So GW didn't know about it, but he appointed one of the major players to a government position, but he will veto any attempted legislation to quell the deal, but he only found out about the deal a few days ago.


hmmmmmmmm

Head mucky-muck of DPW left his position to become Bush's nominee last month and was confirmed two weeks ago to become the new head mucky-muck of the US Maritime Administration. Nope, GW didn't know a thing and I've got a bridge for sale.

He is rapidly closing the flip-flop gap with John Kerry.

What didn't he know and when didn't he know it?

Cheers!

and for those who say that we will still control the SECURITY at the ports...yes that's true but the UAE will have access ..and ...

Since 9/11, Washington has spent billions of dollars on airport security. But the bigger terrorist threat may be at U.S. seaports.

No one knows for sure if terrorists have managed to get their hands on weapons of mass destruction. But if they wanted to smuggle one into the United States, the best way to do it would be by sea, inside a shipping container.

Six million of them arrive in the United States every year, and ... only a tiny fraction of them are ever inspected.

This is a $7 BILLION dollar deal. Just follow the money and see who got paid off. I'm betting that there are some GOP heavy hitters who stand to make a great deal of money from this.

Deserves a repost...my take on the matter, exactly!
