Help Keep Our Country Secure By Keeping Control Of Our Ports

America has put themselves in a position to allow management of major east coast ports to an Arabic company that is owned ultimately by the United Arab Emirates.Though the Emirs have been a public ally with America suspicious money has been funnelled via their banks to Islamofascists. Another point of concern is that the UAE recognized the Taliban of as the legitimate government of Afghanistan after the 911 strike on American soil. There are simply too many "what ifs" to allow Arab management of American ports. For more in depth elucidation on this subject go to my brother website Slantright.com .

I am going to post a petition plea from the American Family Association Online. I received it via email. There will be links to take you to an online petition.

Help Keep Our Country Secure By Keeping Control Of Our Ports

Normally we don't ask you to participate in issues such as this, but we feel that this one justifies your involvement.

Our port operations in New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, New Orleans, Miami and Philadelphia have been, or soon will be, purchased by Dubai Ports World, a state-owned company in the United Arab Emirates, a firm that manages port facilities. The purchase was cleared by an obscure federal panel, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, with little fanfare.

The United Arab Emirates government is generally pro-U.S., but the September 11 hijackers traveled easily through the country, and Al Qaeda-linked groups have used its banking system. Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma is pleading with the administration to reverse the decision. At a press conference outlining his opposition, he said, "Handing the keys to U.S. strategic ports to a regime that recognized the Taliban is not a sound next step in our war against terror."

Several Senators and Representatives are calling for hearings into the matter. This is a matter which deserves a full and complete hearing. Ask President Bush to override the agreement and conduct a special investigation into the matter.
