Another strike against Republicans and Bush. "Oh, yeah--we are fighting terrorists" Our military is, but the Administration is giving away the country.

Chertoff is bad news in every way, all along.....the only question I have is which pipers tune does he dance to?

[Dante3]

Chertnoff is once again wrong. Either he is clueless or . . .

[ncountylee]

Another unnecessary, self inflicted black eye.

[Modok]

Chertoff the f-off

[LucyT]

Isn't Chertoff a clinton hold over?

[Mrs. Darla Ruth Schwerin]

"Homeland Security Director Michael Chertoff on Sunday defended the government's security review of an Arab company given permission to take over operations at six major U.S. ports."

Hmmmm, Mr. Chertoff...I say, hmmmm, Mr. Chertoff...I SAY, HMMMM MR. CHERTOFF...

[Capt. Tom]

"We make sure there are assurances in place, in general, sufficient to satisfy us that the deal is appropriate from a national security standpoint," Chertoff said on ABC's "This Week."

[Signalman]

This is going to be a PR disaster for the Republicans if this deal is not quashed ASAP. The Dems will use it to claim they are stronger on anti-terrorism than the GOP.

This is a BAD move for the GOP. What are they thinking?

[Mears]

This entire situation is the breaking point for me.

The border situation is bad enough but this is the payoff.

Bush et al should be ashamed of themselves.

[trubluolyguy]

Chertoff is so far....unimpressive.

I am trying to be polite here.

[Just mythoughts]

While I am no fan of the buyer of this 'port' business, seems that port security is already run by foreigners. I do not recall Congress whelping about security before now.

[Lobbyist]

Here is an interesting bit of news out of the UAE company

No, in fact he was Repub counsel to one of the Commitees that investigated the klintons.....whitewater, etc, I think.

[Dante3]

Exactly.

Can't blame him on Clinton, when he's in a position that didn't exist back then.

This from the guy who denies Mexican military excursions into the US by saying they were lost after crossing the Rio Grande....our borders are a sieve....yeah I trust him/not......

[BubbaTheRocketScientist]

This is a BAD move for the GOP. What are they thinking?

Obviously they are thinking $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

[Final Authority]

Well, they will only be doing the terrorism that Americans won't do.

Can anyone imagine, you can't be a mentally disordered globalist however, inviting an enemy, sworn to kill you, your wife, your children and destroy the US Constitution, sit down at you table for dinner, and then give him a room to live in your home? GWB has lost his mind. His version of amnesty for criminal aliens and his reluctance to defend our borders announced it first, and now this proves it.

I actually think the very liberal Democrats have something, that he must be impeached, but not for be anti-liberal but only for being an enemy within.
