I may be crazy but…
this seems a bit more important than if Dead-Eye Dick had whipped out a .45 and plugged David Gregory square between the eyes.
...not that that scenario wouldn’t make some smile....
Some of the country’s busiest ports—New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, [New Orleans, Miami and Philadelphia]—are about to become the property of the United Arab Emirates. Do we really want our major ports in the hands of an Arab country where al Qaeda recruits, travels and wires money?
The U.S. Committee on Foreign Investment, a Treasury Department-dominated group which reviews foreign investments, allows such purchases. The committee approved a $6.8 billion transaction between the ports’ current British owners and Dubai Ports World, a government-owned United Arab Emirates firm. The United Arab Emirates was home to Marwan al-Shehhi, a September 11 hijacker; the country is a transit point for al Qaeda, including several other September 11 hijackers; al Qaeda’s financing activities have involved the UAE; al Qaeda finds sympathizers there with ease, as it does in other Arab countries.
What I find almost as discomfiting is that the Committee on Foreign Investment has put me in a position to agree with Chucky Schumer *ptui*.
