>>>Or, just maybe instead of relying on propaganda statements from Al Qaeda, he knows the reality of the situation instead. It is amazing how suddenly 4 year old Al Qaeda propaganda is suddenly taken as the gospel truth.>>>
You really want to gamble on that with our national security? A GOVERNMENT OWNED COMPANY, a government that has been sympathetic and complacent in helping Al Queda attack us in the past will be in charge of knowing the ins and outs of our port security procedures, and we have this intellegence that says Al Queda are IN the government...
How sure are you that is it's propaganda with no truth to it?
COSCO is a government owned company that has run our ports for years. Somehow, we have survived. The UAE did not help Al Qaeda attack us in the past anymore than Germany, Switzerland or even ourselves. Remember that every one of the terrorists involved in 9/11 were in this country legally and many received their flying training here. Should we ban trade with ourselves? And we have absolutely no intelligence that says Al Qaeda is in their government. What we have is a 4 year old Al Qaeda propaganda statement published by a group a terrorists furious that the UAE was being so helpful to the West (and especially the US) in fighting terrorism.
Who do you suggest we believe, you or the entire United States government?
