Oh please, all this "outrage" about outsourcing our ports is bullshit. Where was the concern when those silly Brits got the contract for controlling the ports? Saying you are opposed to this because it's outsourcing is a very pathetic cover for saying you don't want this to go through because it's an Arab business.
Hell, Japan runs cargo terminals in the US, and they BOMBED Pearl Harbor. Their government bombed us! Not two citizens, it was their fucking navy. Shouldn't we ban those fuckers from having any business interests in the US?
As far as I'm concerned, this is the best thing Bush has done since being in office.
Quote:
As the U.S. secretary of state heads here for talks, many Arabs go further, saying the very basis of American policy toward the Middle East may be at stake: If the United States can't work with a moderate, friendly and socially liberal Arab ally like Dubai, it may not be able to work with any Arabs at all.
"If the American politicians were smart, they would hold Dubai up as a role model," said Abdul Khaleq Abdulla, a political scientist at Emirates University. "Punishing us sends the wrong message."
President Bush said basically the same Tuesday, threatening to veto legislation aimed at blocking the port deal.
"This is a company that has played by the rules, that has been cooperative with the United States, a country that's an ally in the war on terror, and it would send a terrible signal to friends and allies not to let this transaction go through," Bush said.

This is spot on. It would be extremely idiotic to deny the port deal.
