When first announced, Bush said he would have not have approved the Saudi company's takeover of ports if he had any inkling that our citizens would be put at risk. How naive!

9Do you mean the Saudis are taking over our ports too. I thought it was the UAE. Oh well this makes as much since as a lot of other postings on FR lately.

I am still waiting for a description from an opponent of this deal showing how security might be compromised by it. I have asked on several threads for nearly two weeks now, and have heard no such scenario described, only attacks on the UAE. I am no defender of the UAE on this, but if you can't show a risk of harm, why does it matter who contracts with the longshormen to loand and unload these ships?

This is a threshold question on this issue, but I have heard no answers from anyone who opposes the deal.
