Do YOU wanna give our friends from Middle East the keys to our security and it's procedures?

I wonder how Dubai, or ANY other country would feel about a US company taking ownership control of their ports.

I'm going to go out on a limb here, and I have not had the time to look into this, although i'm certain there is some truth to this: I wonder how Dubai, or ANY other country would feel about a US company with strong ties to the government taking ownership control of THEIR ports. Wealth in countries like Dubai are usually tied to royalty or strong connections with the ruling powers.

I don't think Dubai is an immediate threat, and they've shown support for the war on terror which is Bush's argument, but at the same time, that doesn't mean things don't change over time, and how would we really know. Maybe us Democrats aren't as liberal as we seem, we just exercise common sense.

A clip from CBS:

purchase of London-based Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Co., by Dubai Ports World, a state-owned business in the United Arab Emirates, or UAE.

2 of the 911 hijackers were from the UAE (United Arab Emirates) and Money to pull of the attack as well... Isn't there news station Al Jeerzera also in UAE, and Yes, I do believe they openly say "death to America" and now to the Danes as well along with any other freedom loving civilization.

Yes, Home Land Security is suppose to handle security, but we all seen how they handled the US Gulf Coast. But more importantly pointed out in this thread is the management would LEARN the security procedtures of How port security is done.

I also agree with Pornodoggy, NO foreign company should ever be able to the U.S. because of the enormous implications for national security.

The only Good thing I see from this is GW Bush is loosing more power as now even the Reps. disagree with him...

If they disagree with him on this like they disagreed with him over the Patriot Act, they will bark a lot, then roll over and play dead like the lapdogs they are.
