45 Day wait to approve port deal
Dubai Ports World asked the United States to conduct the review to allay concerns about handing over terminal management in six major ports to a firm owned by the government of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. This is a face saving move by Bush to quiet dissenters and push this through 45 days from now. Bill Frist has already done a u-turn and now feels "pretty good" about the deal and any security concerns he once had.
This is a maneuver that will only remove this problem from the minds of the average American. Most Americans will forget this issue by then because we will be distracted by some other bogus news story in about 30 days, that will occupy our front pages and the corporate news channels. Then they will sneak this sale though and get what they want all along.
The deal is really going to effect the control of 21 ports, not six. Dubai Ports World will gain access to the security procedures of the operations of the ports. They have harbored and aided terrorists. 9/11 terrorists flew directly from UAE to the U.S. They funded the 9/11 hijackers and provided a safe haven for them. Weeks ago the Coast Guard raised concerns over this deal but the administration ignored them. Just like they did with all the warnings before 9/11.
Treasury Secretary John Snow stands to make a 33 million dollar profit when this deal is approved. Mr. Snow has stock options in the British company that is selling control to the UAE and these options will be vested when the deal goes through. One major reason nobody is having a problem with this deal. This deal is taking care of Bush cronies like the UAE and Mr. Snow.
This deal will have major ramifications on our national security. Like every other decision this administration has made it will make Americans less safe than they were before they took office.
