US firms aren't checking the cargo before it is placed on the ships and sails into our harbors, because none operate overseas. Why the sudden paranoia over the name of the company who's logo is on the manifest for the unloading portion of the journey? Woulnd't a nuke loaded overseas have as catastrophic effect if it went off in the port as if it went off in the neighboring city? Sure, some myopic individuals may disagree with that statement, but I doubt they've given it much thought.

UAE is an allie. Some, myself included may disagree with some of their positions, past and present. But then, I also disagree with some elements in the Iraq Constitution. That doesn't diminish the value of UAE in the GWOT or the value of the Iraq Constitution on the spread of freedom in the world.

The UAE port deal will go through, and those Rats opposed to it (Reid, et al) will again be exposed as the ignorant bigots they are.

Don't bother... half of the people in here only see turbins and prayer rugs when you try to educate them with facts on the deal.

From what I have read about the way the UAE operates these terminals (not ports....for those that still haven't figured it out), I think they will be more secure than they were before.

The UAE has a lot at stake here and it is business.
