oportunism for what? ]/quote]
Politicians seized the issue, and misrepresented it order to gain political benefit from it. Democrats used it to attack the President and to look "strong on defense." Republicans responded defensively. But it had nothing honest to do with security.
Ports should be managed by our own, who will watch over them watching our ports? think of what i'm saying as a casino if you will, all ways some one watching some one from pit boss to the janitor.
See, you can't overly simplify these issues like that. Ideally, we would have domestic companies in all these positions. But we don't. And Dubai wouldn't have been the only port under foreign supervision. Why did the outrage end after that? And why didn't we hear the same outrage when the British or Chinese controled ports?
ALEX JONES FAN HA! I never heard of the guy till i saw the clips.
Good. He's a friggin' nut.
In short i'm just worried about if the people put in place to watch our ports were forigners who would be watching over them cuz if it's anything like way the goverment says the watch over other parts of goverment were gonna be in deep DOODOO
We're sort of way off topic here, but the Dubai company would have had a very strong self-interest in following security protocal and protecting their investment. And frankly, since it's a ruling family, they would have had the ability to do things within the company and to their employees that would be illegal in the U.S. Seeing as how they were providing the U.S. with intelligence, that would have been an advantage.
But- none of that was discussed. Hillary wanted to to look strong on security, so there was no honest or informed debate.
Nothing to do with that riduculous propoganda film you posted however.
