Santorum: At first couldn't believe this story, first saw it in Gaffney's report.
People from UAE implicated in 911, head of Phila. port called Santorum, concerned.
Said to President you have to call this off.
We can't have a WOT and then have this.
UAE is "inconsistent" in their support of the US on terror issue.
Says this will be over in 2 weeks, firestorm out there, maybe sooner than 2 weeks. Lots of phone calls etc from constituents.
We have to fight WOT on all fronts. Foreign investment in US from this is wrong.
Savage: UAE officially recognizes taliban as govt of Afghanistan. National security trumps everything else.
Santorum: First responsibility of fed govt is security of the country. I appreciate your contribution to this firestorm, I think the administration will soon take a second look at this. Congress has to have an oversight on this. Admin. knows this. When you do something like this you undermine yourself.
Savage: Are there no American companies that can do this?
Santorum: Better question, should we have a policy in US whether we should not allow any foreign entity, I don't know if that is the right answer, but countries that have aligned with terrorists should not be managing our ports.
Santorum to Savage: This is making a difference, keep it up.
Santorum is on Savage now too?
the momentum is building, this deal is gone by early next week.
Rick Santorum? Another democrat using this as a political issue!!! /sarcasm
