The Senate Armed Services Cmte. conducts an open briefing into the management of six American ports by Dubai Ports World. Sen. John Warner (R-VA) called the briefing to review national security issues raised by the deal, which transfers control from a British firm to one owned by the United Arab Emirates.
LOL, he just read the memo on his Blackberry!!!
KATRINA! DRINK!
In 1996? Before the Gulf war. Non issue.
He sure did!
Probably not. We could use some new roads, but I'd prefer they not have explosive devices planted in the asphalt.
LOL
That streak job in her hair also makes her look like a granny!! YAY!
Just what has Mrs. Clinton done to improve homeland security?
Too bad she's not 'around the (other side of) the world'. I've had my fill of damn Clintons (or anyone associated with them), period!
So let me see if I have this right: there are no panelists, so this is just them getting on the record?
Great!
Did Senator KKK say the 1892 bill? I know he's been there a long time, but gracious!
Hillary: We've heard from numerous administration spokespeople that those of us raising concerns are out of place. For many of us, there is a significant difference between a private company running ports and a foreign entity running the ports.
If we are impacting national security, the full 45 days of investigation is mandatory if it affects natinoal security.
Yet, a decision was made not to conduct that 45 days of investigations.
Sec. Chertoff has claimed we have a disciplined process. On the face of it, they don't.
There are numerous problems with this review process that we need answers to but in the larger context, port security, particularly given the problems we've had with Homeland Security, apparently the WH is about to issue their report about Katrina, which based on the press reports will make you cry. It's 4.5 years after 9/11 and we've been saying that tehre are problems and it's troubling.
Oh, there ARE panelists!
Did Graham speak?
Why are there no pubbies there?
I haven't changed my mind at all. I've seen nothing but empty "trust us" promises in support of this.
LOL! These threads make listening to these folks possible!
Nothing, other than sell the ChiComs some ports and free some Puerto Rican terrorists!
LMAO
Blackberry, "You idiot, quit bobbing!"
Where is 'our' side?
