Kristen Breitweiser:Coming to a Port Near You-where Dubya stands for Dubai

Coming to a Port Near You--where Dubya stands for Dubai

As a citizen concerned with your latest illogical decision to outsource America's critical infrastructure to a nation with established terrorist ties, I implore you to recognize that the Dubai Deal will have lasting negative effects on our country's internal security. I suggest you reconsider your latest bad decision. Here are some facts and statements that perhaps you need to review.

"YOU ARE EITHER WITH US OR WITH THE TERRORISTS"

Recognize those words, Mr. President? You should, because you uttered them immediately after the 9/11 attacks. And, that's why I now question your recent approval of the outsourcing of our port security to an Arab nation that funded the 9/11 hijackers.

Need proof of the financial assistance provided by the UAE to the 9/11 hijackers? Then, perhaps, you should review the Moussaoui indictment laid out by the United States Justice Department. And first, remember that Moussaoui is the ONLY terrorist that we are currently "bringing to justice" (since you have yet to capture Bin Laden "dead or alive"). And, hopefully with all your recent arrogant, assumed Absolute Executive Powers, you might even persuade Attorney General Gonzales (you know, the guy who runs the Justice Department) to actually read the Moussaoui indictment, as well, since he also thinks this Dubai Deal passes the smell test.

Specifically, you and Gonzales should read the following counts in the Moussaoui indictment:

-snip-
"WE DON'T WANT TO SEND A BAD MESSAGE TO OUR ALLIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST"

Futhermore, Mr. President, since you have been singularly focused on your unjustified and fraudulent attack of Iraq (a nation that only became a real terrorist threat after your illegal invasion of it), nations like North Korea, Iran, and Syria have re-constituted and strengthened their nuclear weapons programs. Mr. President perhaps I need to spell this out for you: when a nation re-constitutes its nuclear weapons program, it means that it is a real, credible threat. Real nuclear weapons=real problem--get it?

Do you realize Mr. President that your little so-called "ally"--the UAE--happened to be one of the main thoroughfares through which those nuclear components traveled to North Korea, Iran, and Libya. Sir, respectfully, how can you consider that being an ally?

-snip-
"WE DO NOT NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS"

You seem to be right on this one President Bush. We don't "negotiate" with terrorists; we get blackmailed or "oil-mailed" by them, huh.


-snip-
Sir, an integral part of your presidential oath of office is/was to protect this country. If this has become too difficult a task for you, perhaps it's time you and your cabal stepped down and rode off into the proverbial sunset because the rest of us are not willing to sell our souls or our country to the highest bidder--we aren't in this for the money, the oil, or the power. Remember that.

8. I can't believe anyone as smart as she EVER supported *.
It's unfortunate that the tragic loss of her husband was the catalyst to her awakening.

She's an amazing woman.

11. The information on Iran and Syria is missleading:
"nations like North Korea, Iran, and Syria have re-constituted and strengthened their nuclear weapons programs".
That is the allegation that Bush is making, but it has not been proven. While I appreciate the bulk of the article, I am concerned about spreading missinformation about Iran and Syria.

12. Established Terrorist Ties?
I dont see this unless we use differing definitions of "established." Based on what most people would think of this word then I think the United States has "established ties" with terrorist.
