This one is too important to entrust to a congress who has been in lock step..They are patronizing us for the moment and the sale has been delayed..not once have i heard that the sale may be prohibited...another slick sleazy move on the part of the administration...
We've got this month to organize ourselves en masse...
I just dont believe that congress will be able to stop the sale...but the American people can...dont ask me how...but I believe that more than 90% of us are opposed...time for action..
this calls for movement unlike any we have ever seen before...even those who support the war are opposed to this..
Organizers, whats up?...whats next?

1. what's wrong with me?
Why is it that I think the real scandal is that George W Bush didn't even know this was happening until after the deal was sealed, then he was sent out like the huckster frontman he is, to sell it to America.

Our ports have been managed by foreign countries for a long time, and there was never any outcry. So what's the real issue here?

2. First off, most people didn't know they were managed by foreign
countries (in fact they weren't managed by foreign countries but by foreign companies).

So you can't blame people for not getting rankled about something they were unaware of.

Secondly, now that they do know there are two issues: one, that there is foreign management at all, and two, the identity of that foreign entity which is owned by Dubai of the UAE.

3. ports have been managed by foreign companies, not state owned companies
and in my opinion, this issue should have been addressed after 911..a little too late since hes almost snuck this one thru...and you are right, hes adamant about the investigation although he knew nothing about it?...right...hes up to his eyeballs in lies and collusion...the issue is more important than he says he didnt know....its that hes lying again...and again...
