What are you Thinking?

The sale of six US ports to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and our president backing this transaction has me just totally....totally bewildered.

I have tried and tried to back this administration. I'm slowly falling away. Not to the dark side for sure. I guess somewhere in the middle.

The president asks why it is alright for us to back a British-run port authority and not a middle-eastern one?
Here's one:



There are questions:

Didn't the president say we would not cooperate with countries that support terrorism?
Wasn't the UAE one of the few countries that fully recognized the Taliban as a government?
Wasn't two of the 9/11 terrorists from the UAE?
Didn't some money fot 9/11 go through the UAE?

Somthing just ain't right here....

Who has the Saddam Tapes?

The so-called "Saddam Tapes" that allegedly revealed so much about the pre-Iraq war were very interesting. But, in the "ABC News Exclusive," they said,
Rep. Pete Hoekstra, R-Mich., chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, says the tapes are authentic and show that "Saddam had a fixation on weapons of mass destruction and he had a fixation on hiding what he was doing from the U.N. inspectors." Hoeckstra says there are more than 35,000 boxes of such tapes and documents that the U.S. government has not analyzed nor made public that should also be translated and studied on an urgent basis.


My first and still most pressing question is, which U.S. government agency has these 35,000 boxes of tapes and who is translating and analyzing them?

What's the deal?

Was this just another act of yellow journalism by ABC News? Is the whole Saddam Tapes thing just going to be dropped and never taken up again?
Who is minding the store?
Who is making sure this will be done?
