Better to be on the side of GWB, General Tommy Franks, Colin Powell, and the WSJ, than that of Schumer, Savage, and Hillary.

BTW: You do realize that the ports will still be under U.S. control, don't you?

BTW: You do realize that the ports will still be under U.S. control, don't you?

You do know that the most likely way the first WMD/nuke strike to reach our shores will likely arrive in a cargo container/boat-ship via one or more of our ports?

You do know that only a minuscule amount of the millions of cargo containers that arrive in the US yearly, I believe it's less than 2 to 3 percent, are actually opened and inspected?

You do know that shielding the radioactive signature of a device from the "NEST" sweeps is easily achieved?

And you want to possibly exacerbate this already precarious and dangerous situation by allowing a UAE state-owned company have ANY access to or influence on ship manifests and what comes into this nation?

The same UAE that enabled financially and through travel access, the 9/11 terrorists.

The same UAE, an Arab and Muslim nation that does not recognize the right of Israel to exist?

Better to be on the side of God's chosen people, and err on the side of caution...regardless of a handful of Bush sycophants.
