Ports...once more

Dave Johnson makes the entire point:

I want to make a comment on the "UAE port deal" controversy. We invaded Iraq based on less evidence of al Queda and other terrorist ties than there is of UAE ties. Yet, the Bush crowd insists that we have nothing to worry about from handing control of our ports over to the UAE.

...


That's what it's all about, ladies and germs. The Chimp can't have it both ways. What was it? "You're with us or against us." Even if the UAE were harmless, which they're not, this deal shouldn't go through because they certainly haven't proved they are 'with us'. Just because they let us dock our ships in Dubai, doesn't mean we have to throw them this bone. Like Gord says: If they "...wants to open a chain of Al Qonvenience stores, that's one thing. Fine. Let 'em..." But by golly, don't give 'em the keys to the front door.
