Apparently Arab is the PC term for muslims when discussing issues that affect national security.
There's a big difference between "foreign investors" that are and have been strong allies of the US with a proven track record of exactly that and those that have a somewhat opposite track record in many significant ways and one that is laden with a type of people, namely muslim here, that sponsor just about all of the world's terrorism and a very good chunk of its fascist activities otherwise!
It's sad that many can't seem to see that and at least understand the need to perhaps look into this further. But no, W says, so the sheep jump!
We can start a new game: W Says. It works kind of like Simon says! LOL
Just watch, as a staunch conservative I'll be blasted for this single point!
Would we have invited a Russian "financial" company in to run our ports during the cold war?
Would we allow a Saudi company to do this? Hell, some of the same "positive" things said about the UAE and Dubai can be said about the Saudis and more probably. Yet I couldn't see that happening.
And haven't we learned the lessons of mosques being built under the guises of "religion" yet being breeding grounds for Wahhabi style terror organizations around the world?
Have we learned somewhere along the line to distinguish between a smiling muslim that's "getting along with us" purely out of sincereity with a smiling muslim that's "getting along with us" yet merely awaiting an opportunity to "slit our throats?"
Apparently we have. I just wish someone would let the secret out!
Lastly, if running these ports is so damned non-lucrative as has been put forth as an excuse, then whey the eagerness on the part of DPW to want to run these?
Of course in my case, W didn't say. So I guess I'm wrong!
Lol, I wonder how many "racist" and xenophobe" replies you'll get?
