I'll tell you what's turned me around on this, prairie...........and it just happened today.
CWO Jackson gave me the inside information on the Coast Guard, and what the Navy thinks.........and then I read Tommy Frank's comments, and I became convinced that there is absolutely no added security risk with this move, and that it is a good decision all around.
I am now at peace about the President's decision (thank the Lord!)
Thanks ohioWfan. Like many other people with a real working knowledge of port operations, I couldn't believe this was ever an issue.
