Where the heck were you when Dem. President Jimmy Carter gave away the most strategic port in our hemisphere, the Panama Canal Zone?!

sell port secure practices ? The Coast shield is in charge for port secure practices. i ask your self why you probably did no longer point out, that Clinton offered the port administration to a British employer, That the Dubai employer grew to become into paying for the british owned employer. The query grew to become into, might the U. S. enable the administration contract stand, with new vendors. yet of direction, you are able to't anticipate all of the information from any such partisan political quaetion.

Nobody was trying to sell our ports. Many are operated by foreign companies. The controversy was about a company in UAE running some. I'm opposed to that because UAE was 1 of 3 countries who had diplomatic relations with the Taliban.

It was all a bunch of hoop-la.
Foreigners still control most everything going in & out.
Remember when Clinton turned everything in CA over to the Chinese?
It was all hooey.
Organized Crime still controlls the ports. The Crime Syndicate controlls the Longshoreman Unions.
Maybe Organized Crime and Foreigners will do a good job.
Maybe Not!!!!!
Who knows????

They were outsourcing the management of the ports....
Basically, the UAE is wanting to become a major trading HUB in the Middle East, which currently doesn't really have a trading hub... What I mean is that there is no clearly dominate country / area.
Very modern culture. I don't agree with everything about it, but I doubt it would have been a problem.

Well, I certainly disagreed with Bush on this one, but they weren't trying to "sell" our ports. They were allocating the running of the ports. They would still be ours, just administrated by someone else. I agree with TK421 that it "probably" wouldn't have been a problem. Still, it was a bad idea in a time of war.

Because this current failed govt. is lazy and just doesnt give a damn.
They say they are making us safer but all signs point to the contrary. That non partisan national security council (CIA,FBI, Secret Service ect ect) says that our current policys are making things worse. There are 4000 less cops in NYC today then there were on 9/11

George W Bush with his unwise policies have made most of the nations enemies of U.S., very few are friends and made the U.S. and its citizens, most Unsecured, which is to be rectified / repair.
Do not spread rumours that Republicans are selling Ports.
It is Crime.
