I'm sure that there's evidence to support the admin's contention that UAE are our buds.

That said: if this deal didn't look real stinky to those who negotiated it, then there's even more serious stupidity in the Admin than I'd believed before. Stinks to high heaven!

Gee, outsourcing our nuke power security software to -- ohIdunno -- a N. Korean firm... is that next? Sheesh.

I've been having fits over this ports-UAE thing for days!

Bad enough that this administration really will not deal with the Mexican-border mess. But our ports handed over to Muslims? Argghhhh!

How can the Bush administration even consider such a thing? Grover Norquist, perhaps? See http://alwaysonwatch.blogspot.co...st- enabler.html

PS: Hillary is making hay of this, and the article about it has already appeared @

http://today.reuters.com/news/ne...ORTS.xml& rpc=22 :

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two U.S. Democratic senators said on Friday they would introduce legislation aimed at blocking Dubai Ports World from buying a company that operates several U.S. shipping ports because of security concerns.

Robert Menendez of New Jersey and Hillary Clinton of New York said they would offer a measure to ban companies owned or controlled by foreign governments from acquiring U.S. port operations....

Watch Hillary position herself now as the defender of our ports.
