Pretty stupid, coming from a former FBI guy Those unnamed Middle Eastern folks to whom Rogers has referred in such a broad fashion have been alternately referred to as partners; Republicans have been very happy to support the sale of key resources to them, like American ports now owned by Dubai, or investments in banks like Citigroup.

It's as if Rogers also forgot US-SA Joint Economic Commission (JECOR), too, and how much U.S. companies like Halliburton profited from decades of involvement in this relationship, and which agencies like the CIA supported.

You'd think a former FBI guy would realize he's not only making hate speech, but pretty ignorant speech, too.

In MI-08, I believe the number of Arab-American voters is close to zero Mike Rogers looooooves to tell voters about vague, scary threats... just enough emotion to scare 'em, just enough factoids to make it sound like he knows what he's talking about.

His "energy independence plan" is packed with goodies for the coal, oil, gas & nuclear industries; not much in the way of original thought, though. Just a lot of warmed-over versions of existing legislation.

Enemies The only person named was Hugo Chavez. Other than that are supposed to assume that the Arabic guys are enemies, just because? WOW. That's disgusting. Thanks, Eartha.
