NEW YORK -- The Port Authority said Thursday it will file suit to block a Dubai-based firm from taking over operations at a Port Newark container terminal, saying the federal government has not given them assurances about security issues.

So are the muslims. And they are buying our country and using PC crap in the schools. They don't need to attack. They'll take over from within.
Is your point that we should raise our standards at the airports (I would agree with that) or that we should lower our standards elsewhere (I would disagree with that).
None of the 9/11 hijackers came from England, nor do they support al-Quada. Two of the 9/11 hijackers were from the United Arab Emirates and they both supported and gave safe haven to these bastards. That's all I'm saying, that Hastert is right in calling for further investigation into this.
Wish I'd been here for that...
Other captured combatants fighting the U.S. (ie. terrorists) have come from England. The very same England that is currently in the process of turning over commercial ports operations to DP World also.
Yes, we are sheeple because some of us can actually tell the difference between a good Muslim and a bad Muslim, and because we are more willing to give the President of the United States the benefit of the doubt than we are Chuck Schumer and the Longshoreman's Union which is run by his wife.
It's a sad state of affairs all around isn't it? Money trumps national security, we are being sold out for a price.
Anyway, if al Queada has infiltrated our shipping ports through Saudi links and someone in the WH thinks that's a fair reason to let more of their spies in through the UAE, then we're probably standing in deeper doodoo than I thought. Maybe it's time to get out the life rafts instead of debating this insane deal.
Excellent post. And I do at times think the Bush family is to close too Middle Eastern dictators, be they Saudi or what-have-you.
Chuckie will take whatever side of a position he can best exploit for Chuckie
He'd take the position of a distressed turd, if it smelled strong enough.
Good post. I don't know why anyone would be swayed by members of the executive branch or military coming forward to parrot their support for the Commander in Chief. What else are they going to do-----call him a bozo and get fired?
I totally agree further investigation and public hearings are required. However, the Dems intend to drive this as a GOP wedge issue prior to the fall elections.... Either way Conservatives need to get on the same sheet regarding this issue.
"ha-ha. people are definitely getting their marching orders on this one. They are so confused. I love the "people are finally starting to get the facts and come around on this one" line."
So you enjoy seeing the hearts and minds of Americans turned to stone and takin over by deceptive "facts". The British have done it so the Arabs should be able to do it too. When the real fact is that the British should never have been alowed to do it either. Convincing people that those who control the port are "Checked" by some sort of American watchful eye. Ha HA...They don't even have to keep records at the port. Who do you think is going to be in the hiring base of the future at these ports....Americans? Wake up. You don't have much more time to do so.
Despite which group has been hyping this issue for their own particular benefit, the underlying (security) concern IS resonating among the populace -- who often seem to "get it" while the ruling elite are off scheming and spinning.
Thanks for your well-stated post.
Your right it sounds exactly like Rush. It is why I stopped listening to him years ago. I think they put a chip in his Brain...LOL
...Isn't this how despots come to power, through blind allegiance, no fellow party members daring to point out what they percieve as a big mistake? ...
Precisely.
To use the same company that provides the same services directly for our U.S. Navy? For a company that is extremely efficient?
Seems like a damn good reason for some Congressional hearings to me.
Maybe the city's can take the port land via eminant domain and build a Mcdonalds there. We already have the USSC on our side.
