Bush: I'm worried by message sent by failed port deal

[daveshel]

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush said Friday he was concerned about the "broader message" that the failed port operation deal with a United Arab Emirates company sends to other Arab allies in the U.S. war on terrorism.

Full story

What about the message sent by invading soverign nations, the bombing, the killing...?

What about messages like, "We don't need no stinking warrants?" :|

Is it me, or is it that every single phrase that comes out of Bushes mouth either involves:

Democracy
Liberty
Justice
Freedom
Terrorism

?

 

[conjur]

Then why did he and his cabal in the WH have the UAE scuttle the deal and sell off the port operations to a US company?

Presidents of the USA do seem to think about those things alot, I know, I wish they didn't.

[conjur]

Well, too bad this one doesn't think about them. He just talks about them.

 

[themusgrat]

Maybe so, but I don't see how talking about them is wrong? At least he tries. And is right on this port deal.

 

[conjur]

Because he's all talk and no action. He's campaigning, not governing.


And there is much that needs to be done.

Actually, he is taking plenty of actions to degrade them while he pays them lip service.

The only things he tries to do are:

1. Stay on his bicycle
2. Break an 8 minute mile
3. Get really good pecs
4. pronounce nuclear
5. Ask unkie dick to read a bedtime story, preferably My Pet Goat
6. force Merriam Webster to make suicider a valid word
7. talk to mayors about potholes
8. get the usa closer to a dictatorship
9. stop being misunderestimated
10. Sue the enemy

But Bush doesn't do any of what he constantly recites. He deliberately breaks the law and the US Constition, so he can't be for Democracy.

He invades a country with no creditable evidence whatsoever. So, he can't be for liberty.

He OKs torture and creates hidden prisons in different parts of the world, so he can't be for Justice.

He puts his own people under surveillance through the NSA and turns his own country into a police state. So, he can't be for freedom.

He has yet to find, capture and kill Osama Bin Laden. He himself said he didn't care about him. Bush hasn't brought a single terrorist to justice. So, he can't be for fighting terrorism.

He says all these things, but he does the exact opposite. So, why does he say such words in everything he says when he doesn't practice them himself?

Isn't it ironic that a website purposely distorts a person's quote in order to make it look like THAT person is engaging in propaganda?

Now I would bet 50 bucks that Bush meant "catapult" ie, "Leap over" "get past" the 'propaganda'

Yet that website implies something else.


I love it when the leftists lie about Bush while complaining about Bush lying.

Especially when there's so much straight forward BS to complain about.

EXACTLY. White House asked Dubai Ports to Pull Out

oh and this
CBS News senior White House correspondent Bill Plante reports the announcement came about after the company's consultations with White House political strategist Karl Rove.

GREAT. Dubai struck the deal after talking with Karl Rove. These people are brain-dead. I am glad that this important national security deal was resolved by Karl Rove and not Homeland Security Dept. or the Treasury/State Dept.

The bigger issue is not just this deal which was outrageous even by Bush's low standards, it should be a discussion on who should be managing our ports and vital national. infrastructure.

That is the story the media is not covering.

 

[conehead433]

This deal would have ultimately made Dubya millions as his Dad's ties to the Carlyle group and their deals with the UAE government would have lead to a huge windfall for the Bush family. All I can say is to hell with other governments running our ports. And little Dubya and the Bushs can go wherever.

And don't forget who was helping to broker the deal: Baker Botts. Ayup...same Baker: James Baker.

 

[bctbct]

Seems a little flip flopish considering the "for us or against us" stratergy we have been using since Dubya was ordained.

 

[daniel49]

reading about this on msnbc saw this paragraph for the first time ever.

The firm finalized its $6.8 billion purchase Thursday of Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Co., the British firm that through a U.S. subsidiary runs important port operations in New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, New Orleans, Miami and Philadelphia. It also plays a lesser role in dockside activities at 16 other American ports.

Now again apparently it will be through a us subsidary not an unsure ally.
This administration is failing in border security.
To me this is the number one issue right now.

 

[IdaGno]

Western pol's wouldn't recognize a clash of civilzations even if certain sombodies crashed our own civilian aircraft into some of our skyscrapers.

 

[techs]

Throughout the Arab world American companies, oil companies in particular, have had their assets nationalized by Arab governments and Arab countries refuse to let American companies own or control Arab resources.
So they can have our ports when they give us back the oil fields they nationalized.

 

[WiseOldDude]

The message that Bush needs to be paying attention to is the one to him. STOP GIVING OUR DAMN COUNTRY AWAY! You took an oath to protect our Constitution, when in hell are you going to start Commander Clueless.

Those are direct quotes, not distorted, he does a fine job of doing that himself. And there are SEVERAL quotes that show him saying it would be easier if was a dictatorship, etc.
