Let me help you out, LW: Your earlier "hint" that Republicans are against the deal was not helpful. I'm against the deal. I'd like to hear from some of you Democrats: Is Bush or the Democrats who oppose this deal correct on this issue?

So far I've seen an "I don't know" from Walter, which is as close to a responsive answer as I've gotten.

I believe in economic free trade:

Free Trade

BTW, I also believe in "competitive advantage," but our country will lose this important advantage, because our educational system is not keeping up with other developed countries in math and science. That's our fault.

Good for you.

Now, how about answering my question?

Our enemies can collectively crash the dollar and bring the American economy to it's knees and bush and his gang will fly away on private jets loaded with forigen money. America disbanded into the Global free market.

Well, since allowing a foreign country to manage our ports has little or nothing to do with "economic free trade," I'm not sure it does.

If you think you've already answered my question, I don't see why it's so difficult for you to clarify what your answer is.

Well, since you put it that way, Bush is wrong about almost everything so why should he stop there?

I'd thought the talks were about one (and now a second) COMPANY?

Right, Walter, it is a COMPANY, even though it's from a country that has as many civil rights problems as China and the old Iraq.

Thomas Jefferson to
John Taylor, 1816

"I sincerely believe ... that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity under the name of funding is but swindling futurity on a large scale."

Tico, Ask a specific question. My answer that I advocate "free trade" is universal - but there are always exceptions. I do not believe we should allow nuclear weapons technology to be traded with other countries whether freind or foe.

Who's correct on the Dubai deal, c.i. .... Bush or the Democrats who oppose the deal?

If you ask the Voice of America,

Quote:

Republicans, like California Congressman Jerry Lewis, had led the charge in opposing the deal.

it would seem the Democrats were following the lead of the Republicans ... so your answer would come from the Republicans.

VOA link

<aren't the Republicans still in control of the House and Senate as well as the White House?>

If I understand the ownership correcly, it is a company wholly owned by the Dubai emirate.

Okay. Here's my specific question ...

Who's correct on the Dubai deal: Bush or the Democrats who oppose the deal?

Interestingly, I'm not .... I'm asking c.i. (and anybody else, for that matter).

Here are the responses thus far:

Walter: I don't know.
c.i.: Your question isn't specific enough.
McTag: All Bush supporters are arses.
LW: I don't really know how I ought to answer your question, but Bush is always wrong, so I'll go with that.
ehBeth: Ask VOA.

Well, others say, DP-World is owned by the United Arab Emirates ('s government).

Well, let's say the others are correct: what distinction were you trying to make by pointing out the deal has to do with a "company" as opposed to a "country."
