Port deal was "the straw that broke the camel's back"

There is a lot of huffing and puffing by the globalization intellectuals that the Dubai port management deal didn't affect the security of our nation that much ... because of all the things we should worry about, this was the LAST thing we should worry about ... security wise.

Trouble is, being the last item in a long list has a way of drawing attention to the list ... and that's why saying it was "the straw that broke the camel's back" fits for us normal folk.

Sometimes I shake my head at some of these folks who call themselves our leaders. They just don't seem to get it sometimes. They keep acting like the rest of us are fools, to the point that they are fools. They get so twisted around in trying to convince us that their mistakes make sense without having to admit they made a mistake ... that they finally lose all credibility ... and are tied up in their own knot.

I mean, the ONLY people who still haven't admitted their mistakes in this whole Iraq War (Against Terrorism)/National Security fiasco are the ones who made the mistakes ... and they are still in power ...

Oh yes, they offer caveats on how things get screwed up ... but they never examine the reality of their own incompetence. And that is not a mystery even though it is scarey. If they are incompetent to begin with ... and do not recognize it, how can we expect them to be competent enough to recognize it afterward?

Like I said, now that is scarey.
