UAE terminal takeover extends to 21 ports
That's right folks! As if 6 ports didn't make me mad enough, it turns out today we find out the Republicans were hiding more information from the American public about their turning over port security to a foreign power with links to terrorism. It's hilarious to me actually that we invaded Iraq, which had fewer 9/11 links on the excuse of the fact that we were attacking a "terrorist" stronghold, and yet by some magic we have a nation with legitimate links to terrorists, hiding terrorist bank accounts from us and helping get nuclear secrets to the Middle East, and the Republican party response is they are an "ally" in the war on terror and if we question the Republicans we are letting the terrorists "win". Folks the terrorists wanted us to live in fear and sacrifice our way of life to destroy us. They have already won for as long as the Republican mindset is allowed to be the only voice heard in this country. To add insult to injury on an additional front, guess what port terminal operators get access to so they can work "better" with HomeLand Security...come on folks guess! They get access to the Coast Guards emergency terrorism response plans for the ports that they are running. That's right...they get to know where our emergency response folks are going to gather to deal with a terrorist attack. Communications frequencies and the like are probably included. I don't know how big the Republican kickback is for selling out our country so they can get more control over our country, but they are selling us down the river without even a second thought. And I know Tom will tell me that all Republicans aren't for this in Congress. They just haven't gotten their kickback yet is the only reason they aren't happy about it. Soon as their buddy Dole shows up handing out checks they will be all sorts of "convinced" that it's great idea to sell out America. I went on to the P&O site and checked it out...sure enough they have 21 ports listed and Norfolk sticks out immediately as a matter of the gravest concern, but that's just me because one of our major Navy shipyards is there and they may not be running it but that's way too close for comfort.
