“They’re American Ports”
That’s the title of Hillary’s op-ed for the NY Daily News. New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez co-authored the op-ed.
Wouldn’t it have been nice if the Co-President had given a damn about American ports when the Chinese were gaining access to American ports in the late 90’s? Wouldn’t it have been nice if they’d implemented policies that would’ve stopped those takeovers?
Think of this logic: We were told that SDI shouldn’t be funded because terrorists were more likely to smuggle a dirty bomb or biological weapon in than we were likely to see a missile attack. I don’t disagree with that. If that was true then, why would the Clintons turn control of major West Coast ports to the Chinese? Or did they just trust the Chinese to be honest and trustworthy?
One last thing: Did the Co-Presidents get involved in the review process then? In the final analysis, Hillary would have more credibility if she wasn’t involved in turning major ports to the Chinese.
Publisher’s note: What Hillary et al and the worthless media are (perhaps intentionally) failing to recognize: The ports are surely American, but they’ve been “managed” by foreigners for decades. It just so happens that the UAE are buying out a British company.

My favorite part of this debate is the rebuttal: “UAE aren’t buying the ports, they are leasing the terminals!”
Oh my. The claim that there is no possible way these UAE guys can affect the Coast Guard or Customs operations in any way is totally ridiculous. These are the guys who keep these huge databases of which containers are going where, and where the containers are.
More of these UAE supporters would gain some credibility if they would just admit they are on the take somehow. Really. Is there any argument pro-UAE other than there are some minor flaws in the anti-UAE argument? Actually, I am on the fence on this issue. The debate is retarded.

It isnÂ’t just our ports that are being bought up by the United Arab Emerits (UAE). There is also a Dubai based company that is set to take over plants in Georgia and Connecticut that make precision components used in engines for military aircraft and…

[...] It’s unfortunate. Even Jerry Lewis (not the comedian) is missing the point (Hillary’s talking point) about keeping “the ports in American hands.” [...]
