it's treason, ain't it???

[mopinko]

i mean, come on, letting a foreign power control parts of our borders? how is that not treason?

[Benhurst]

1. Ah, yes; but none dare call it so. NT

5. That would be a great title for a book or something

It has a nice ring to it...

2. Umm but the Brits owned these ports before.

Maybe this is connected to Tony Blair being thrown out of office.

4. But the Brits are fighting beside us in Iraq. UAE isn't. And the Brits..

...have been fighting beside us since dinosaurs roamed the Earth.

6. but the british company was privately owned not state owned.

8. bingo

this is a state owned company. it is ceding u.s. territory without a shot fired. if this ain't treason, what the hell is? (besides torturing people until they spout the lies you need to start a war, crashing airplanes into american buildings, outing covert operatives and destroying their networks, and stuff like that.) but seriously.

9. Right

a privately owned company isn't going to declare war, or decide to take over a country or gee, what if they decided to do what we do so much...stop ships from coming in and going out - starving us of oil and every thing else that is imported (wood, concrete, FOOD, steel, iron, etc...)I'm sure they could get enough soldiers in there to take over the little homeland security and coast guards...he's being really naive or using them for HIS take over...I wonder who PNAC really works for...since they are just the think-tank, who is the $$$$$$$$ ?

7. Now we know how the Arabs feel when ExxonMobil runs their oilfields.

And their airports, and there oil terminals and their hotels and their water treatment plants etcetcetc
