[QUOTE="jules23, post: 80857, member: 1018"] [url]http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/02/23/port.security/index.html[/url] My favorite quote from this article is : "At his Cabinet meeting Thursday, Bush also questioned whether a double standard was being applied to DP World and said it was "interesting" that there was no outcry about a British company managing the ports." I laughed for a good five minutes...to the point where I was almost in tears. Um...hello...is he kidding? Our ports should not be handled by foreign interests, but last time I checked Britian was our ally, therefore, we can reasonably assume our ports would be guarded by them in a decent manner. The UAE, Saudi's, mostly everyone in the Middle East (with a few exceptions) HATE us with an unrivaled passion...why in the world would we let anyone from those countries guard our ports is beyond me. Except that Bush doesn't think we 'need to worry about security'. Oh, goody. [/QUOTE]
