Port Gate

[5stringJeff]

Has anyone here ever heard of the old phrase: "Better safe than sorry?" It applies here. Their history with terrorism is enough for me to kill the thing for all time. Call me too conservative.

Wow... imagine if Bush had taken that tack on September 12th. We'd already being being Arabic. Ya Allah!

"hmmm how can we save this so called RWA ?"

Let's focus on saving the country: "NO to the port deal!"

 

[Mr. P]

I'm still waiting for facts. Too conservative ??

I don’t think you’re lookin for facts at all. I think you’re just waiting to argue more, but here’s a fact; the UAE supports terrorism, terrorism hell bent on destroying the west.
That alone is enough for me to say NO to this deal. Maybe you’d like to just wait and see when the first event occurs, and ask stupid questions like, shouldn’t we have known this could happen? Or, what did we know and when did we know it? Or, who in their right mind would allow a terrorism supporter to have ANYTHING to do with U.S. ports?
Don’t ask for links, the information has been posted all over this board.

disinformation you mean---where is the proof that this deal endangers national security? I haven't heard anything concrete about it---anywhere!
should be simple--tired of me?--show me proof.

Wow, imagine ya get her pregnant, then put on the condom.
After the fact Jeff, apples an oranges.

There will never be proof for the mindless.

this can't be right---it infers that there has been changes to the system since 1776.

The 1776 operation has not changed....collect taxes and provide port security...but technology has somewhat caught up...duh! :clap1: That is if ya have a Independent mind along with politics!

 

[Annie]

Listen closely----I have never said I was for the deal. I can't get any information about it. To reject this deal for the reasons that have been proffered so far would be irresponsible AND play right into the DU, liberal BS.
Watching the knee-jerk reactions by so many consevatives is depressing and I'm trying to understand why. I've looked at all the reasons listed on my other post and all of them are based on predjudice. Gotta problem with me wanting some hard core facts?

Yeah, you did:

I have said Xth number of times, set the quotas for Mexico as high as the government wants, but then enforce the immigration rules on ALL illegals.

Dillo's response:
National Security has a million subheadings, all of which have thier own unique problems and solutions. I would lock down our southern border in a heartbeat before I would deny the UAE the port lease. The vetting process for "illegals" ain't all that great when compared to the UAE.
While the both are of national security concern, trying to compare the problems is apples and oranges.
