Call me crazy, but I think the port issue deserves higher coverage. The port issue is about security threats to come. The WMD issue is already settled, whether to our satisfaction or not. Iraq won't be getting WMDs. If our ports are secured by Arabs, the ports might be used as entry for WMDs.
I still think that the port of Houston or one near it in Texas will be the next terrorist target.
The next terrorist target is any upcoming U.S. election. And their strategy is to get democrats elected.
Bush was right about the WMD's.
This is a complete false premise. If the UAE company buys these ports....they will not be "secured" by Arabs. They will be secured by exactly the same people that are securing them now. Do you see "British" security officials at our ports now doing the majority of security? - Of course not.
The same people allready secure and inspect much of the cargo that comes into US ports from other ports that they operate.
They could have allready done us in, if that was their plan.
The possibility that someone in the White House has business ties to this deal is the real issue.
