Another strike against Republicans and Bush. "Oh, yeah--we are fighting terrorists" Our military is, but the Administration is giving away the country.

if the administration insists on advocating this - then they deserve to have the political wolves come after them, and it will be bi-partisan in nature, congresional inquiries, whatever it takes.

I am the only one on this site who is not worried about Dubai providing management services for our ports? The ports will STILL be under control of the local port authorities. Besides, Dubai is the Monaco, Arizona, and Switzerland of the Middle East rolled into one. Sheik Makhtoum runs the most liberal state in the region, one where women are not subject to the veil and the house, and where the free market reigns.

This controversy over the ports is a tempest in a teapot.
