3. It was a Bush apologist on CNN.

5. Too bad we didn't sell the Trade Center to the Arabs before 9/11....

6. The pretend debate about not giving an Arab company ...

... the same benefit we gave a UK company isn't the question.

The question is: Why should ANY nation, other than our own, be in contol of US ports?

Control of the ports represents a multi-million dollar profit to the company that gets the gig.

So is this yet ANOTHER one of those jobs that 'Americans just don't want to do'?
