On Friday, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice defended the Dubai deal, telling a Mideast news outlet: "There was a thorough review. It was decided that this could be done and done safely."

Even so, why take the political hit -- an obvious loser -- and the potential security hit, which could lead to a HUGE political loss?

Does Halliburton lack the expertise to run ports?

My thoughts exactly! Someone has to run these ports... It would be priceless if they got the contract.

LOL. But I would be much happier to see them doing it.

It doesn't really matter how "safe" the UAE company running these six ports would be, it is stupid to give the opposition anti-War 'rats ANY issue where they can look stronger on defense and homeland security than the President.

So, I think that the UAE "deal" needs to be rethunk, and it was obviously misunderthunk.
