"Just wait until there are Americans in this country who were traveling on the day that an Al quieda cell managed to infiltrate the Security of one or two of our busiest sea ports with a nuclear device."

If they could do that after this deal goes through, they could do it now. If you can manage to get a nuke on a boat into an American port, then I don't really see how the ownership of the company who unloads things at that port is particularly relevant?

Yeah, it's probably easy enough for them to do that now so what's the big bitch about making it a cakewalk?

It has to do with 'contacts' - I don't trust the U.A.E. because these 'Friends' have other friends who are not our friends. If one such friend vouches for another friend to come to the United States and that friend vouches for still another...

We were sitting fat, dumb, and lazy on September 11th and we're getting that way again. The 911 Hijackers passed into and out of this country on numerous occasions and had money wired to themselves to live on until they were ready to strike and almost no one was paying any attention to them whatsoever (until September 11, 2001).

This time we could end up with a smoking hole in the ground that is 3 or 4 miles in diameter (instead of 12 or 15 square blocks) with radioactive debris for another 4 or 5 miles in every direction beyond that. I will not back down on this one, I don't think I'm wrong on it, and I don't think I'm alone (or unduly concerned) either!
