So Dubai May Not Sell American Port Operations? It Was Bait and Switch!
Edited on Wed Mar-15-06 10:14 AM by leftyladyfrommo
I just read that over on Truthout.

So just what the hell is going on? Really.

This was all just a joke so that Americans would quit complaining? And they are hoping it will all just die down and then they can operate the ports like they intended?

Say what?

4. So were you guys on to this yesterday?
I wasn't on the computer yesterday afternoon.

Back to the old Bait and Switch thing? Do we just add it to the long list of their Bait and Switch stuff?

This is comtemptible. Do you know what Schummer is doing about it? What the rest of Congress is doing?

3. Heard on Randi Rhodes show last night...
Edited on Wed Mar-15-06 09:58 AM by Juniperx
That the company who is supposed to take over, P&O Ports North America... get this... is owned by Dubai.

Dirty tricks once more and again.

I haven't had a chance to check it out, but everything I've checked up on from her show has been spot on... soooooo

6. I would say their silence is deafening
I guess the * cabal has effectively made them irrelevant

8. We have got to make them irrelevant!
And the only way I can see to do that is to start getting involved at the local level.

9. Yes, Dobbs talked about this last night.
Also the Senate is not letting it go. I can't recall who it was, but somebody has promised to add the death note to this Dubai deal to the bill to increase the debt ceiling that's supposed to take place today (I think).

Frist is trying to say the ports deal is really OK now, but few, if any, are listening to him.

10. Schummer, I think, is the one in the lead here.
Did I spell his name right?

12. Did we expect anything else?
I never thought they'd be honest and above-board about this deal. It is crucial for Bushco to make this deal go through somehow; they need Dubai's port for continuation of their war.
