ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) — President Bush says the deal allowing an Arab company to take over six major U.S. seaports should go forward and he will veto any bill that would stop it.

''The overall threat to the United States and security, I don't think it exists,'' Carter said on CNN's The Situation Room. ``I'm sure the president's done a good job with his subordinates to make sure this is not a threat.''


Alzheimers. Carter still thinks Bubba's in office. Go hammer something my friend, go hammer.

Are you willing to declare war on Dubai?

Yep - Ashscroft and Bush himself helped bin Ladin's families - so they can never run port operations either I guess.

Islam is a Religion of Peace and DemocRats aren't World Communists begging for America to be subjugated to UN-World-Governance.

I just can't hear a damn thing with all the shrieking going on.

At least it isn't your wife shrieking at you. :)

Dubai allows for women to dress as they wish and allows for Christians to worship as they please. They have BARS and NIGHTCLUBS that serve alcohol! You can buy the finest wine and food there.

When did all this take place? It sure wasn’t that way in the 90’s.

There must be some special expertise about this job that no American company is able, or wants, to do. I am not sure, but I think this same company already does some work at other US ports....

it is illustrative as a debating point - for the freepers who support this port operations takeover, its a fair question to ask them if they would support the same acquisition of american nuclear power plant operations.

"thumbs up to hipaatwo's post:"

""It turns out that an anti-Israeli foundation run by the crown prince of Dubai owns the very deed to CAIR's headquarters located almost in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol. The foundation has held telethons to support families of Palestinian suicide bombers."

Lets see now, is there any reason left why this smelly bucket of cow guts should be allowed to go forward? Any reason at all...

Your premise is faulty. There is NO such thing as a friendly Arab country. They all want to screw us in some way. Either money, bombs or some other evil way. The Arab world is not to be trusted. Anybody who embraces the insanity of Islam is automatically suspect.

The Bigotry and racism exposed here is making us look like utter fools in this game.And Bush has chosen the high, non-racist road. The same one I'M on.

"Why pay top dollar when your only two competitors are persona non grata?"

That is a question better directed at the board of P & O. We'll soon be finding out just how important their port contracts in the US actually are, if the DPWorld acquisition goes through, because it has been made quite plain that several states plan to void their contracts.

Are you serious? If you are, then anything Carter really wants to scuttle, he should come out in favor of?

No, your statement is clearly WRONG....

Please point out which specific nations that we have declared war since 9/11. We are at war against Al Queda not Afganistan and against the former Iraqi leadership and not Iraq.

Why should we care about port security being turned over to an Arab muslim state when they can just make their stuff right here in America?

You ought to check your facts before posting nonsense like that. Security at U.S. ports is the responsibility of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, not the companies that operate the terminals.

Personally that it really the only worrisome thing for me on this deal. Carter is a perfect negative barometer. If he is for it, that's cause for concern
