He may be right, considering who has been running it.

Absolutely - I mean it's been proven with total certainty that every Arab
is an uncivilized, bloodthirsty mongrel hellbent on turning the US into a
3,000-mile-wide Circle-K.

Not security, operations.

Maybe they want to expand their operations, if you know what I mean.

Since the NSA (theoretically) only monitors phonecalls to naughty countries,
I wonder if bad guys already here (like in Florida or New Jersey) could make
private calls to offices in Baltimore, once their pals are set up as port
managers.

Do you not think there may be some bad guys there right now? We don't have
a rule prohibiting Muslims from being supervisors at our ports.

I'm sure there are. But, I see no reason to make their job easier. The UAE
is theoretically a country that's friendly to us, at least according to the
CIA's web site. But, the CIA's got an exquisite knack for misunderstanding
the world, so I really question the idea of turning over ownership of
anything important to a Muslim country, especially when said country could
probably be OBL's next target.

is an uncivilized, bloodthirsty mongrel hellbent on turning the US into a
3,000-mile-wide Circle-K. In fact, the reason why Casey Kasem lost the
American Top 40 gig is that it was discovered that every time he says,
"Long Distance Dedication", when you play it backwards, he's actually
saying "Bomb the infidels - praise be to Allah". Also if you look at the
wrinkles in F. Murray Abraham's makeup in the last scene of "Amadeus", you
can make out the words "Death to America" as well as see a map of the
Middle East without an Israel.

You just don't get it, do you?

Where did 'ownership' come into the picture?
