Brits weren't in the cockpit of a plane that killed thousands of my countrymen. That pretty much sums it up. Yea call me a bigot, call me a closed minded cunt, call me a racist, call me a larper for all I care. Point of the matter is. I don't like it.

at least you're not sugarcoating it ;)

You're wrong, but that's cool.
 
Man, I sure love it when people pretend they have a phd in political science anytime any sort of political event occurs. The news networks were having a damn field day with this, pretty hilarious. Smells like everyday politics and economics to me.

I have a BA in political science! :loco:

So do 'gugs and lizard if I recall correctly. Doesn't mean any of us know shit about shit though.
 
I know Im just being an asshole for the sake of it. Im working on a minor in Political science right now myself. That way I too can bitch about the woes of society and have a framed sheet of paper to back me up.
 
BA from UNH, one of the preeminent poli sci depts. In the nation.

The fact is, a bipartisan uproar has occurred over this…not democrats looking to make hay, but boatloads of conservatives. It's not concern that the country is Arabic per se, nobody is concerned that the heads of the company will be bad, because in arab countries the rich and powerful have a vested interest in the status quo. It's the jillions of ahabs and muhammeds beneath them who could willingly or unintentionally reveal sensitive information about shipments and security.

Gugs, doesn't the fact that these ports support a big percentage of our military deployment capabilities concern you? I'm a little surprised that you are taking this so lightly.
 
consider...the Arab company is owned by the state itself...Some facts about the UAE:

– The UAE was one of three countries in the world to recognize the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan.

– The UAE has been a key transfer point for illegal shipments of nuclear components to Iran, North Korea and Lybia.

– According to the FBI, money was transferred to the 9/11 hijackers through the UAE banking system.

– After 9/11, the Treasury Department reported that the UAE was not cooperating in efforts to track down Osama Bin Laden’s bank accounts.

if we can't trust them on the above points, how can we trust them at all?

then why would you be likely to trust a British firm any more than this one?

Cause there are no Brits running around with bombs blowing shit up .

Fact: only arabs or (Muslims) whatever are blowing shit up daily .
The biggest bombs you ever saw go through these harbors everyday (nat gas tankers)
Bush is a fool ,usually I defend him but not this time ,he's lost his sanity:hotjump:
