turns out in addition to uae running six of OUR ports, THEY WOULD ALSO CONTROL SOME OF OUR MILITARY SHIPMENTS

UAE Would Also Control Shipments of Military Equipment For The U.S. Army
There is bipartisan concern about the Bush administration’s decision to outsource the operation of six of the nation’s largest ports to a company controlled by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) because of that nation’s troubling ties to international terrorism. The sale of P&O to Dubai World Ports would give the state-owned company control of “the ports of New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, New Orleans, Miami and Philadelphia.”
A major part of the story, however, has been mostly overlooked. The company, Dubai Ports World, would also control the movement of military equipment on behalf of the U.S. Army through two other ports. From today’s edition of the British paper Lloyd’s List:
[P&O] has just renewed a contract with the United States Surface Deployment and Distribution Command to provide stevedoring [loading and unloading] of military equipment at the Texan ports of Beaumont and Corpus Christi through 2010.........

i think i'd rather have delores, a street person (i.e. crack ho) i know running the ports. at least then you'd KNOW where you stood. as a matter of fact delores is rather like the uae, when she sees me she says, 'a rose is a rose, YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL TODAY. {waits a beat or two} DO YOU HAVE ANY MONEY?" write your congress people and senators NOW: STOP THEM FROM HANDING OUR PORT SECURITY OVER TO A TERRORIST INFILTRATED GOVERNMENT
