Controlling the ports controls this nation. WAKE UP AMERICA.

[shance]

Can you say New Orleans?

Can you say Gulf of Tonkin and starving a nation?

Can you say 9/11?

Wake up America and identify the real terrorists.

1. I agree

seems to me like bush is moving in for the kill.
Finish off the nation while he's still in office.

2. Wrote my reps about this one today

It absolutely BLOWS MY MIND that this would even be considered.

Sounds like a "pre-9/11 mindset" to me.

And why the fuck is this being outsourced to ANY other country, let alone a middle eastern country?!

3. Why do you hate Amerikkka?

If you are not supporting the troops
you are supporting the enemies!
Oh, wait...that's right the enemies are protecting
our ports!
What time is AmeriKKKan Idol on tonight?

4. Honey, it seems our ports have been in foreign hands for years.

The British had the contract. THEY are not US. ANY foreign entity controlling American ports is an absolute outrage.

When did we cease to be a sovereign nation?

5. Don't Understand Why There Does Not Seem To Be More Interest

in this. Not much in the media and even on this board not much interest. There was a post the other day on here about this and did'nt generate any interest. Of course everyone was excited about the VP's hunting trip.

Lawmakers asked the White House to reconsider its earlier approval of the deal.
