Dubai Ports Request 45 Day Investigation

News:
DP World has asked the U.S. Committee on Foreign Investment for a 45-day investigation of its acquisition of P&O's U.S. terminal operations. The request came after a huge uproar in Congress over the sale of security at U.S. ports to a United Arab Emirates-owned company. A spokesperson for the White House said, "he was pleased that Dubai Ports reached a middle ground with Congress." National Security adviser, Stephen Hadley said he and his people will work with Congress as long as it does not block the transaction.

Camels

There is an ancient saying in the mid east: "Let a camel stick his nose under the tent flap at flap at night and you will wake up with a camel in your bed." The terrorist of the world, including all of the UAE, are laughing their heads off at what fools Americans are. Particularly they are enjoying a lot of glee over the stupidity of American legislators and what even greater fools we are for electing them. A little tiny country with obviously a lot higher intellenge than the total of Americans will bring the mightest nation on earth to their knees. Why isn't anyone terrrified that with the crazy little would be tsar in chargethe US population can be held with no other outside force coming to our rescue? Why aren't we all talking that this deal is just another manisfestation of Bush's insanity? History taught us that Nero played his fiddle while Rome burned. There was never a question that Nero was anything other than insane. Bush played his guitar while people drowned, and with the crazy John McCain. He surely knew that New Orleans was drowning while celebrating his birthday. Since Bush seems to hide behind women's skirts, doing business with persons wearing thobes (long white dresses) is probably very comfortable for him. Have any women in skirts done anything but nurture him? Don't believe for one second thaat the men of the UAE are unaware of this and know how to work it, including showing the Bushes respect with the cultural kissing and hand holding. The men of the UAE are very aware that this is not American culture and they know that the Americans who do understand will not speak out because the "knowers" are not rascist but do not want to put with the stupidity of people who naively attribute all the physical contact as a cultural difference. Yes, I am terrified. Not of just the UAE, many of whom I like and respect, but to learn just how dumb Americans are and our cultural denials.
