Bush is playing the race card to defend UAE ports deal...
Edited on Tue Feb-21-06 01:40 PM by bushmeat
This entire thing reminds me of Harriett Miers. And that was all *. I think this is the same.

Its all about *'s personal friendship with UAE and *'s arrogance.

The spin from the WH is the race card.

BUSH is playing the race card.

Why can't we call him on it?

1. Why does he play the terrorist card?
That's the ONLY issue.

This one should be easy, especially if the UAE is linked to terrorism.

Either way, this selling of 6 presumably major ports shouldn't be happening to a large, soverign country...

10. The UAE recognizes the Taliban (one of only 3 countries)...
and they aren't friends of Israel, either.

Peace.

4. Yet his entire middlesast policy is based upon the assumption
that "muslims are terrorists." Saddam = Osama.

7. I really...
don't think that the GOP lawmakers will play this the same though--they have to run again and Dubya does not!;-)

12. What a bleeding heart liberal he turned out to be.
Remember how PC got a hit after 9/11 because the screeners complained they weren't allowed to profile? Those Republicans are slimy snakes.
