I agree that the arab people have no track record of decency and honor
I wouldn't agree with that as a general statement; I can remember a job when I trusted my Arab hosts more than my American management. The Arabs were playing with a full deck and just wanted to get the job done; the American management had ulterior motives.

But otherwise, yeah. The UAE have at least 911 connections. This port deal is a beautiful opportunity for al Qaeda infiltrators to learn the ins and outs of American port management and then use that knowledge on us. I'm amazed so few people see that.

Trust, my ***. Trust is earned, not given. They haven't earned it.

Vandelay and JLA also agree with this POV. All these Bush haters just itching to nail him.

Everybody makes mistakes. This is one of Bush's.

Any company that handles our ports also gets the blueprints to the whole shebang.
Nuff said.
