Lawmakers Decry Ports Takeover

Just what the hell has happened to the United States of America? Has everyone gone stark raving mad? Is there not one person with a brain in the entire Bush-whacking administration? I mean here we are, the most despised, targeted nation in the world, and we are about to let a foreign country run & control the security of, our ports. And not just any foreign country, no, we are about to allow "Dubai Ports World" of the United Arab Emirates to take over.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said the government typically builds in "certain conditions or requirements that the company has to agree to make sure we address the national security concerns." "We make sure there are assurances in place, in general, sufficient to satisfy us that the deal is appropriate from a national security standpoint."

Oh I feel so much better knowing this. So that means that we take them at their word right? You know, recite the old boy scout oath and we're good to go huh? So then why didn't we take Saddam at his word? Or Iran at its? Or Bin Laden, the Taliban or Joe criminal down the street? I'll tell you why, because people are liars, that's why. All people. Look no further than G.W. Bush, Bill Clinton et al. Heck I'm certain not one of the 9/11 terrorists came into this country announcing their real intentions, did they? Oh wait maybe they did and our illustrious intelligence community just didn't believe them. We're surrounded by idiots I tell you.

This is a classic case of how our freedoms come back to haunt us. You see we cant just automatically eliminate the United Arab Emirates just because of who or what they are. To do so would be unfair discrimination and a violation of our basic beliefs
