I agree with you. We, a country in wartime, are in a very bad place. Bush, however, is not without blame.
Funny you would mention gantry cranes. A rather ironic suggestion, given the context. Investing in national-security-vacant hoisting devices has been a long-standing strategy of missus clinton. For her entire adult (such as it is) life, zipper-hoisting has been missus clinton's principal means of upward mobility. Zipper-hoisting has proved to be a sticky wicket for missus clinton, owing not to antithetical feminist ideology, as one would expect -- feminists willingly sacrificed feminism on the altar of clintonism -- but to zipper choice, her rather injudicious attachment early on to a certain zipper habitually on the downslide. As for the larger cranes, with highrise buildings becoming juicy 'military' targets, with engineering and material failures implicated in the WTC collapse, perhaps whooping cranes would be a more national-security-neutral choice, (avian flu notwithstanding).... The strategic importance of Dubai as a staging area is precisely the point. (My point, BTW.) Because of its importance, Bush should never have allowed this issue to develop in the first place. I say this for three reasons:
