Lahanton News: "What on earth is Bush thinking?' re: port outsourcing

[Bluebear]

...It’s unbelievable that the White House is standing by the decision of the secretary, but it has only been a few days since the revelation. Speculation is that George W. Bush, as loyal to his cronies as any president in recent history, will cave to pressure from an outraged Congress and rescind the deal.

Dubai is a Muslim country that refuses to recognize Israel and recognized the Taliban as the government in Afghanistan. At the same time we are at war with the terrorists, we are outsourcing the security of some of our most important ports to a country that aligned itself with the Taliban.

What are earth could this administration be thinking? Even Mike Brown, the former head of FEMA, would not have made that decision. Well, maybe he would in the case of the Port of New Orleans. I don’t think Brownie cares for the folks down there.

What is our government doing allowing the outsourcing of jobs in the first place, when they are in a position to easily prevent it? Please don’t tell me that there are no Americans willing to take jobs controlling our ports....

speaking out on it.

2. Could it be another..gasp...Harriet Miers / Schaivo choice?

Outsourced cronyism for sure.

3. It's perfect. The Administration creates terrorism and scapegoats those

that own the ports.

4. Bush thinks???
