Oh A.S., stop playing both sides of the fence...

As soon as you stop listening to Rush Limbaugh every day.

dang...where did my ditto go???

Yesterday as I was driving to the local bank branch, I was browsing my radio presets. Happened upon Rush telling his listeners that the best way to control health costs was for employers to stop giving paid sick days. He said if you had no sick days you'll never get sick. I had a good laugh and changed the channel.

About all you CAN do is have a good laugh... and then shudder...

Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Co is a british company - i don't see anyone screaming national security and what not before? are we just afraid of dem a-rabs?

Uh...last time we were attacked by the Brits was in 1812....9/11 was just 4 1/2 years ago.

Once again you're distorting the presidents words, and his message. We are not to be afraid of ARABS/MUSLIMS, but rather a few that would make war on us. It's Al Queda; not the ARABS. It's never been the ARABS!

What's hard to understand here?

And the sudden Islamophobia in the US as well as the conviction that Iraq was responsible for or at least connected with 9/11 has nothing to do with the rhetoric of this administration? Where have you been sleeping?

My fear of Islamo-fascists has nothing to do with anything Bush has said. It is a direct result of the behavior of the Islamo-fascists and the failure of "moderate" Muslims to rise up against them. And it came well before the administration's "rhetoric" began.

Will you stop buying grocery at Pathmark in the hypothesis that the 9/11 highjackers bought their cutters there??

If you hear something that sounds unbelievable, like Bush selling ports to an Arab nation, it probably is unbelievable and is worth your investigation... Just a suggestion though. If some conspiracy theories have some credibility, this one doesn’t, in my opinion at least. UAE is one of the closest American allies in the Middle East, if not the only one. Slapping the face at an ally in the Arab world at such a critical time would be just fine…. (Sarcastic)

For how much Bush knew and didn't know is another issue, but I don't think it is relevant in this particular case.

Viva el President!

I have no doubt our ports will be safe in the hands of the UAE. After all, they are just protecting their cash flow.
