Angry Letters from Paradise

"If you will not fight for the right, when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." --Sir Winston Churchill

A Bit of News with Commentary

How about this...they are the homeland of the 9/11 bombers and now, they're in charge of protecting US ports. The Foxes are guarding the henhouse. What a wonderful world!

"By TED BRIDIS, Associated Press Writer Fri Feb 24, 5:32 AM ET
WASHINGTON - The United Arab Emirates gave the Bush administration $100 million to help victims of Hurricane Katrina weeks before a state-owned company there sought U.S. approval for its ports deal.

The White House said Thursday the $100 million for storm victims demonstrates the relationship between the two governments caught in a firestorm over the potential security risks of state-owned Dubai Ports World running significant operations at six major U.S. ports.

The administration said the request for U.S. approval of the $6.8 billion ports deal and the UAE contribution were not related.

"There was no connection between the two events," said Adam Ereli, the deputy State Department spokesman."

Yeah, and there's no connection between what I eat and the size of my ass, either.

"U.S. government (officials acknowleged that) the money it received from the United Arab Emirates was nearly four times as much as it received from all other countries combined. Other nations, including some in the Middle East, also pledged large contributions but have not yet sent the money.
Money from the UAE was previously described by the State Department only as a "very large" contribution. The White House said so far it has received $126 million in international donations, including the UAE money."

Wait, that's 26 million from everyone else, and 100 million from the UAE, but their win on this contract has nothing to do with that, eh?
"Executive chairman of Dubai Ports World, Ahmed bin Sulayem, is not listed among donors."

That's because he's not a dumbshit like his boy, George.

What's it going to take for Americans to wake up and smell the camel dung? They've been sold off to the highest bidder, and had best start teaching their kids Arabic, if they're going to please their new masters in the future.
