UAE Ports- PO Strategic Deal?

Unread postby FossilFool » Tue 21 Feb 2006, 20:37:45

I wondered if anyone here might have insight about the United Arab Emirates deal for the ports. Maybe, a deal for UAE to be nice to USA? Maybe something deeper? I don't know.

An addict can only go so long on credit and must inevitably start selling off all the things he has of any value. Soon America will be a mostly foreign owned piece of real estate and we will only be the renters and the hired help.

I voted yes, the US should demonstrate how capitalism is played. That is if you have the money everything in the US is for sale, and even better you can buy the things with your petro-dollars to get rid of them while they still have some notional value.

To annoy the US even more, change all the signs at the port to Arabic.

Of course the US will still find some excuse to steal it from you sometime in the future.

I remember a few months ago, reading something about a MASSIVE nat' gas deal between the UAE and the USA...I wonder if the ports are part of that deal (?).

Somebody said on another post "it's like selling your last kidney to pay the rent"...i think that statement is accurate. :(
