Exclamation Arabs Operating U.S. Ports...

Well...I will reserve my own comments till a later time (since I work for a Port)....what do you all think about this issue?

United States Government approves $6.8billion sale of Port operations to U.A.E.

This news was so......Yesterday.

Homeland Security is urging Bush to block the deals until a full investigation into the company is done.
(I see now your article explains that)

Here in Maryland it actually united our leftie Mayor of Baltimore and rightie govenor of MD.

When those two agree it means the program is REALLY REALLY BAD. Frankly once I heard they agreed I started packing up. Colorado here I come.

Taking into account the size of the containers and the amount of explosives that could be packed inside....

....it's possible you could land in Colorado.

Which reminds me of a funny Classified ad I saw;
"Help Wanted. Man wanted to work in dynomite factory, must be willing to travel."

I've got Rush Limbaugh on right now....

he is such a tool of the GOP...

If Clinton would have suggested this it would be Treason....because Bush suggested it, he is all for it....

I havent read enough into it yet to make up my mind but Rush is just plan pitiful now

Since Bush cannot run for a third term (even though he stacked the Supreme Court)...
The 2008 elections will provide this country with a new vision and a new direction and this is just the man to git-er-done...
