They will do a good job. Its all about the money. If they spend money on it they probably dont feel like letting their investment go to hell.

Well........as much as I would freak out about possible terrorist-sympathizing nations controlling our major eastern ports, it doesn't seem to be that dangerous of a proposition.

Not sure if you know this, but the company that has been running our ports prior to this is a British company. I didn't read your link b/c I have read up on it so I'm not sure if it made mention of this ordeal behind the scenes. Basically, the British co. was bought out by the UAE co. and they're just taking over.

I can't believe someone wouldn't be totally and completely freaked about this.

It's like letting the fox guard the henhouse. It's just stupid.

I'm not usually against Bush for him doing stupid things, but this is just beyond stupid.

I heard something about it but I haven't researched it yet.

Do we know if the company that is doing the guarding has ties to known terrorists? I mean, just because they are from the Middle East doesn't mean that they instantly hate us, right? Isn't that the argument the Bush admin makes, that almost everyone over there loves us?

I also heard that several federal agencies had done background investigations on the company and had cleared it. I don't know which ones, as I've only heard if from Headline News and you know how in-depth their reporting is.

Yes and jews want your money. All Arabs are evil. All communists want to eat your baby. If we were at war with Canada right now talk radio would be telling you "there are no normal candians! Theres just the ones who kill us and the ones who wish they had the balls to kill us. Canadians want to take your land and they want your kids to say aye!" We dont blame Italy for what Greece does so why should we hold what Afghanistan did against the UAE?

He's saying that not all people from the Middle East are of one mind. Just because other countries in the region have a beef with us doesn't mean that the UAE does.

The fact is that UAE has a rather lackluster record of working against terrorists....

I wouldn't want them to guarding our ports. Even if 100% of their employees were good guys, you think that terrorists wouldn't instantly be clamouring to get a job there?

Give me a break.

Ok, I did do some research and found that they will actually be the lowest level of security in a three-tier system. Ultimate security still falls on the U.S. Coast Guard and federal agents of the US Customs and Border Protection.

Zap, this might seem weird to you, but I'm actually with Bush on this one. I see no problem with it. Of course, he's really adamant about the UAE company being allowed and, after some research, I found that it's cronyism at work (he's helping out some buddies). Other than for that reason, I have no problem with the sale.

Here is a link of a segment I heard this morning on NPR: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...toryId=5227732

I'd rather not listen to virulently biased propaganda from NPR. I'd rather see something that's only majorly left-wing, like CNN.

It may or may not be cronyism, but I seriously think this has gone too far. His own party and people that have toed his party line are all opposing him.

I'm not understanding this guy at all...

Well, when a leftist source (like NPR) actually runs a story that doesn't bash Bush, there might be something there.

Listen to it and don't be prejudice against NPR because most stories are left-leaning. You might learn something.

I listen/read many sources in one day: NPR, CNN, Fox News, BBC, Reuters, Google News, The New York Times, and the Washington Post. I'm yet to see a story suggesting that this is a bad idea.
