35. Carter is right, Clinton is right. |

This is not about national security, but about nativism and raw fear and scoring political points. It's a shame to see DU playing this game that plays into the hands of fear-mongers and racists, but it looks like we have more than our share of these people.
Can anyone cite a problem with Dubai Port World's operations anywhere?
Can anyone show an actual link between Al Qaeda and DPW (beyond "I googled UAE and terrorism and got XXX hits!")?
Can anyone tell me how the government of the UAE aids and abets terrorism?
Can anyone tell me how long the US has been contracting out port operations to foreign companies?
Can anyone tell me how many nukes or WMDs have been discovered entering our ports?
Can anyone tell me who is actually in charge of security--not operations--at our ports?
