The White House is obviously not listening to the congressional uproar over Dubai Ports World. Lawmakers want to know why a federal panel allowed a state-owned United Arab Emirates shipping firm to pay $6.8 billion to acquire six major American ports -- including critical ones in New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia -- despite its home country's glaring ties to international terrorism. But the White House is yawning.

And I agree with Schumer and the NYT also, that's a rarity. (I already agree with Coburn a lot, so that's normal)
This lunacy needs to be stopped in its tracks. I can't think of a better way for Al Queda to get into this country than by infiltrating this port business! And the UAE recognizes the Taliban to this very day! Someone at the White House must be smoking dope to have thought this was a good idea. Call, write, and email your senators to stop this stupid, dangerous deal.
Daniel 7:19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth [were of] iron, and his nails [of] brass; [which] devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet;
Dan 7:20 And of the ten horns that [were] in his head, and [of] the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even [of] that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look [was] more stout than his fellows.
Dan 7:21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
Dan 7:22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
Dan 7:23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
Dan 7:24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom [are] ten kings [that] shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
Dan 7:25 And he shall speak [great] words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
I know. You'd think the King of Jordan had been appointed Ruler of the World or some such thing. I guess simply because he doesn't foam at the mouth the way many other Muslim rulers do, Solana and the rest consider him to be worthy of a shower of rose petals.
well ,... Mayor Mike Bloomberg just did a quick dance
, when asked right now on John Gambling's show
... I don't think this will go away
The notion that the UAE firm is paying $6.8 billion to acquire six major U.S. ports probably comes as a huge surprise to those agencies that currently own and operate these ports and have no intention of selling them.
This is the kind of idiotic ranting that I would expect to find in a Paul Krugman column or a Howard Dean speech.
All the various National security agencies have given this company a clean bill of health. This company MERELY does port operations, it has ZERO security functions. Security is a Federal Govt responsibility. The ONLY people freaking are the Democrat Senators. This works for them on two levels.
ONE it allows the Dems to fraudulently posture as "tough on National Security". Two, it allows the Senate Democrats to lay the ground work for a "Have the Feds take over the ports" like they did the baggage screener at the airport and add thousands to the Govt Union rolls.
Just DUMB for Conservatives to push Chucky Schumers phony PR line for him.

Well done. If ever there was a message that needed to be posted three times, this is it. LOL.
Jorge (Free Traitor) Arbusto once again sells out America.
No it does not. It has ZERO application to National Security. It is a stupid made up fraud of a PR attack lie pushed by Chuckie Schumer. The Company has ZERO inpact on Port Security. Amazing how DUMB Conservatives are when it comes to falling for the Junk Journalists DNC propaganda lies.

Any company that has control of port operations would have to be intimate with all security measures, even if performed by someone else. To let a foreign company, from a country that supports the very terrorists we are at war with, to have knowledge of security operations at major U.S. ports, is lunacy! Muslim countries, and the companies these countries control, are not our allies. There loyalty is to their religion that is at odds with U.S. security.
Are the leaders of our country really that dense?
