Dubai? How About Russia?
Should a Dubai company run a set of ports in the US? Why not?
For everyone who is freaking out about how two of the hijackers on 9/11 were from the UAE, just remember the US is getting 15% of its imported oil from Saudi Arabia, home to all the other 9/11 hijackers. President Bush's daddy works for the Carlyle Group, which handles all the US assets of the Saudi royal family, which has links to ol' Osama Bin Laden.
Whoop-dee-frickin' doo. If the Dubai-ports thing is worth a conniption, then the Bush-Bin Laden thing is worth an impeachment. I think we can all agree on that. Sort of. OK, maybe not.
Still, this Dubai thing can't make the US any more or less secure, what with that whole Canadian border pretty wide open, with enough holes to drive an SUV with a nuclear weapon through. See Last Best Chance for more details. Fact is, Bush isn't doing Jack Squat about securing nuclear materials in Russia.
Holler all you want about Dubai, it's nothing compared to the desperate screaming that should be going on over Russian nuclear materials.
