Will someone please explain to me why we should forget that the UAE aided Osama?
It's not a minor point in the port deal.
President Bush has used 9/11 in every speech since, well, 9/11. Now, I'm not suggesting we nakedly propagandize the tragedy like our president, but again, someone tell me why Dubai's ties to 9/11 aren't relevant.
As for the progressive intellectuals not liking this fight, well, no wonder we've lost so many elections lately. The American people get it even if the progressive intelligentsia doesn't. Maybe we should care more about average Americans than the upper crust crowd, after all, they can't get us elected, but regular folks can.
I'd also like
Terror Guy to tell us what the UAE will do to stop infiltration within their own company from extremists within their own country. Can they give us a guarantee? Or maybe they can offer specific steps they will take to keep terrorists out. What are their screening processes for employees? As Senator Biden asked yesterday, are the classified port documents to which they will be privy just lying in open access on computers back in Dubai? Who has access to those computers? I'm also a little curious why Bush and the Republicans want to allow DP World to keep certain documents outside the U.S.
And let's get real, if DP World were JP World, as in Jordan Ports World, this brouhaha would go bye-bye. King Abdullah I trust, the Dubai sheiks who let bin Laden escape, laundered his money, while also aiding A.Q. Khan spread nukes, not so much.more...
