Only a died in the wool tin foil hat wearing moonbat liberal would use such a term.

While I am a of a liberal mind even having grown up repugNUT, I WAS actually hoping that Bush would be foolish enough to veto what he swore he would and end up looking more like the buffoon he continually shows himself to be.
BTW...in 2000, I would have voted McCain if Rove hadn't slurred him and promoted Bushbaby.
So he had to ask his cohorts in crime to cover his assets.....That IS after all how Bush HAS been successful, certainly not on Business know how. Daddy's name and position has gotten Bushbaby where he is today, NOT his own merits!!!!!

Pondering The Dubai Ports Firm's Pullout's Impact ...

You could also FEEL the sigh of relief coming from the White House when Dubai Ports World, a company based in the United Arab Emirates, announced it was transferring management operations at six major U.S. ports to a "U.S. entity."

legion,

See the top post. DP World may have backed out, but the U.A.E. isn't happy. There could serious long term ramifications from losing such a source of intelligence. Like I said, Dumb Ass.

No, the Dems were probably hoping Bush would really be bull-headed enough to stick to his veto threat (this time). Some Repubs were ornery enough to let the Pres hang himself, but this caving by the Dubai company saved Bush's bacon (whether he knows it or not). Wonder what they were promised in return...?

That was my first thought when I saw all the Dems climb on board this fiasco. They may end up putting Halliburton in charge of all our ports. I'd indeed laugh at the fools if that is how it turns out. It is at times like this that I wonder if perhaps Democrat is a synonym for Dumb Ass.

The decision by DPW to sell off this deal is a large blow to dhe Republicrats as well as the Democrats. It took the wind right out of their sails ans now they have no place to go, port that is.

We will now have to pause for a period of crying, whining and complaining from the likes of Hilly Mae, Schumer, Dodd and Good ole Harry, the pride of the Dems.

I would point out that absent external investment there is but one firm capable of dealing with operation of so large scale a project;

Haliburton.

Savor that one for a moment.

That is what Eagle Marine is, they are an American subsidiary of Cosco. As I've pointed out, this is typical here in the U.S., American companies just don't run the terminals.

controversy. Rush Limbaugh is in favor of the deal, Sean Hannity and Michael Savage are opposed, for instance. I think there’s a lot of xenophobia tied up under the guise of “national security” in this episode, and I agree with much of whatSteve has to say. Indeed, I had much more trouble with the Chinese national oil company buying Unocal a few months ago than this. Or, for that matter, Venezuela owning Citgo. Posted in Blogging | No Comments

a rundown of blog statements from Andrew Sullivan (who decries Americans' xenophobia) to Glenn Reynolds ("If Halliburton gets the deal, will people think the whole thing was a sucker-punch?"), all of the blog excerpts worth a read. Among them: --James Joyner on Halliburton speculation: "Now that would be sweet! And here you thought Rove and Cheney were losing their touch!" 5) Time Magazine today discloses another already implemented foreign deal, and mentions Halliburton as a possible American firm to
