ADDITION TO PREVIOUS POST:

Dubai Port World also confirmed today that it will not allow Israel to use any of its six NEW port slots (if approved by Bush) in Newark, PHiladelphia, Baltimore, etc.

Real reasonable Arabs, huh?

[veronica]

Still OPPOSE.

[MikefromOhio]

support.....

We have a history of supporting and cooperating with our allies in theatres where we are engaged. Japan after WWII, Germany after WWII, etc. Dubai is the same here. I think that if we are to EVER change the culture over there, we need to show them that we AREN'T just about who and what they are.

It's debates just like the one we are having which the leaders of AQ and other rogue regimes (and corrupt Senators from NY) look for and pounce on to rile the masses against the US.

Oppose 100%

Giving control of major US ports over to an Islamic state is a stupid idea at anytime, much less wartime!

We could be dropping bombs on Iran any day now, Iraq is descending into civil war with our troops in the middle and we are cutting the pallies off of all funding(good move).

Does this seem like a good time to give major ports over to the UAE, where some of the 9-11 islamofascist killers came from??

The same country where their money came from???

ITS WARTIME PEOPLE! Not business as usual time!

Hi Jim,
Still oppose. Something about 9/11 makes it uncomfortable to swallow. Don't see much difference between this and turning our ports over to some German or Japanese company during WWII. We are at war and even though most of the politicians don't seem to git it, our enemy sure understands the meaning of war. I will rethink my stand when UAE recognizes Israel.

Will I vote for the Democrats if this passes? HELL NO. Am I a racist? Nope. I only judge people by their character and actions. Don't think I need to add much more than that.

[Brandie]

Oppose,and I opposed it from the second I heard about it.
My only wish is that we could do this ourselves, America and not some other county.
