The foxes are in charge of the henhouse.

What else is new, right? I can't believe President Bush is allowing this deal to go thru where the United Arab Emirates company is buying control of 6 major US ports. Obviously, we uninformed people don't know something very important that would trump national security.

I have supported (sometimes vehemently) the war on terror as I feel it is vital to win. However, we seem to have a problem discerning where our weaknesses are at. Millions of illegal aliens waltz across our border from Mexico and we turn out back to it. Now a foreign company under control of a foreign power is going to excersize control over our imports in 6 major connectors. That is ripe for the picking by anti-US idealists.

If history has taught us one thing, Arab nations are susceptable to money. All you have to do is show them the money and they'll do what you want. If that isn't the case, why am I still paying over 2$ a gallon for gas?

If you really believe that Russia is an ally of the US, then read some recent news stories about this "wonderful" nation. All they have to do is flip a little green to the Arabs and next thing you know, the Russkies are controlling the port. Or maybe some overzealous EU nut does the same thing and then they're in charge. This isn't right.
