BTW, I wonder if hillary will try to shake DPWorld down. What am i thinking of course she will, that's her way, IMO.
No, but neither are 100% of the employees American.
However when it comes to matters of national security the question on whether it is prudent to even risk this has to be asked. Especially when you consider that ports are a huge Achilles heel for the US.
The company may be ok, but ya can't trust the Arabs working in it. 99.9% muslim = at least 10% sympathetic to terror groups.
Another great idea from the unelected chasims of Washington DC!!
They must think Americans are really stooopid!!!
Open the ports to Al Queda and the borders to whoever.
Totally senseless! Idiotic! Blundering crazy! And exactly what do the Bozo"s plan on doing with all that money???
We need to make Omaha our new Capital and tell Washington DC to go get F^@#%$#&%$*^d.
Washington DC no longer represents true American values and tradition.
"the many U.S. citizens who work for DP World." Please see: (1) various associated articles on dhimmitude, and (2) various definitions of the initials DP.
The anal exam of this company will be soooooooo disturbing and painful that the "deal" will never happen.
TT
Even if it's 100% innocent now, it's just has potential for some really bad things in the future. Bush better back away from this...now.
No to the UAE running American ports. NO NO NO.
This is an excellent link, containint by year UAE Milestones & Illegal transactions. Here area a few of them:
October 2003: Five containers of centrifuge components, sent by B.S.A. Tahir and shipped through Dubai, are seized en route to Libya. The items are part of four shipments made by Malaysia's Scomi Precision Engineering (SCOPE) between 2002 and 2003 to Dubai's Aryash Trading Company. One of the four consignments lists the addressee as Gulf Technical Industries, but is diverted to Desert Electrical Equipment Factory, also based in Dubai.

Like the commie-fascist Chinese, successful attacks require good intelligence vectors if not tactical control over battle space. Bin-terror is coming back, but Islam's destruction of our econnomy is Qaeda's stated goal for OBL's declared Hundred Years War.
This is a critical election year for us, perhaps for belicose Islam, more critical than distant 2008. After 500 years of shameful slumber, the World Conquest by Islam shall continue until they vanquish us or are destroyed by us.
FREEPERS and lurkers, READ their "holy scriptures", aka their battle plans and rules of engagemeent.
We are The Minutement and defenders of our Ratified Constitutional Republic, against all enemies both foreign and domestic. Europeans willingly disarmed; most Americans never shall.
The criminal and terrorist invasion continues with our borders and posts nearly wide open. War is coming because too many Americans have yet to understand the acts of war against us.
I just read on Drudge that Jimmy Carter is supporting Bush on this. That alone PROVES this is a horrible idea. Bush has lost my support completely.
I hear that Dubai is threatening to deport Michael Jackson back to the U.S. if the deal falls through.
