"We're not, that's why I specifically said hostile elements within the United Arab Emirates could infiltrate those ports, they exist and it would be naive to suggest they don't."
Well, hostile elements within the United States can infiltrate those ports--and they already have, it's called the Longshoreman's Union. Perhaps we should just close them down completely in the name of avoiding any and all risk.
Give it a rest please, I'm not in a union but the union bashing for the sake of it gets old after a while, especially when it somehow gets twisted as a justification to allow Middle Easterners to control the security of our ports. As if they're more desirable than American longshoreman.
