The Bush Administration . . .

[CaptnKirk]

While we're at it, let's sell 6 of the major US Seaports to Foriegn Control . .

Step ight up Ladies and Gentlemen, the US is having a Fire Sale - anyone with connections to al Queda, Arab Money,
and fiscal policies that are counter to the best interests to the American Society can buy us out with Georges blessings.

Houston, we have a problem . . .


Do you trust the UAE to run the seaports in New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, New Orleans, Miami and Philadelphia. ?

Critics have cited the UAE's history as an operational and financial base for the hijackers who
carried out the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. In addition, they contend the UAE was an important transfer
point for shipments of smuggled nuclear components sent to Iran, North Korea and Libya by a Pakistani scientist.

Quite a record of being 'Pro-US' isn't it ?

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff defended the U.S. security review of DP World in various television interviews Sunday.
"We make sure there are assurances in place, in general, sufficient to satisfy us that the deal is appropriate from a national security standpoint,"
Chertoff told ABC's "This Week."

Dealing with Chertoff and his 'Department of Homeland Security' is like making a deal with the devil.

A little present from one oilman to another?

I think it's a stupid idea, but Bush isn't exactly the sharpest leader in the world.

It would seem to me ie would be making it way easier to smuggle things in and out of the country if you control the ports on both ends.

The perception (and carefully cultivated I might add) that Bush is dumb or unaware of what is going on is totally false. He is, in fact, incredibly smart and knows exactly what he is doing --which is what makes him very dangerous.

Bush isn't as dumb as he's made out to be, but the bolded portion is pushing it

Well, Dubai and the UAE have even bigger plans:

Dubai sets up 15-billion-dollar aerospace facility

. . . but wait, there's, more - it also, slices, dices, and makes julian fries . . .

OK - so if they make the deal to take over the Shipping Ports, build the Aircraft Maintainence Complex,
and the Space operations . . .

it will come true: "All your Base belong to us"

I heard about this.

Bottom line: Our government is currently run by idiots.

And there's not too many republicans defending Bush on this (both on here and in the media). I wish i had Fox News right now, i wonder what their take on it is.

As much as I despise this administration and their horrible management of my country, the UAE are certainly not enemies of the US. I do think that there are probably many more well-suited US flagged countries that could do this job and ease the concerns of the citizens of the USA. Like it or not though, we are a global economy and the paycheck you cash may indeed be coming from a country other than the US. That the company that now owns this contract is indeed a UAE country certainly doesn't mean that port security is being handed over to Shia Muslims.

Something like this?

"It's obviously good for America, and if it results in another attack on America, it's "win-win" for the Republicans (justification for attacking another country, plus justification for attack the democrats--since they didn't stop it)"

How can Republicans especially the ones that claim to be smart people in here continue to defend this arrogant Anti-American Bush-wipe???

I'm not surprised by anymore moves by this administration.

How bout turning over the Whitehouse to the President of Iran? I wouldn't be surprised.

The poor Chinese have no place to stay now that Clinton can't rent out the Lincoln bedroom. Pity them.

 

[raildogg]

So we really want Arabs to control the ports? What about the promised security?

Giving muslim Arabs control over the ports is like giving Vicente Fox control over the INS, to borrow someone elses example.

But yes, rest easy at night knowing that Bush is spying on you. You are safe from terrorism, rest easy.

My only question is:

Is there ABSOLUTELY no one else for the job???

I am sure there are plenty of Americans that are jobless that would love to get a pay check doing this. Why not??????????
