I agree it isn't a great idea for the UAE to run some area's. However The coast gaurd must still inspect each and every ship that comes into port before anything can be unloaded from a ship. So I'm not convinced that this will lesson national security at all. And also the UAE has been one of our allies in the war on terror.

The chance that Al Qaeda can infiltrate these port businesses is, in my opinion, too great to allow this transaction to go through.Opinionnationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15767001066474841149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814418.post-1140645996538014722006-02-22T16:06:00.000-06:002006-02-22T16:06:00.000-06:00Grapefruits, baby.

Although I was weary at first, too, I knew by the way that Bush was pushing the port deal that there had to be something major in it for us as a nation. Good job, though.

I would love to see the President veto the bill though. Wow, the Republicans are eating their own on this one.<BR/><BR/>I think it is a terrible idea to have a country run our ports. Haven't seen any evidence as to why it is a good idea. Other than Bush saying, "We wouldn't do it if it wasn't a good deal."
