If this is hypocrisy, we need more of it. <BR/><BR/>Hypocrisy can be resolved by two means: becoming completely hawkish or becoming completely anti-defense. I’m under no delusion that this is the first step at a reformation of the Democratic Party. But my view is that we should say to our Democratic friends “we like you when you talk tough.” The details are far less important. <BR/><BR/>By the way, Chuck Schumer has waged a one-man campaign for tighter port operations since 9/11. He wants more containers checked, new technology developed, and more policing. On his part, this isn’t a new issue.Jason Pappashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18233796281520274898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-1140783763496991152006-02-24T12:22:00.000+00:002006-02-24T12:22:00.000+00:00Don;t forget the CIA missed an opportunity to take...Don;t forget the CIA missed an opportunity to take out Bin Laden because he was meeting with the UAE royals.<BR/><BR/>http://www.nysun.com/article/27936Jay.Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04806932376478242650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-1140756773823279962006-02-24T04:52:00.000+00:002006-02-24T04:52:00.000+00:00A lot of Republicans are against this deal too, I ...A lot of Republicans are against this deal too, I hope it fails.kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658957686218001026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-1140754425993360782006-02-24T04:13:00.000+00:002006-02-24T04:13:00.000+00:00Interesting points, a goonion supporter I am not, ...Interesting points, a goonion supporter I am not, but some things still bother me about the ports deal.<BR/><BR/>(1) <B> I doubt this deal would be as widely resisted if Dubai Ports was truely a private company.</B><BR/><BR/>(2) <B>Would we not even resist the nationalization of port facilities if the nation was our own?</B><BR/><BR/>(3) <I>one of our very best allies in the LONG WAR.</I> <B>who appears to have blackmailed our executive branch,cooperation being contigent on Bush admin. support for this deal</B><BR/><BR/>(4) <I>Our PORT SECURITY has NOTHING/ZERO/ZILCH/NADA/BUPKUS to do with who off-loads/on-loads containers in the terminals</I> <BR/><BR/><B>Should we, likewise, be comfortable in leaving pedophilles in charge of a daycare that happens to be next to a police station.</B>maccusgermanishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01887574496312472556noreply@blogger.com
