Turning access to port security to an ambivalent foreign nation is pure stupidity. Bush has continually made the statement of vigilance. That we have to be correct 100% of the time, but the terrorist only need to be correct once!

Saudi Arabia is one of our strongest Arab allies. Yet Bin Laden is a Saudi and many of the Saudi royals are sympathetic to his cause and contribute money arms and people to the cause.

All that is needed is a sympathetic UAE Royal with access to the knowledge of security protocol, which anyone managing the port facilities would become aware of, to give this information to help an enemy put a nuke on a container. This is the very premise of why Bush invaded Iraq. Preemption. So we should use the same logic with not giving control to an Arab company or Country of our ports. It is a preemptive move to keep our ports safe from possible future attacks.

Oh and the Saudi's do manage US ports....Saudi-owned ports operation. http://www.nscsaamerica.com/  http://www.nscsaamerica.com/...

 

If people only knew the facts, they would not be fighting for the 'RIGHT' to be screwed over.

Nixon 1973:  "I am not a crook!"
Clinton 1998 wagging finger: "I did not have sex with that woman!"
Bush 2005 wagging finger:  "I did nothing illegal!"
