The UAE has bought our strategic ports and plan on operating them right under our noses in Pa,La,NY,NJ,MD.

What's going on here? Have we lost our sanity?

[FeeinTennessee]

I know I was disturbed when I heard about that too. Our sovereignty going down the drain.

[MJY1288]

The State Department is behind this, it seems UAE has recently purchased a German company called MAERSK recently and this is how it all got started

[MJY1288]

The other thing is that they are not buying the Ports, they are buying the rights to manage them. I'm not in favor of this deal at all, but there is more to this than just UAE buying our Ports, cause they're not.

Earlier tonight Fox News did a segment on this, and from what I could gather, the biggest threat would be exposing how our Ports operate and their vulnerabilities

[coconutt2000]

Yuck... I bet this is another scheme to bilk Palestinians out of money intended to pay for the provision of their public services.

[Flavius]

yes

The UAE will be running our ports AND be in bed with Hamas?

I to think I have defended this President when others called him stupid.

[servantboy777]

I tell ya, Bush waited till his second term to turn into a liberal puke. He's like his daddy, they are both globalist. Our lawmakers are selling us down the river.

[Calpernia]

And how will this joint venture affect Palestinian access to our ports?

[philetus]

Too many people in power believe that money trumps everything else.
They want world government and the only way to get it is to destroy American sovereignty.
They think islam will help them get it.

Islam also wants world government, but on vastly different terms.IMHO

[nw_arizona_granny]

And if war breaks out with Iran, will all the ports be closed, so that we cannot get the supplies we need to exist and fight a war?

All it would take would be a big strike of the workers.

[Nam Vet]

If the PA and Palis can start large business ventures etc, etc, why the hell are we giving them aid?

Nam Vet

[gotribe]

Well of course they did. Not just the ports, but 2% of Time Warner. We're whoring ourselves to these muslim princes.

Gee the Security Agencies run thru the background and look at the company operations top to bottom. The Democrat Senate Election Committee sees a complete NONE issue they can use to mug for the cameras and pretend to be "tough on security issues". And the usual supposed "Conservatives" fall all over themselves to push the Democrats Propaganda lies. Did ANY of you even stop for a heartbeat to think that the people who are LYING to you are the Democrats and their pet whores in the Junk Journalism world?

The Dubai company has NO security functions ok? Port security REMAINS in US GOVERMENT hands. This PR hissy fit is just the first step in Chucky Schumer and his insane Senate clown posse pushing to have all port operations Federalized like the did with the Airlines Screeners after 9-11. Gee look at the "Conservatives" here on Freeper pushing to add ten of thousands of new employees to the Govt Union rolls for the Democrats to squeeze for Campaign Contributions. What a perfect game for the Dems win the PR game AND get the sucker "Conservatives" to do all the heavy lifting to grow the Fed Govt! When are Conservatives going to QUIT letting the Junk Journalists and the Democrats play them for naive fools?

[MNJohnnie]

Ok, one side or the other are lying. Either the Admin did NOT do sufficient background checks or the Senate Democrats, via their press releases to the Junk Journalists, are lying about the facts of this case. Since everyone is basing all their "news" coverage off of a Press Releases sent out by the Senate Democrat's Election Committee and being pushed by little Chuckie Schumer. I guess I pretty sure it is Chuckie who is lying here.

This is precisly what is needed.

Palestine has only one resource, unemployed people. There is a capital and industrial base in the GCC/UAE that can be utilized to develop some light industrial base in Gaza/West Bank and perhaps Jordan.

This is in the interest of the GCC because they don't want the population emigrating to their lands. Jobs at home will kep them home. I've been told the primary reason for the extremely strict Saudi Arabian border controls is to keep out the Palistinians. They allow zillions from the Philippines but not the Palis.
The jobs will negate the need for the very expensive and wasted aid. The corruption is a seive that strains out lots of the aid before it gets where it is needed.


This is capitalism at work.

Once again so everyone will know, the GCC is Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Unites Arab Emirates, Iran and i think pretty soon Iraq.

Dubai buys large shares of Chrysler-Daimler making it third largest share holder. This just gets more unbelievable.

[Grzegorz 246]

Well, they have to invest somewhere these billions they get from export of oil.
