PORTS DEAL

Can you believe this? That Bush brokered a deal for the United Arab Emirates to buy ownership of 6 of our ports? It's nothing new that our ports have been owned by other countries, England was the owners before the UAE bought out the British company. But, it must be remembered that 3 of the 9/11 terrorist came from the UAE, and the UAE is where all the terrorist pass through at some point or another.

Now my friend, Dennis says that it won't compromise our National Security for the UAE to own our ports no more than when the British owned them, but when was the last time a terrorist came from England to bomb some other country??? Also, and this is a concern of some U.S. Senators, the Arabs have some long holidays, where they could as owners, shut down the operations of those ports, causing a supply issue for most if not all of our economy. We know that's why the Twin Towers were a target, they were the center of our economics, the stock market and alot of banks were centered there. They could do harm to our country and not fire a single shot.

I think both the President and Congress have lost their minds. To me, at least, this is not business as usual.
