What specific politicians are behind the UAE control of US ports?

[Nikki Stone 1]

Is it just Junior? It is people in Congress? Everyone agrees this is a bad idea but it seems bound to go through.

1. Liebermann thinks it's a great idea!

:eyes: :puke:

[Hubert Flottz]

2. Judas walks among us again!

I hope his 30 pieces of silver makes him happy...He's mad because the democrats wouldn't vote for him in 2004 and he means to get even.

3. He doesn't even pretend even more. nt

5. Liebermann

who is a jew thinks it is great that a government that supports the destruction of israel thru second and third parties
should have control over the ports of the "great satan"? he`s not right in the head, is he?

[Hubert Flottz]

7. He is a fool!

That's about all I can say! He's turning into a republican capo!

17. Thanks

As a Coast Guard veteran who worked professionally in "Port Security" - I am appalled.

This is a United States Coast Guard PORT SECURITY OFFICER badge - like the one I earned - and wore in the former Port of New Orleans, LA.

21. As the wife of a retired Coastie, I share your pain. nt

[muriel_volestrangler]

23. You shouldn't cancel your tickets because of that - separate company

P&O's cruise division was demerged from the mother company in 2000 and is now named P&O Princess Cruises. In 2003, Princess was acquired by Carnival Corporation and will be operated as a separate brand within Carnival.

Having said that, a polar cruise does look attractive ...

We are no longer any kind of democracy.

15. Politicians and corporatists. Follow the money. Who stands

to make huge dollars from this. Who specifically in the Repug Party stands to make huge gains. There is huge money involved here as well as being low down. Expect to find Repuglicans huddled up some where close.

18. an interesting corellation?

John Snow-secretary of the treasury-former CEO of CSX Corp(which was a huge Bush contributor)
http://www.usatoday.com/money/economy/2002-12-08-treasury_x.htm
DP World bought CSX terminal units for 1.15 billion dollars cash
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/6685601/

"And the new treasury secretary, what a record we have here! John Snow, chairman of a champion corporate tax-dodger. According to Citizens for Tax Justice, Snow's company, CSX Corp., a railroad, paid no federal income tax at all in three of the past four years. Instead of paying taxes, CSX supplemented its over $1 billion in pretax profits (Los Angeles Times) over the four years with a total of $164 million in tax rebate checks from the federal government. Just the guy we need at Treasury -- makes a profit, pays no taxes and gets tax rebates on the taxes he didn't pay. During the same period, CSX gave Snow $36 million in salary, bonuses, stock and options, and forgave a $24 million loan so he would not lose money along with other shareholders as the company's stock price declined. Lends a whole new meaning to 'Snow job.'

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

20. Lieberman isn't behind it, was all decided behind closed doors surprise!

Surprise, surprise. Secrecy in this administration???

:sarcasm:

Lieberman and Snow will be asking for information regarding how the decision was made, according to what he said on This Week.

Snow is the chair, Joe the ranking member of the Homeland Security Senate Committee.

22. Carlisle Group?

This sounds like something Poppy's crowd might be involved in.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

24. This ridiculous bit of fearmongering is about $$$$ not securtiy.

"The committee action followed concerns expressed by a Miami-based company, Eller & Co., according to Eller's lawyer, Michael Kreitzer. Eller is a business partner with the British shipping giant but was not in the running to buy the ports company."
