President Bush on Tuesday strongly defended a deal that would let a United Arab Emirates-based company run six major U.S. seaports. Looks like our president is not only leading the way on outsourcing IT but he is also outsourcing our own damn seaports. What country is he working for again??? Can anyone say whimpy President Charles Logan Vs. puppet President Bush. Not much difference, is there?

The major concern is not that the company taking over those ports are Arab, but rather that it's rumored they're financially tied to terrorist organizations. That's one of the major concerns.

While I DO NOT agree with the way Bush handled this, there are a few things I would like to point out. #1: A BRITISH company has owned those ports up until this point and is being bought out by an Arab company. #2: Are opponents of this now saying that we should view ALL Arabs as terrorists? Just my 2 cents, again I'm not for this either.
