Politicians have been quick to point out that two of the 9/11 hijackers were from UAE. And we're turning over our ports to them? Well, by that logic, we shouldn't let Lufthansa land in our airports or have military bases in Germany, because that country housed a bunch of the 9/11 hijackers as they were plotting.

Yeah, and didn't some of those same hijackers learn how to fly the planes in Florida? LOL. I say we ban all Floridians from working either in airports or seaports.

Lol, there's a thought.

Yes, and Timothy McVeigh--the Oklahoma City bomber--grew up in New York state, didn't he? I suggest the United States immediately withdraw all contracts and business with any company in New York. After all, it was home to our worst domestic terrorist.

I think we ought to ban banks in Cincinnati too. Sean's bloviating yesterday revealed that a financial transfer was made from a bank in Dubai to a bank in Cincinnati.

The ignorance surrounding this deal is breathtaking.

Doubtful there is a port in the country that is administered by any American company.

Well, it's too late, baby. According to James Jay Carafano of the Heritage Foundation (a place really known for its Arab-loving, soft-on-terror approach), "Foreign companies already own most of the maritime infrastructure that sustains American trade…"

Herein lies the REAL scandal:

Bush said he is continuing his commitment to seek out alternative fuels and lessening the dependence on foreign oil. However, that does not mean he's going to support offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.
"I made a commitment that nothing is going to happen within 100 miles of this coastline, and I'm honoring that commitment," Bush said. "I don't care what people might be saying. It's a commitment that this government has. There's a lot of technologies that are coming on the market, and we're spending money. It's a good use of taxpayers' money it seems like to me in order to achieve some big objectives."

It's time to realize that George W. Bush is nothing more than an OPEC sockpuppet.
His "big objectives" include propping up oil consumption with federal deficit spending so that his petro-cronies can continue to acquire control of our transportation infrastructure (ports, highways, etc.)

The FBI agents who raised red flags about Middle Easterners in Florida flight schools were called paranoid, too.
