U.S. Port Security Run by UAE?
what a great idea.
ok, lets take the most likely setting for a terrorist attack by nuclear or biological means, our U.S. ports, and then we'll take the one country with suspected ties to al qaeda and suspected of helping to fund 9/11...and have them run the ports! 😱
please, help me understand the logic here, because my brain hurts
Considering the massive uproar people have made over this, I can't understand why he's being so obtuse about it. But, Bush says he'll veto any opposition to the plan. And, since he's not vetoed a single bill/proposal/etc since he took office, I have to wonder why no one, not even his supporters, aren't beginning to see that this man and his administration are concerned with only two things: power and money.
He doesn't give a shit about the safety of the American people. When this whole thing started, it was "Well, we can't discriminate against a country just because it is an Arab country!" -The hell we can't. Now it's "Well, just trust us. We would never just give a company that was controlled by an Arab country free reign over our ports! Trust your government!" -We did, and 3000 plus people died on Sept 11th.
I'm beginning to think that Cheney shot that guy in the face on purpose, just to cover up the week of important news that surrounded it.

Ahh the irony....lets control the ports in the middle east with our navy but just to make it fair you guys can control our ports but since you have no navy to speak of here how about a pass for good measure🙂 I mean I am certain there is no "bad blood" in the middle east twards us at all,

There is no logic. I know that doesn't help. Just thought I'd fill ya in on that point though.
Bush is truly amazing. The shit he can pull off and not be impeached or shot is truly impressive.
It's like a guy standing in front of you telling you he's gonna kick you in the nuts, then he kicks you and you thank him for his time and wait for him to kick you in the nuts again.
I just don't get it.

imagine if it was him instead of roosevelt in ww2. he would have had the japanese patrolling pearl harbor.
And of course, now, the story is that Bush didn't even know about it until it hit the news! How can this man look at himself in the mirror? What kind of scrupples can a man have to actually embarrass himself and say that, as the leader of our nation, he had no idea that his administration was about to turn port security over to a country that recgonizes AlQueda as a legitimate political entity?
I guess looking ignorant if preferable to looking corrupt.

apparently the UK runs some of the US ports...the same allegations of ties to al qaeda (not politically of course) and the funding of al qaeda in the form of al qaeda members recieving state benefits...
go...bomb us...you know you want to 😛

it seems that a bunch of people are getting their undies in a twist because an arab company is running a US port
strange though that many of these people are absolutely against branding all arabs/muslims as potential terrorists...yet this is exactly what seems to be going on in this thread...albeit it in "coded speak"
