Let's Let Osama's Friends Run the Ports..Brilliant

I have an idea. Since we are afraid of terrorists infiltrating our "homeland defense" let's give over our port management to...an Arab country. But not just any Arab country. Let's give it to one with a long record of supporting Osama, denying worker rights, abusing immigrants, female repression...and child labor trafficking...Brilliant, old, boy, simply brilliant.
I think my ear is still sore from the Cheney gunshot blast. Did I hear this correctly. In another one of the Cheney administration secret deals, they have given over 5 or 6 ports to be managed by a company completely owned by the United Arab Emirates.
Was this the same UAE that allowed their ports to be used for illegal nuke transhipments from Pakistan ? Uh, yup.
Is this the same UAE that had pre-9/11 ties to Ossama the Bomba and al-Qaeda ? Ummmmm...yup.
Is this the same UAE that has been cited for human rights violations such as refusing to allow workers to organize, allowing no worker rights, trafficking in child labor, etc ? Yepper, one and the same.
This sounds like a real good deal for the US. Let's let a human rights violating, al-Qaeda-supporting government take control over our ports.
Of course, the department of Homeland Security and Coast Guard had objections to this port takeover, but the "don't bother me with facts" mentality in the Cheney White House ignored the experts. Again.
The best scene was watching Cheney's "beetch", GW, defending the port giveaway to the public. Later the White House admitted that GW was not even notified of the transaction until he read about it in the press. Now there's a man who knows what's happening. No reason to wake up George and get him in the loop on this one. Let him sleep.
All we have been hearing for the last 4 years from this band of charlatans has been...terror...homeland security...terror attacks...fear Arabs...we need to tap your phones and read your emails....red alert... Maybe they should start reading their own emails.
If this time period is as dangerous for America as Cheney makes it out to be, why give up management of our ports to foreigners ? Can you imagine FDR giving a contract to Morocco to run Pearl Harbor during WW2 ? Or LBJ handing over Boston to be managed by the Chinese during the Vietnam War ?
This latest folly further exposes the "war on terror" to be the phoney war that it is. Just another way to transfer wealth from the American people to international energy and transportation conglomerates. At least the Halliburton corruption went to American crooks. This port transfer to a non-democratic Middle Eastern Arab state is the ultimate cynicism.
There is something deeper and more disturbing here. Giving control of American shipping facilities to foreign powers like UAE indicates the real priorities of this gang.
And homeland security is evidently pretty low on the list.
