Dubai and Congress must think people are STUPID- blackmail in the
morning "If you don't pass this, demmit, we'll pull all our financial deals from Boeing, etc... FRIEND" to "lalala, we're happy to pass this over to an american ENTITY"

Yeah, sure. Like front companies really run and financed by a foreign company.

2. Yeah I mean pretty much no matter waht Dubai does
We know they are a bunch of evil bastards. And bastards don't change their spots. So whatever they do, you can rest assured that they are doing it because they are evil bastards.

3. The base of the republican party
is extremely ignorant and malleable. It won't matter what they do as long as a republican stands up and says its okay.

5. I just yesterday got 4 books for reading on the Iran-Contra scandal
because of wanting to see what is going on NOW in context to what was going on THEN. I've only read a few pages in the book "Firewall" and am already disgusted.

6. And they got away with every effing bit of it...
I will never forget the end of the "Hearings". Listening to KPFT (Houston) and Larry Bensky in tears, wondering what had happened to our Nation and us, as a people.

So here it is again.

The Dragon never dies, he just goes back to the lair and waits, watching.
