Worse, our side is playing right into the left's hands.. from the onset, they have mischaracterized this entire fiasco and painted a false image in people's minds that

• 1. The ports themselves are being sold (in reality, only container storage facilities.)
• 2. UAE will be in charge of security.
• 3. We will be powerless over our security.
  
  All of these perceptions are false, but the left has found a wedge issue and they are playing it up in a manner that Sun Tzu would be proud of. Having Jimmy Carter agree with President Bush was icing on the cake for the left. They knew if they did that, the rift would be as wide a the Pacific Ocean.
  
  This deal isn't just about 'trusting President Bush' but think about all the people that would be involved that have put their stamp on this including Dr. Rice, Cheney, and countless others.. Do we suddenly not trust all of them because the MSM tells us what to think about this?

yep, the MSM has framed the debate again. "domestic spying" or
"hide the judge" when they talk about the Patriot act. This time its "Hide the Homeland Security, US Customs and Coast Guard"
