Port-A-Potty
Everyone is concerned with the security measures this new port deal will entail. There should be less worry about the terrorists abroad and more emphasis on the terror in our own administration. A few things to ponder: A) why this deal came about nearly overnight without our knowledge (Patriot Act, anyone?) B) Bush's very public aggressiveness (immediate threat to veto) and C) why the press have been in such an uproar. What do they know that we don't?Could it have something to do with this?
"The United States' trade relationship with the UAE is the third largest in the Middle East, after Israel and Saudi Arabia. The two nations are engaged in bilateral free talks that would liberalise trade between the two countries and would, in theory at least, allow companies to own and operate businesses in both nations. 'There are legitimate security questions to be asked but it would be a mistake and really an insult to one of our leading trading partners in that region to reject this commercial transaction out of hand,' said Daniel T. Griswold, who directs the Center for Trade Policy Studies at the Cato Institute, a Washington-based libertarian think tank."
