Do you think Bin Laden's video system is as good as yours?

Bin Laden's been using a Sony 3 chip camera of one type or another for
some time now. The last one I could make out in one of the released
stills looked like it was a 150 series camera costing about 4K. That's
a better video camera than I currently own. Bin Laden is both wealthy
and free. The very idea that anyone is hunting him is plain silly.

There is always room for a "new" super villain to scare folks like
Scotty and Bart until they wet the bed. Bin Laden's freedom through
Bush has never been in doubt, nor has the insult to the American
public.
Bush is a criminal.

Throughout history the US has supported and funded many of its enemies.

FDR turned half of Europe over to Communism and then the US spent trillions
fighting it for 60 years. Noriega, Castro, the Saudis, etc, etc.

Who do you think profits from all of this?

Even defense contractors (such as Loral) turn secrets over to the Chicoms so
they become a bigger threat and the defense contractors get more contracts.

It's all a racket.

They'll all be swimming in the lava lakes.

Amen!

Have you ever been to a US port? Security? What a joke!
WalMart type rent-a-cops , lazier than the longshoreman who
'work' there.
yeah, they stepped up security after 9/11, now you must
flash your driver's license as you enter. That's it!
And at some ports, once the guards know you, as a regular,
you can just wave as you drive in.

I'm even OK with a chain of King Tut, or Abaulla Bob's gas (petrol)
stations. But somethings stinks with this port deal.


I'm not sure how I come down on the substance of this one, but one thing's
clear--all the screaming and yelling reflects pure Xenophobia rather than
a
reasoned analysis. And now no matter how it's resolved, it will come back
to
bite us.


What Joe has described clearly is not Xenophobia, but rather a well
reasoned, fair and logical response to the situation.

Xenophobia denotes a phobic attitude toward strangers or of the unknown and
comes from the Greek words ????? (xenos), meaning "foreigner," "stranger,"
and ????? (phobos), meaning "fear." The term is typically used to describe
fear or dislike of foreigners or in general of people different from one's
self.

Joe has no problem with Middle Easterners running business in the US, he
just objects to foriegn interests, namely Middle Eastern, running our
ports. Ports are a point of entry into the US. Ports are a bottle neck to US
foriegn trade. Just as the US didn't want Communists running our security
clearance systems, why would a reasonable person want a Middle Eastern
company involved with our ports? It is the stated aim of Muslims to kill
infidels (not much different from Communist Doctrine). People from these
countries come here and attack the US, killing citizens. Americans are
killed in these countries. US ships have been attacked in ports in those
countries. Shipping is the easiest method of delivering large weapons to the
US. They don't even have to get into port to do significant damage. The
Middle Eastern countries lack security measures, technology and US
jurisdiction to gaurantee a level of security comfortable to reasonable
people. Yes, yes there are many nice and peaceful Muslims but those are not
the ones of concern. Why make it any easier for people who want to harm
America when there are better alternatives?

Why is Bush "cracking down" on American citizens but yet opening the door
for foriegners to get into this country so easily? The Southern Border is
wide open and now the ports to be run by Middle Easterners? Yet an old lady
can't carry a nose hair clipper onto a plane?

Something really stinks about this port deal. American citizens are being
sold out.





One of Lenno's lines last night made me laugh at the foolishness and just
plain ignorance of his Hollywood script writers. Something about turning
over operation of our ports to a country that's all desert. What planet do
these people live on? Do they think oil gets carried from the Mideast to
the
US via a transatlantic pipeline? Duh...

Exactly.

No one can tell me an UAE company can run a port facility cheaper, and
more efficiently when they have to hire lobbiest like Bob Dole, and pay
the cost of getting into the bigboys clubs better or cheaper than 100's
of US companies.

Screw Bush on this one. I think he has underestimated the backlash on
this shady deal.

I hope the Governers cancel the leases, and the longshoremen start
acting like longshoremen :0)

Tugboat Captains, and port pilots should refuse to board any ship bound
to any terminal that is UAE controlled.

Sheeeze.... next thing you know we will be staffing the border patrol
with the French foreign legion.

Someone is walking around with some fat pockets on this deal. And when
someone has to buy and lobby into our ports...... I smell something
very fishey, and it ain't a pogy boat.

Joe
Don't mess with our ports
