Hold up! This can't be a direct quote! Frist has got to know this has nothing to do with port security being run by a Arab CO.!

The company's statement also refers to a delay before "taking over the ports." But, hey who are you going to believe? Your own eyes, or Bush and the Bushbots. Six ports became 21, its a meaningless deal that nobody knew about; not even homeland defense who didn't know but were opposed. It is the only thing in the last 5 years that has sent the President scrambling for his Veto pen - although, he only knew what he read in the papers. Where there is smoke there is fire and where there is stench there is rot.

Yea this whole frickin bit smells. Not to mention that UAE gave $100 mil for katrina relief two weeks before this deal.

Where there is smoke there is fire and where there is stench there is rot.The smoke is generally from between the ears of the uninformed. First there are no 6 ports or 21 ports. They would buy the leases of 6 port terminals in 5 ports from P&Q. P&Q owns 21 terminals in several ports. The NY port alone has 102 terminals and P&Q one of the world largest shipping lines leases 2 for loading and off loading passengers and cargo. Cargo and passengers must go through customs before leaving or entering the terminal from the port. You cannot either leave or enter a terminal without going through the port.
