Dubai Port Company to Divest Itself of American Holdings

(...)

"We want to protect the American people," said House Speaker Sen. J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill). "We've been doing it the last four and a half years. We fought a war in Iraq, fought a war in Afghanistan, stood up to the Homeland Security Department. We will continue to do that. We will maybe have our differences, but we think we're going to continue to oppose the Dubal deal," he said Thursday morning.

1. The man is delusional.

I think he has been in one too many headlocks.

[radfringe]

2. I think he mispoke

meant to say "Bent over for Homeland Insecurity department..."

[laheina]

4. Right, not to mention

that it is *their own* Homeland Security Department: Created by them, appointed by them, funded and controled by them. So who is the "we"?

[MadMaddie]

3. Could they be unraveling before our very eyes?

:wtf:

5. His memory is a little off since...

...getting a hunk of Chicago bratwurst stuck in his neck artery.

9. I hate when that happens.

6. Doncan Hunter hawked the Repugs are great on security all the while

he was talking of the port deal the other night. over and over

[Tempest]

7. He's speaking to the ignorant American sheeple

You know, his constituency.

[Chimichurri]

8. This is a ruse to make the repukes look strong on security and

a way for them to seem distanced from Chimpy just in time for 2006. Dubai will maintain control of the 21 ports under the name of what appears to be an american company.

They are all snake oil sales men. Every one of them.

[redqueen]

10. They lie more than they tell the truth...

that's all you need to keep in mind.

[Lindsay]

11. You mean you've actually caught one of them

telling the truth!?!?!?!?

[nevergiveup]

12. I am embarrassed

to confess he is my congressman. :blush:

13. No...its Hastert "SAYS WHAT" cles of Narnia...nt
