Yeah, KO! Just mentioned 21 ports, not 6! Someone's setting

[babylonsister]

the record straight!

[fooj]

1. He's the REAL thing, IMO.

Peace.

[liveoaktx]

23. VIDEO

Plus the poll

[SeattleGirl]

2. I was so glad to hear him say that, since Wolfie said "6 ports"

over and over again this past hour.

[babylonsister]

3. There's that libural media

again. :eyes: Hell, they can't even tell the truth. Bet Faux isn't either!

[xray s]

4. where are those other ports?

wanna bet they are all in Red states? maybe that's why BushCo and its corporate media whores don't mention them?

[LSparkle]

5. I think you may be right -- several are in Florida and on Gulf Coast

smaller ports from what I've heard and none on the west coast (I don't think).

[babylonsister]

11. Longshoremen were protesting today in Seattle.?? nt

[LSparkle]

12. probably just to show solidarity -- and as a warning shot

"hands off our port!"

[Catchawave]

6. Bet he'll name them soon...

...still on story #5/Libbyleakgate

[SeattleGirl]

7. I don't know, but hopefully KO will say which ones.

This whole idea is f**ked up, and if it's 21 instead of 6, it's even worse. Living in Seattle, I really don't want the UAE or ANY other country to police our ports. And even if Seattle ISN'T on the list, it still pisses me off.

[babylonsister]

9. I know there are a few in red TX, so you could be right. nt

[Tin Man]

15. P&O in TX - Houston, Beaumont, Corpus Christi, Port Arthur, Galveston, Fre

10. I heard there's one here in

Nebraska!






Sorry. Couldn't stop myslef. :spank:

[Catchawave]

8. I heard he's going to tell us tonight to sign

bill o'reilly's petition to have him fired so he and his staff can take a year off with pay :D

[CottonBear]

13. How have I missed this 21 ports story? Are there more than 6 in play? n/t

[babylonsister]

14. Yes. From Corpus Christi, TX, all up and down the coast. KO

said he'd have more on it next week.

UAE terminal takeover extends to 21 ports

UPI Pentagon Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 (UPI) -- A United Arab Emirates government-owned company is poised to take over port terminal operations in 21 American ports, far more than the six widely reported.

The Bush administration has approved the takeover of British-owned Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Co. to DP World, a deal set to go forward March 2 unless Congress intervenes.

P&O is the parent company of P&O Ports North America, which leases terminals for the import and export and loading and unloading and security of cargo in 21 ports, 11 on the East Coast, ranging from Portland, Maine to Miami, Florida, and 10 on the Gulf Coast, from Gulfport, Miss., to Corpus Christi, Texas, according to the company's Web site.

16. Holy cow! Can we trust UPI/Moonie Times on this story? n/t

[Tin Man]

17. just TX - Hou, Beaumont, Corpus Christi, Port Arthur, Freeport, Galveston

[babylonsister]

18. Article says from Gulfport, MS, to CC, TX. We're looking at 15

additional terminals.

[Tin Man]

21. I apologize for the confusion - 6 ports in TX alone

:)

[babylonsister]

22. Gotcha!

:thumbsup:

[Tin Man]

19. News Hour reports 60% of US Army equip passes thru Port Arthur, TX

Port Arthur is operated by P&O, soon to be DPW. Do we want a foreign nation to control our ability to ship military hardware overseas?

[CottonBear]

20. No. This story just gets worse and worse. n/t

[finecraft]

24. Ports in Baton Rouge and New Orleans are included in the deal

that would give DP World control of the lower Mississippi River. FYI-The Port of Lake Charles is also included. This is one heck of a mess.

[CottonBear]

25. Damn. Just damn. I wonder how long this has been in the works?

Before or after Katrina?
