UAE Pulls the Plug on Port Lease

The port deal is finished. The United Arab Emirates organization pulled the plug today. They decided that it was not in their best interests to pursue this any further, and rightly so.

The Democrats and Republicans made fools out of themselves fighting one-another over who would get to take credit for defeating the UAE bid to purchase, lease, the rights for control of the container traffic at 6 of our ports of entry.

The question wasn't about control of the port security, that has always been under our control, or so it seems. The Democrats wanted to make sure they were the ones to be first in line, demanding that this deal not go through as it was a matter of national security. They wanted to show how security consciences they are. What a laugh! Everyone knows that's a lot of bull, and any amount of arm waving and ranting won't change that.

What this deal was about for the UAE was business. They manage ports all over the world. From what I can see, they are good at what they do. It would have been in our best interests to have them working with us over here, not fighting us over there.

For the United States, this is all about politics. There is an elections coming up so the Republicans saw the hand writing on the wall as polls supposedly showed 80% of Americans were against this. Their politicians, after all, so it's all about them and their reelection, screw the country.

The general public was reacting falsely to a perceived idea that the UAE was just another middle eastern terrorist nation. In reality, it is not, and has a history of siding with us on many issues involving the war on terror. Now, I don't know what the future relation will be between the Emirates and the United States. What a slap in the face for them.

The future for the Democrats is going to be more difficult as their high profile on identifying the UAE as an enemy will not sit well with the puppet masters agenda. The liberal agenda has always stated we do not have an enemy, the war on terror was all about oil, and George Bush lied.

Now that they have identified an enemy of America, their stand on the war will have to take a different tack. What will they say now about our middle eastern brothers and sisters?

Also they have profiled a certain type of person, as well as an entire nation, as being untrustworthy. The middle eastern individual will now have a much harder time entering the country or getting on an airplane without being searched, right? The Democrats will insist on new and tighter security against this new enemy of the state. Right? Hmmmmm

It sure looks bad for former President Clinton to as he was trying to broker a deal to get the UAE leases on the side. And what's this about Madeline Albright, former secretary of state, going along for the ride and some extra cash?

Clinton, while in the middle east, gave speeches at 300,000 dollars a pop. If there is a buck to be turned, this hound dog will get the biggest bite out of the pie, and this is why he saw an opportunity to make some real money by brokering the Dubi port lease. He's not licensed to do this, but what's wrong with bending the law a little, he did it for 8 years when he was president, so why not a little more now?

At the same time, when he was in the United States, he said the port deal was a bad thing and a risk to national security. Bubba can turn on a dime and give you nine cents change. But hey - relax, he's a Democrat, so it okay. We expect them to be criminals and we are never disappointed.
