Our government is thinking that the people loading those containers and the people reading the shipping manifests have to have security clearances and therefore cannot be anything other than US citizens."

Ya, you're right. Noone with a security clearance ever did anything wrong.No bad guys ever got a security clearance.
Lets all stick our heads back in the ground.

On most issues you could probably call me a "Bushbot", I tend to give the president the benefit of the doubt on most things, even when he irritates me, as he occasionally does.

And I recognize that UAE is one of our allies, and they have built an impressive country out of the desert there.

But, I'm sorry, its crazy to put them in charge of port operations. I didn't like it when China was offered Long Beach Naval Shipyard, and I don't like this. I'm all for doing business where ever we can, and inviting investment from any and all. But some operations have security implications that go beyond the norm, and should be restricted to US control.

If the Administration didn't see this avalanche of protests coming, they are definitely out of touch with real America.

That's the key right there.

They are either arrogant (and don't give a damn what we think), or idiotic - either of which doesn't bode well.

too bad the (private) Carlyle Group is so secretive about its operations and "investments". I haven't seen Mansour Ijaz on the tube addressing this Dubai matter......I wonder why?

Oh- but those bad guys are only employed by foreign corporations? We have plenty of our own citizens working for our own government committing treasonous act. Nice red herring, but we need less xenophobic hysteria, not more.

It really scares me when I find myself agreeing with Charles Schumer.

I keep trying not to remember all the media descriptions of Bush in a bubble. I feel like there is more to this - and they just won't tell us. Kind of like the WMD lol.

Thanks for proving my point.

I still bet that it won't be until the weekend until the Bush adminstration realizes its folly.

The US government has no authority to sell any part of the ports without the People approving it first.

The ports were entrusted to the government by the Constitution, not given to them to do with as they wish.

They sure like our "stuff."

I thought so as well LOL

Hey, I have an idea. Why not let a Muslim company run some of our largest ports? What could possibly be wrong with that? We've had no trouble letting the Chinese do it...

This kind of "free trade" is suicide.
