Port of terror: Obama exposing U.S. to new threat?

Those of us in the media aren’t necessarily well known for having the longest attention span. By our very nature, we may be captivated by a story one week and then suddenly find ourselves unable to recall its most basic details when a new, juicy headline comes along.

This may be how the game is played in Washington, but it’s frustrating, especially when you remember a moment of panic that everybody else seems to move on from.

In 2006, that concern was over port security and was centered on President George W. Bush approving a deal with Dubai Ports World to operate shipping operations in six major American cities.

The media and the political establishment went ballistic over the revelation. Nine years later, however, a similar announcement is being met with relative silence.

What's next? Leasing the Pentagon lawn to Al Qaeda landscapers?

This issue was posted on FreeRepublic on Thursday by Shove_It and there was very little response. It is shocking that the most important subjects posted seem to be those dealing with Bruce/Kaitlyn Jenner and other Social issues while NATIONAL SECURITY issues are passed over or left to die on the vine. BUMMER!

I’ll repeat the National Security at stake that was posted under the following heading: CENTRAL FLORIDA Public protest against Port Canaveral Authority and Gulftainer Fri 12 Jun 2015

I DO consider it a NATIONAL SECURITY CRISIS! Consider our National Security INFRASTRUCTURE at Port Canaveral:
~NASA Kennedy Space Center and Visitor Complex
~Patrick Air Force Base
~Cape Canaveral Air Force Station
~U.S. Navy TRIDENT Submarine Base(Trident Turning Basin)
~Top Secret Air Force Space Plane
~National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) spy satellites
~Space X resupply missions to the International Space Station
~Space X Falcon 9 Rocket
~NASA ORION deep space capsule project and test launches
~United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy Rocket
~United Launch Alliance Atlas V Rocket
~Nuclear Submarines Resupply operations
~Lockheed Martin Fleet Ballistic Missile Eastern Ranger Operations
~Air Force Technical Applications Center (AFTAC) Seismic, hydrocoustic, and satellite monitoring of nuclear treaty signatory nations
~Air Force Space Command/45th Space Wing
~Air Force 920th Rescue Wing (Combat Search and Rescue)
~Craig Technologies Aerospace and Defense Manufacturing Center
~Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS)
~U.S. Coast Guard Station Port Canaveral
~Department of Homeland Security - Customs andBorder protection
~Numerous Defense Contractors (Too numerous to list including Boeing)

This is obviously a National Security Issue and everyone should be concerned IMHO.

Unfortunately it is going to take a major attack on United States soil to get our collective attention.

Just wait till China and Russia team up and try it.

We continually commit the same crime of inattention and will never learn, I guess. World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam and all the succeeding conflicts have taught us nothing. “One if by land, Two if by sea”........

IMHO, the next Jihadist attack on the United States will be a nuclear strike, and the nuclear device will arrive in one of our major ports in a container ship where it will be detonated on the ship as soon as it arrives in port.

[Mollypitcher1]

Not at all beyond the feasible modes of attack. But our so called leaders will sell off, give away, or rent our National Security out to our enemies and NOTHING will be done about it because AMERICA IS NoT listening.
