Neal hits this one right on the head. The sale is not between companies it from a company to a government, an islamic government at that. Bush has lost his damn mind in pandering to the ROP in this one.

China runs ports in California and they have nukes, maybe you should have those ports shut down?

My gasoline contains Middle Eastern oil, should my car be concerned?

The GOP lapdogs will have every possible explanation for why it's patriotic to see the country off.

I've tried ... tried hard ... but it's no use. I just can't understand why George Bush is so invested in this idea

Me either. It is another one of these moments for GW Bush.

One country had people train the hijackers how to fly and they even lived in that country and based their operations out of that country.. yet we trust ourselves with our own security.

I'm afraid everyone is reacting to media reports on this without knowing all the facts... How many of us have seen the DHS reports on this? How many people have seen the background checks?

Somehow all of this seems to be quasi racism- if some sand monkey from Dubai helped terrorists, then every sand monkey in Dubai is a terrorist.

I'm not saying I agree with the sale, but I am frustrated with all the knee jerk reaction without any facts.

I just can't understand...

Time to give those NWO "rumors" a second thought. We'll have to replace ALL of our "Representatives" soon or lose our sovereignty.

The administration has it's own PR offensive going on as well. I don't see any reason to believe them over anyone else.

My guess is that the authorities in Dubai have been, um, helpful in our pursuit of terrorists. One thing you can say about George Bush is that he believes in rewarding our friends and punishing our enemies.

We need to look a little more closely at who is really behind this deal. We know Michael Jackson surfaced in Dubai not that long ago. Connect the dots, folks.

I just can't understand why George Bush is so invested in this idea of turning the operations at six essential U.S. ports, New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, New Orleans, Miami and Philadelphia, over to a foreign government ... and an Islamic foreign government at that.

It's called quid-pro-quo

Bush has promised this to his Arab buddies in the UAE in exchange for their support in the war on terror. Just like he promised Egypt and Jordan a Palestinian state in the middle of Israel. There's no telling what else he's promised these shady sheiks but you can bet that eventually it will come back to bite us in the butt.

Nice platitude- not based in reality. I'm the one questioning 'conventional wisdom' in this situation..

The worst thing about this whole fiasco is that President George W. Bush has just thrown FIVE years of his tough on terror reputation down the toilet.

And in doing so, GWB probably handed the mantle of "tough on terror" to the wimpy AlJazeera-luvin Democrats.

All I can think is that GWB must be losing brain cells from all the pressure of the Presidency.

I haven't been this depressed since he nominated Harriet Miers to the US Supreme Court.

That needs to be changed.

When national security is at stake we need to Nationalize!

The free market place must be allowed to prosper, but not at the expense of our national security.

One really bad decision doesn't require another one.
China should not have any dealings with our ports either.

The globalists will get us killed.
