You are so right. I support the President(Except for the Myers nomination) on almost everything. I do not support him on this.

And I thought it was caused by Arab Muslim terrorists with funding from the UAE.. I must be mistaken; it was Santa and his reindeer flying too low in a practice run!

I said nothing about the borders. Myrick was totally out of line addressing the President the way she did, PERIOD.

Oh, have you seen this thread? Maybe you could send it to Myrick so she can send Gen. Tommy Franks a "HELLO NO!" letter too:

Greetings BillyBoy:

Yes, our "best friends" were being soooo helpful when they were one of ONLY THREE nations to recognize the Taliban government in Afghanistan.

IIRC, UAE recognition of the Taliban was pre-9/11, and the UAE fully supported our removal of the Taliban despots post-9/11.

The bottom line of this port deal: shippers write checks to a different accounts receivable name, and a different company name is on the accounts payable checks.

Cheers,
OLA

Actually, it is. It's a given that most FReepers are anti-Islaminazi as I am. But not many FReepers have a working knowledge of both the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 and the Arab culture and language as I do.

Cheers,

"In regards to selling American ports to the United Arab Emirates..."

Yes, in regards to that, they aren't selling American ports.

It "cedes" nothing. It's not as though we're swapping land for peace here. It's a management contract for services

In spite of all the paid taxpayer paid lobbyists now on TV in actuality once the shipping containers are down loaded from the ships the USD government no longer has the security responsibility, it shifts to the company.

Also of note is that this company gave millions to Cargill a company that the senior Bush was associated with and they gave millions to Jeb Bushe's business in Fla.

A what a tangled web we weave

I think some Al Queda funding went through banks in the UAE, but I haven't heard any screams for cutting ties with Germany or Switzerland where the same thing happened.
