DU UAE Port Fiasco Talking Point?
HYPOCRISY!!!

The UAE doesn't recognize the state of Israel, yet they can get control of six US ports, while the gov't of Palestine - who also does not recognize Israel - get's their US funding yanked for just that reason...

2. Good point--here's another
Edited on Wed Feb-22-06 10:54 AM by kenny blankenship
For reasons of national security, according to George Bush, we must not be "hostage" to foreign oil--prices for which are set by the majority producer nations around the Arab Persian Gulf--since everyone knows (so Bush claims) that we are at war with extreme forces hailing from that part of the world, in a "long war" expected to last all our lives, BUT-

but, we must sell our ports to them.

WTF?
