The Dubai Port Deal

I wonder...why don't they outsource the executive branch of government?
 
 Wait, it's already been outsourced to the Saudi royal family.

Would it be possible to outsource the Iraq war to The United Arab Emirates, as well..?

Maybe we should put little crescent moons next to each and every little star of our flag.

Or tear's.

i don't understand why people are getting their panties in a bunch about this, considering the only reason it is going to be managed by a company out of dubai is because that company bought out the brittish company that was already doing it! pretty racist if you ask me.

I have to agree. It does smell more like rascism than anything else. Many of the comments I've read by Baltimore's mayor sound just like something George Wallace would have said in the '50s. I agree that there is a legitimate security concern, but the vitriol is out of proportion.

We have nothing to fear from these Arab gulf countries...

 We're just being racists, as per usual.

There are clear distinctions between British and UAE ownership. How about the fact that 85% of the people in UAE hate our guts, think the 9/11 attack was well deserved etc; this is all documented in poll after poll:

 If the British had these feelings I'd agree that we shouldn't have allowed them control either, but let's deal in reality

Amen!  Not to mention the Arab method of war, Jihad.  They seem to prefer the dirty-tricks style of mayhem.   I say they don't deserve the benefit of the doubt if they wage war in this underhanded, guerilla manner.

I think we should put all the Americans of Arab descent in internment camps, just to be safe.  I mean, you just can't trust those sneaky little camel jockeys.  I saw one of 'em hanging out by the reservoir the other day.

Would this include Paula Abdul too?  If so, then I am in favor.

Kareem Abdul Jabbar would have to go too.  
 
 Did you see Airplane?
