"""The American public is truly stuck on stupid on this issue. The Democrats are demagoguing it, and the Republicans are acting like lemmings, scrambling to get to the right of the Democrats on it.

I have never seen ignorance prevail in such a blatant way"""



You're sounding pretty stupid yourself on this issue.

Are you trying to tell me that the risk of a terrorist attack at one of these port is the same if American companies are running it or an Arab country is running it.

Ignorance is truly contagious.

You can't tell me that some Arabs wouldn't observe how the Homeland security operates at the port facility and tell some of their buddies back home.

You people need to get a grip, GWB isn't always right.

American companies weren't running these ports to begin with. P&O was a British company.

And Arabs are not in charge of security, for the umpteenth time. Homeland Security and the Coast Guard are.
