The Arab company is buying the British company who usually does the port stuff for us if im not mistaking. Its not as if the US went out of thier way to have an Arab country do this. Just so happens that when the Brits sell, the Arabs will have control becuase they are the new owners. But the US wont let the arabs run the show so dont worry. It wont happen. The US will find someone else.

But just so ya know. The arabs wont have any control over the security at the ports. It will still all be done by customs and the coast guard.

But the the port take over wont happen. Even if thier is no security risk it just looks dumb to hand over anything to the Fing arabs! Screw them they suck. Let them slice each others throats and stay away from our ports.

And Jimmy Carter likes the idea so it must be foolish. Thats guys a nut too.

Exclamation true....

but...think about it....and the latest apprehension of three (would be) terrorists looking for a trainer in OHIO
who was known to be a muslim since 2004 was the
only way they were caught....he was our undercover man.

it's quite difficult to infiltrate the specific Arabic groups that are the bad guys....
the Jhadists...... unless your also an Arab....

the only way you can fight them is with the support of the arab community ....which is where President Bush is coming from...

it's all a very mute point really when you consider the fact ...that the shipping industry no matter who's in charge...pick a country off of one of those spinning wheels (like on wheel of fortune)
is only able to check a very small percentage of the containers...

i think they said some rediculous number -> like 6% and the outragious thing is...about this...that the press is ignoring this because its OLD news but still perfectly relevant and that since september 11th
2001
the exact same number of containers are still being checked.
