It's amazing how blind or how far we will go in our quest to be anti-Bush--even to the point of accepting blanket racism when it suits our political agenda, eh? My Programming Library C#, C# Run

Ha! The Carlyle Group? Did you know? "The Carlyle Group’s major investor is none other than George Soros –and it was his investments that put Carlyle on the map. The top officials at the Carlyle Group are: Arthur LeVitt (Clinton’s Chairman of the SEC), Tom McLarty (Clinton’s White House Chief of Staff), William Kennard (Clinton’s Chairman of the FCC). Carlyle Group owns Lowe’s Theaters which showed Moore’s movie…therefore using Moore’s own model we can link the Bin Ladens to Carlyle and to Soros and to John Kerry and to Moveone.org and to Michael Moore."http://mobyrebuttal.blogspot.com/2004/10/brief-education-for-democrats-co.html My mom told me once that "while we all don't speak the same language, everyone in the world undestands an asskicking"

No offense, but you're an idiot. Every person who voted for him gave him that trust.
espeir, I agree with pretty much everything you say. But tone it down bit. People will quit listening to you if keep calling them idiots. But yes you are right, we gave him that trust. I also remember in philosophy class talking about how EVERYONE only does things in their own self interest. That includes everyone in this forum.

"I trust Bush's motives to do what's in the best interests of the country." I think there is a minor difference. I trust Bush to do what he thinks is in the best interests of the country. But what he thinks is in the best interests, and what I think are the best interests may not always coincide. I think it is every citizen's duty to monitor the behaviour of our leaders, and let them know when we have a difference of opinion.

Well, that's flat out wrong. I happen to know some Bush voters, and while i don't agree with their choice i respect it as an attempt to make the best of a bad situation.
Now taking suggestions for the next release of CPhog...

Thank you, I rest my case.
Your case is kind of shaky.... WikiPedia[^] ...both Democratic and Republican members of Congress expressed concern over the potential negative impact the deal would have on port security. They cited the 9/11 Commission report, which stated that two of the 9/11 hijackers were UAE nationals, and reports that the UAE was a major financial base for the al Qaeda terror network. I will concede that there most likely is a large amount of people that don't like the plan simply because that company is based in the Middle East..... but you can't put that blanket assumption on everyone. -J
Think of a computer program. Somewhere, there is one key instruction, and everything else is just functions calling themselves, or brackets billowing out endlessly through an infinite address space. What happens when the brackets collapse? Where's the final 'end if'? Is any of this making sense? -Ford Prefect
The 9/11 guys came from all over the middle east. And Al Qaeda money was based all over the world (including Europe). The UAE condemned the attacks and offered logistical support with the operations in the middle east. They're probably ne of our strongest allies there. Kuwait, too.

You are big on this racist thing.... So Bush says: Any government that supports, protects or harbours terrorists is complicit in the murder of the innocent and equally guilty of terrorist crimes. And the 9/11 Commission says: ...that two of the 9/11 hijackers were UAE nationals, and reports that the UAE was a major financial base for the al Qaeda terror network. Yes I know I used this 'quote' already today. The Treasury Department had reported: The UAE stonewalled U.S. efforts to track al Qaeda bank accounts after 9/11. It looks to me that the people who are questioning this deal are taking to heart what Bush said in that top quote..... -J

Not knowingly, though. They were just from there. The Taliban ran Al Qaeda (or vice versa). After 9/11 they quickly came to our aid. I agree that it is an anti-Arab thing.

Why are you "cautious"? Because they are Arab, right? You've based your fear on their origin, right? On their race, right? Thank you, I rest my case. My Programming Library C#, C# Run
What are you, stupid? I am cautious because it's a state-owned company. I would be cautious if it was a company owned by Great Britain, too. Look at the Panama Canal - China controls both ends of it and any time they want to, they can close one end or the other. That deal was snuck by the US people too. ------- sig starts "I've heard some drivers saying, 'We're going too fast here...'.

Your right! Holy cow. Good job. The fustrating thing for liberials, is they cannot use this. Because then they would have to admit Islam is not a religion of peace! Brilliant! My mom told me once that "while we all don't speak the same language, everyone in the world undestands an asskicking"

No it wasn't. Jimmy Carter flatly gave it away (sooooo stupid). Panama later decided to sell off rights to China because they were too inept to run it themselves. It was done right in front of the American people.
