That's just about brilliant! Maybe we could get some of those fine young fellows from Yemen to work as underwater inspection specialists!
Tony snow was defending the sale big time. he told a listener / caller she was wrong and being parinoid.
his contention was the multi levels of checks that "some" containers go through and that the odds of the big one making it to a major U.S city was slim. i got news to those who feel the same way
#1 may it be YOUR city not mine.
#2 guess what they do not even have to unload it, just set it of in the port and voila, blocked shipping lanes and glowing coast line for years, thus forcing shipping to go to already crowded other ports. and you can just bet the public might even want all containers inspect thus effectivly shutting down our economy more than 9 / 11 ever did.
MR. President. CANCEL THIS SALE
