Should the Bush Administration have approved the sale of 6 U.S. port to Arabs?

ptsdkid said "I am surprised that so many Republicans have followed suit with the liberals in their opposition.

Liberals will once again be put into the position of being two-faced here. Liberals have always accused Republicans of unnecessary profiling of Arab looking people at airports etc. Liberal opposition to this sale makes them look like they're discriminating against the Arab nations."

You said it all kid. I am surprised that the Democrats are against the sale. As you said they are two faced and you hit the nail on the head. They are discriminating against Muslims.

I agree with most of your post....... I am not for the sale and Bush needs his head examined if in fact he ok’d this, but then he thought after 9-11 Islam was a religion of peace didnt we?

……………But those who said we had no right to do anything to Iraq………how do they justify saying we can’t sell the ports?



And had Clinton been President at the time of 9-11 what would he have done? He did nothing to stop terrorism before 9-11……..what makes you think any Democrat would have done anything. Hell Sadam would still be roaming around if some Democrat had been president at the time. The threats of terrorism did not start with 9-11.
By 1999 there were serious threats to the country in terms of Islamic terrorism.
Clinton even admitted it. Yet while this was going on, while we were beginning to get threats from bin laden, Clinton was pardoning terrorists who had killed New York cops. He also freed radical Puerto Rican terrorists responsible for humdreds of bombings on American Soil. Clintons approach to terrorism was horrendous. Carter did the same thing. Both these presidents were incompetent. Sudan offered Bin Laden on a silver platter back in 1996 but Clinton and Gore let him slip away. Had they gotten him then maybe 9-11 might never have happened, the bombing of our American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania might never have happened and the bombing of the USS Cole might never have happened.

President Bush,the National Security President.The Man who was going to protect you from the Boogey Man. Has not secured our southern border yet ,after almost 5 years and its still a sive.Who knows who is crossing into the USA. Than he invades Iraq and doesn't secure its borders. Keep in mind that Iraq and the border were choices.
