This whole ordeal is embarrassing to no end. Running the day to day operation of our ports is NO threat to America. It's like saying that Daimler is going to threaten America by neo-nazis infiltrating Chrysler. I am ashamed to be a conservative right now...I'm sorry to say. We have proved to the left that we are reactionary and easily manipulated. President Bush is a man of principle. He will stand by this deal because he believes there is no threat and the UAE deserves to be treated as an ally not an enemy. He will not back down. No matter how many Al Qeada propaganda reports are released.

Ok. So knowing the ins and outs of our security procedures is NO threat, or no potential threat?

I give an example. Someone steals from you. They apologize and are very very nice to you for a few years after stealing from you. So then are you going you going to let them housesit? I wouldn't.

Lol, one of THE worst hyperboles I've ever seen at FR.

False. As Frank Gaffney has testified, this puts them inside our security perimeter. With all that entails.

For you to even claim otherwise, you manifestly have no knowledge to support your position.

And don't rely on broad, over-reaching assertions for the headlines by top-brass idiots. And having some 'expert' who isn't say its so...doesn't make it so. We have had countless dock-security people screaming murder about this...and they are being over-ridden...and having their jobs threatened.

If your side was so confident in your 'thorough vetting' why won't you let it stand in the light of day? Why the Soviet-style oppression of dissent? Especially those with the ACTUAL expertise.

Somethings rotten, and it isn't in Denmark.
