political opportunists

reasonable people can disagree on what would result from the UAE managing (not controlling) some of our ports, and post 9/11, it makes sense to ask questions and give all deals like this a complete and thorough review. mccain was right when he advocat…

Gosh, I was dumb enough to think that the “reap/sow” thing was from the Bible! No wonder I’m considered an uneducated knuckledragger by brilliance like Robert.

BTW, Robert, welcome to the blog. This is the third consecutive article I’ve reread, and the third consecutive one you added your wisdom, such as it is, to.

I made fun of GW’s “oil addiction” statement because he made it in 2006. (Who says he’s slow?)
Jimmy Carter, for instance, said it in 1976. (And pretty much anyone with a half a brain has known it for years).

The problem for Buah and the UAE is Bush spent the last 4 years scaring the American public about those crazy middle-easterners who hate us.

In the words of Lou Reed: “ou’re gonna reap, just what you sow.”

I have no doubt that the U.A.E. would turn on us in a New York second, if they felt it was in their own economic interest to do so (kinda like most other corporations, don’tcha think?), but it will be a lot of long winters before the islamofascists can offer the kind of profit our economy does.

Saudi Arabia gets away with pandering to both sides (kinda like Hillarious) because it has an economy based solely on oil, and they know the U.S. is dependent upon it, at least for the moment.

It’s too bad everyone made fun of GW for his comment about oil addiction. He was spot on, the Saudis will continue to rape us with oil prices and fill the coffers of the terrorists, and the U.A.E. will continue to do business with us. Until it becomes more profitable to do biz with the terrorists.

Duncan Hunter is indeed doing the work of many. So many of these people in Congress and the Legislature are just banking on this whole shallow Politically Correct thing and getting away with it. Geez, announce you drive a Prius and you get another free term.

Very nicely said.

I wish you had cross-posted with me too … for the So. California crowd, where Duncan Hunter carries so much weight.
