"Think about it - if an attack were to happen, the UAE would know we'd blame them first. They'd be on the top of our hitlist, like the Taliban was."

Now you think about it. They'd be "on the top of our hitlist" because they are Arab muslims who support the Taliban as rightful rulers of Afghanistan. This being the case, WTF are we doing even considering letting these people run our port security?

We are in a war against muslim terrorists and those who support terrorists, so we are hiring muslims who support terrorists for our port security? Has this whole country gone insane? There is no excuse, no apology for this madness. What is Bush thinking?

I'm not saying we *should* allow the transfer to go through. I'm just saying the guy is right that the probability of such an attack is very low.
