Are conservatives and the Republican Party really this ignorant? Are they truly so ignorant that they believe a foreign country would become responsible for security at these six ports?

Maybe you should get more FACTS before you form an opinion. Think US Customs, Homeland Security and Coast Guard.

Yes, that's my entire point. Most of FR doesn't understand this: they think the UAE will be directly running the security at these ports--they won't be.

I've been trying to drill that point into a few people's heads, with varying degrees of success.
