The fact that I am praising Chuckie proves that politics makes very strange bedfellows indeed!!!
The following are excerpts from an article from Fox found
Here
WASHINGTON — A company in the United Arab Emirates is poised to take over significant operations at six American ports as part of a corporate sale, leaving a country with ties to the Sept. 11 hijackers with influence over a maritime industry considered vulnerable to terrorism.
The Bush administration considers the UAE an important ally in the fight against terrorism since the suicide hijackings and is not objecting to Dubai Ports World's purchase of London-based Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Co.
Schumers quoted opposition to the sale below:
"America's busiest ports are vital to our economy and to the international economy, and that is why they remain top terrorist targets," Schumer said. "Just as we would not outsource military operations or law enforcement duties, we should be very careful before we outsource such sensitive homeland security duties."
Does anyone have a valid reason that we should NOT be on Chuckie's side on this one?? I can't think of any reason this sale should be allowed...
