With all the hubub over how great it is that the UAE is buying management of American ports, and how little concern there is that these same ports manage military materiel, how long will it be before foreign governments start managing parts of our military? Perhaps Iran can help us manage our military activities in Iraq, since it would be racist to prevent them from obtaining a US government contract to order our military around. The Saudis can have the contract to build barracks and feed soldiers. The Syrians can bid on rebuilding all that equipment the Iraqis have blown to h*ll with their IEDs. Since it's racist to object to any of these deals, let's just shove them through Congress and to h*ll with what the American people think.

After all, it's only the lives of American soldiers that would be a risk - and who cares about them, right?
