The Congress shut down the Dubya Dubai Deal quickly

1. What would make them do that on shutting down the Iraq War?
90-95% of the people screaming to shut it down during an election year

Dubai port deal was not a case of Congress all of a sudden taking action - it was a reaction to 95% of the American people screaming about it. WE THE PEOPLE did it - not congress

repugs were/are to busy scrambling to find a piece of bush*'s coattail to hang on to - and the dems are trying to find a way to "oppose" bush* without being accused of being "unpatriotic"

if anything is going to get done in the interest of "THE PEOPLE" - it means "WE THE PEOPLE" have to do it

for what it's worth -- TIME TO CLEAN HOUSE....and THE SENATE

4. Iraq must get MUCH worse before
we (the americkan tube taught) public will be as vocal as Dubai made us.

Dubai is the enemy only because of race, as our great leader has taught us for 5+ years.

6. PNAC knew that once things were set into motion (in the Mideast)...

...dissent from any source could be labeled as "unpatriotic."

Ironic, given that this administration acts outside our Constitution.
