alone, the sustained air campaign that disabling a nuclear program that's been in place for over a decade would require-against the IRI?
So much for civility on FR, eh? Well, I guess those folks approve of welching on deals with allies--at this rate, we won't have any left in no time at all. This is not a good time to be making still more enemies in that region. (And anyone thinking that only Dubai will be peeved over this, think again. Our word isn't worth much if we go back on this deal, and don't think it won't be noted.)
we shouldn't have to be drawing up sides like this.
It only benefits people like Hillary and Schumer.
LOL
who is going to take them over?
Oman?
Saudi?
LOL
they're ALL RELATED!!!
The alarmist hysteria over this deal is breathtaking.
I suppose that is their choice to cancel the deal with Boeing. UAE doesn't treat Jews very well I hear. Of course, that comes as no surprise. If Bush does push this through, I think there will be payback come fall elections. Time will tell.
ok call me an appeaser.
That's call you can do. Call people like me appeasers and piss off our allies in a crucial region of the world.
Way to freakin go.
Semper Fi
Dubai presses on with port takeover
http://www.metronews.ca/reuters_international.asp?id=135897
DUBAI (Reuters) - Dubai Ports pressed ahead on Thursday with a takeover that gives it control of six major U.S. ports despite a Congress committee vote to block the deal.
SNIP
"It's American double standards. Do you think that businesses and governments here won't react and even retaliate?" said Wadah Al Taha of the National Bank of Abu Dhabi.
You obviously don't know what "threat" means. UAE remainded the brainless that actions have consequences. Piss on their head and pay a price. Presumably one could piss on yours without consequence since you wouldn't want to "threaten" anyone.
Keep following Chuck the Schmuck's lead HE really has the best interests of the Nation at heart.
You are quite correct. People seem to be missing this from the article:
An industry official with knowledge of Boeing’s contracts with Dubai said that the company has been involved in the emirate and that it would take a lot “to knock” those relationships.
well when you figure out how to get a deep water port in that area of the world WITHOUT having Arab Muslims as our ally, you tell me.
Those believing that meaningful peace can be "negotiated" prior to reform, containment or defeat of this ideology, are reminiscent of Neville Chamberlain
Had to post it again!!!
