I already stated it's not because they are arabic, but rather, because they could have ties to terrorism within a country that has some ties to terrorism. Perhaps not directly, however it is a known fact UAE banks did nothing to stop the flow of money between international terrorist organizations. Read my damn posts next time, Fliakis. I already mentioned this. We simply need a better investigation before we dive into something such as this.

When was that?? Pre-911?? Pretty much everybody didn't do much about it before that. Lets not forget who gave these terrorists the training and funding in the first place for their own political agenda

I highly doubt that if ...lets say...a French company buyed PO we would have all this comotion. You would only hear such kind of news on Bloomberg.

Dammit youre right Fli. I cant hide this anymore fellas. I hate Arabs. As a supporter of America I try to do my part to defeat terrorism and Arabs running our ports. I routinely call the police on my local 711 manager, order Danishes from the Muslim bakery, and I always, always, lock my door at night so the suicide bombers dont get me.

So I guess my country (USA) is in an uproar because Dubai Ports is an Arab corporation. Oh well, what do you want? A cookie? The US should be upset but not because of the ethnicity of the company. Just the fact that its a foreign country should piss you off. Especially when high end business contracts go to big American countries that outsource them to third world countries whose people dont benefit because they make 3 cents a day. The US is a post industrial country in which the only jobs available to the common man are low paying service occupations and even those are being shipped out. People have suffered and while no one will agree I believe the recession is a result of this. The American people should be pissed at their leaders. The preamble to the Constitution states that the government must "promote the general welfare". Way to go Mr President. Way to go.


PS. Sorry for the rant. Eminem - Sing For The Moment came up on the playlist.

fucks sake, do you have take everything so litarelly? as it was said it rami's article, 80 per cent of american ports are operated by foreign companies. that doesnt seem to bother you. and if i understood correctly, the ports in question were operated by a foreign companies already. and above all if dubai ports was called helsinki or tokyo ports, you wouldnt be bothered and none of these investigations would be started. enron, if fact im not even arguing with you, my problem is with andy's orginal post. there are no proofs that they can be associated with terrorists and the only thing that might suggest that is that its an arabic company.

Fliakis, politic talk does not suit you, let us talk about booze.

So what exactly are you? The guy dropping in to comment on a sad piece of shit? That's even more sad. You're a Milan fan on a Juventus forum, I guess you couldn't find any friends over at the Milan fora. So enlighten me and tell me what you have done here that is so brilliant.

Must I go through this with all new rats that enter this dump...more importantly, why do new posters think they have discovered slice bread when using the "Milan fan in a Juve forum" comment....creativity is a thing of the past I guess.

Listen up 'rat', the fact that you decided to adopt the nickname of a sad sack of shit makes you either HIM or one of his imaginary brothers...if not well then you are striving for attention .. attention you cannot attract based on your own wits and character so you decide to use the nickname of a the most pathetic poster....nice one. You have certainly raised the bar for yourself Ratso.

aw Fli come on give me more than that. I see my sarcasm works about as well as the original Seven's did. Im against foriegn companies in general. I dont care if their Arab or not. And yes youre right, the uproar is over the fact that the company is Arab. Perhaps its overreacting on the part of many, but my point is that not everyone in the US is against foreign industry for that reason.

 

[flieeeekke]

maybe american companies should stop investing abroad too?

but youre making sense, -rep for you

Yeah Rami, I gave Osama and the Mujahidin a 5 spot.* So Im guessing past sins caused us to deserve 911? My friends deserved to loose fathers? Thats like saying I owe African-Americans money because Im white. (Im of Irish and Lithuanian descent so I didnt own slaves) Perhaps the Islamic right would have enjoyed the last 30 years under Soviet rule.

I highly doubt that if ...lets say...a French company buyed PO we would have all this comotion. You would only hear such kind of news on Bloomberg.

Correct. But France did take the lives of 3000+ people. Im not saying Dubai did either. A bunch of Islamic fellows from Arab nations did. Looks like the saying is true. "It only takes a few bad apple to spoil the bunch".

Okay fine. I just simply detest everything that comes from the Middle East. Happy now? :rolleyes2

I totally agree. I am very much against outsourcing. And most of the time the recipients of the outsourcing dont recieve the benefits, except India and couple of other places.

You can't give a monkey a gun and claim you're not responsible for whatever damage he might cause. Training Al Qaeda wasn't exactly a smart move. It doesn't mean you deserve 9/11, but it was one of the things that made 9/11 possible.

you are?? that explains your alcohol addiction. however i cannot come up with something for burke..

The US probably didnt make a wise choice. But then again there wasnt much in the way of wiggle room in those times. An direct mono-y-mono war between the US and the Soviets would not have ended well for either side or the rest of the world. Talk about Big Bada Boom. As they say "Desperate times call for desperate measures". And what do you know? The Reds are moving in on the Middle East, a hardy land of vigorous, tough, devout and sometimes fanatical people needing only to be supplied weapons and minimal training. I dont know what I would have done. It is indeed a tough call, so lets just blame 911 on Stalin and end this USA v. World pissing contest. After all this is Nick v. World.int:

As an aside, the Irish did own slaves in the US Enron. In fact, it's been suggested that a racist streak helped he Irish immigrants be accepted as part of white (WASP) culture - at that time, you had English newspapers running cartoons depicting the Irish as inhuman, drunks and morons, eg.

I am not really saying that E! All I was saying, with regards to andy's post of how the UAE did nothing about the money transfers, that nobody did anything about it, The Emaraties did nothing about it, the Saudis did nothing about it, and hell even the Americans did nothing about it. In fact America trained and funded them (backed up with our governments). So why does the UAE or the Saudis get the blame, while America doesnt? All of them were at fault! And please don't go 3000 people died, we are a target and all that shit. America is not the only country plauged with terrorism. Egypt and Algeria tasted the brunt of it in the 90's. Saudi Arabia had multiple terrorist operations in the past years, and even more foiled. In fact there was an attack on a major Oil interest in Abqaiq two days ago, luckily it was foiled. My brother is working for that company in that same city (town) btw.

Osama's citezenship has been revoked since 1996(?), Saudi Arabia has been cracking down on those cells for 4 years, they are doing everything to stop them. Yet when a company from a region wants to bring its business to american shores, all hell breaks loose, while America is more than happy to take the regions oil, and park their battleships at the shores of the middle east

Correct. But France did take the lives of 3000+ people. Im not saying Dubai did either. A bunch of Islamic fellows from Arab nations did. Looks like the saying is true. "It only takes a few bad apple to spoil the bunch".

So I wonder why you guys get all worked up when we assume that the neo-cons in the white house has spoiled your bunch

 

[Rami]

All of that is highly irrelevant.

I was just answering to your logic of the complacency of the UAE in the past

Okay fine. I just simply detest everything that comes from the Middle East. Happy now? :rolleyes2

Not Cool Andy, I dont know why you always take this personally. I have always tried to avoid using the word "you" in such conversations, if you look back you will see "America", "USA", and "Government".

On a side note I just watched 'Jarhead'. It's a satirical movie about the war in Iraq. Yes, Andy, that's indeed my cup of tea. But anyway, there's one hilarious scene in the movie. Our 'heroes' are sitting in a truck and one of them is going on about how heroical this war is. Then another one gives the so called true reasons behind the war: "Who do you think gave the Iraqis those weapons? We did." Of course after that the rest of them answers: "Fvck politics, we're here to fight.".

It seems to me as though, with the little I know, the US have done things like this several times. What the hell is up with supporting violent and hardly predictable military leaders who turn against them later on?
