The Ports

No matter what side you come down on regarding this issue it definitely has been mis-handled. Dunno any other way to describe the situation.

Trying to remain consistent, I was against it when President Carter gave away the Panama Canal - The Chinese now control entry and exit of that situation. I was against it when President Clinton allowed the Chinese to take over the Long Beach port. I am against the UAE taking over the current six ports in question. But... a few other things to consider.
1) The issue is NOT security and for the politicians to talk only about that is absurd
2) NO american company bid on taking over the ports from the british.
3) Ummm, we just had several arrested in Ohio for umm, collaborating with terrorists
4) Britain has had many terrorists originate from their country.

I can understand 'people' being upset with an Arabic country taking over anything in this country, but I suspect the little people like us would be stunned if they only knew just who owned what all across the land. And the fact that Joe Q Public is being led to believe we are turning over the security to the Emerates is criminal. The media once again is not doing their job, "nor" I might add is the administration.
