News: Bush Shrugs Off Objections to Port Deal

[Trinity]

I thought it was only the "radical extremist muslims" that we had to worry about?

The UAE has helped us on our war on terror.

Are we going to punish ALL nations that are muslim in majority?

I don't see the President did anything wrong.

He knows more about the situation than any of us do.

It is very possible that this will help us even more to weed out the terrorists.

Why do we have any country besides our own running our Countries Ports? kinda dumb to me... I wouldn't want any country running our ports

I am going to throw a little curve ball here, so bear with me, or not... your choice.

On the morning of February 2nd I was praying about GWB because of some things I had read about him on another website. I don't believe we should just assume that a person is either completely innocent or completely guilty. We are not supposed to have that kind of trust in "princes" the Bible tells us, otherwise that opens us up to be potentially deceived. But, I don't know enough about world affairs or what actually goes on behind closed doors in our government to know if someone is good or bad. Nonetheless, I know one who does know.

So I inquired of the Lord. And, he gave me a passage of scripture, which I believe was his answer to my inquiry. Now this passage of scripture is not to normally be interpreted to say anything about GWB, but God does speak through stories in the Bible about other people and applies the messages to our own circumstances sometimes - a word that we know is meant for us. I am going to share it with you, and it is up to you if you want to believe that God spoke to me through this passage about GWB and our government leaders. I feel he did. Then when this port thing came up, I thought again about this scripture. I believe even more now that this was God's word to me about our government leaders, not just about GWB. Here it is:

Jeremiah 34:8-22:

The word came to Jeremiah from the LORD after King Zedekiah had made a covenant with all the people in Jerusalem to proclaim freedom for the slaves. 9Everyone was to free his Hebrew slaves, both male and female; no one was to hold a fellow Jew in bondage. 10So all the officials and people who entered into this covenant agreed that they would free their male and female slaves and no longer hold them in bondage. They agreed, and set them free. 11But afterward they changed their minds and took back the slaves they had freed and enslaved them again.

12Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah: 13

That reminds me -

Remember the King of Judah who reigned during the time of Ahab? He was a godly king, but he made a stupid alliance with Ahab and fought with him in battle. Thought the Lord saved him during the battle, the Lord later sent a prophet to him to rebuke him for that alliance, a rebuke that included is punishment for such a mistake.

Well, I'll have to dig up the hard copy off of Lou Dobbs/CNN but I JUST FOUND OUT that the Bush family (Bush Sr, and another more obscure Bush son named Joel Bush have BIG BUCKS invested in UAE.

This is really complicated. I KNEW something was wrong when the red flags were waving.

We see that sure enough, the Bush family is in bed with UAE monetarily. There's 8 billion dollars in Bush money involved, from what I gathered, so they DON'T want to "upset" the UAE government here.

Man, this just STINKS! It's money, folks...we're being sold out for money. It's all about money...

[Catsmeow]

Are we going to punish ALL nations that are muslim in majority?

Punish? Are you kidding?

Look, tomarrow....I'll get the transcripts from Lou Dobbs/CNN and give you the HARD COPY that shows this whole thing is about Bush family money and the UAE....and proof that the Security Department has warned that UAE is extremely dangerous for Americans (and other western countries) to travel due to Islamic tensions there.

Tell me...do you really think this is best option?

Would you hire a child pedophile to babysit your children for fear of "punishing them"? Geez...

REALLY SURPRISING huh???

King Josiah was godly,but he also made a decision to go to war when God told him not to.And he was killed.

cats,

Would I hire a pedophile? NO!

Would I hire someone who lived next door to a pedophile? Yes!

Are you saying that all people in the UAE are terrorists?

That sounds very racist to me.

Well, Giaour, did you KNOW that the UAE blatantly refuses to accept Israel as a nation, refuses to acknowledge Israel's right to exist and sides with Iran on this issue?

Sounds very racists to me.

You wanna place the racist card?

[Giaour]

So because they are racist, we can act that way too?
