5. Can we wait till the Repub Congress has swallowed the hook??

Why are we democrats playing stupid and acting against our own interest.

The rhetoric on the Dubai Ports is 90% flag-waving, Xenophobic garbage and political rabble rousing. It is a sad spectacle to see the LA times remind our Senator that banning foreign terminal ownership would immediately terminate the California economy:

“Memo to Boxer: 13 of the 14 container terminals at the ports of L.A. and Long Beach, the biggest port complex in the U.S., are run by foreign-owned companies.”

We are now oblivious to the fact that the NeoCon tactics being used against the UAE now have the same stench as the propaganda against Chavez’s Venezuela.

What is most perplexing is that the Arab Ports Deal Saves Democrats, Impeaches Bush, could sink the Republican congress, BUT the NeoCons re going to manipulate democrats into killing it and saving their anti-arabist agenda.
