They are going to block the port deal. Well, I guess we better kick out all the other foreign owned companies who run 98% of our ports. And, we should kick Dubai World out of the other 15-20 ports they already run in the United States. Further proof that the party of Lincoln and Reagan needs better leadership in Congress.Dubai World already runs ports in this country. They are run by a western born executive, and have a board of directors mainly of westerners. However, because they are owned by the UAE, we need to scuttle the deal, because, well, you know, they are...(gasp!)Arabs! And, all arabs had something to do with 9/11, don't you know? This type of blatant and beyond the pale profiling makes legitimate profiling look bad. We have highlighted again and again. This has nothing to do with port security, but the management of ports. Dubai World is buying out a British company that couldn't make it with union labor costs from those wonderful Longshoremen and costs due to mismanagement and lawsuits over the Staten island Ferry crash that killed people a few months ago.
The UAE company is not going to allow terrorists to sneak stuff into the US. If they did, who would we seek to bomb first? The UAE. Also, since 9/11 the UAE has been an ally in the war on terror. Are we going to kick out all pakistanis because their nation did business with the Taliban? No, because they are now an ally.
This type of reactionist rhetoric does nothing but play into the islamofascists hand, ginning up the false charges of racism and anti-muslim feelings that they classify us in the US as having. This is an idiot move. But what can I expect from the likes of Hastert and Frist, the porko kings?
