SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COMMonday, February 13, 2006
WASHINGTON — The Bush administration has approved a deal in which a United Arab Emirates company would operate six major ports in the United States.
A U.S. government panel has determined that the UAE firm, DP World, would not endanger national security. DP World, based in Dubai, has offered $6.8 billion for the purchase of a British firm that operates the ports of Baltimore, Miami, New York, New Jersey, New Orleans and Philadelphia, Middle East Newsline reported.

While Queenie's Daughter was nursing a very bad mal de tete, her Maman was on the look out for homegrown terrorists, and she's found one at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It is a well known fact that the Bush family worked tirelessly on the side of the Nazi's in WWII and now the Bush's are perpetuating the selling of America to forces unfriendly to the USA. Queenie's Daughter could write for hours about this topic and she could provide you with more chapters and verses than the Bible contains about the treacherous Bush family.
But Queenie's Daughter is an American who comes from a long line of American's who have fought to defend this once great nation and this news has spiraled her into a sadness as mute as it is profound. She is not shocked that there are traitors among us. She is not even shocked that one of the greatest betrayers of the US is the current commander in chief. But Queenie's Daughter is saddened into silence at the realization that the American people are willing to watch as this once great Republic is sold for mere pieces of Judas gold to those who would be her enemies.
Ignorance is the friend of evil and Americans, who seems to pride themselves on plain spoken ignorance, have become the Adolph Eichmann's of the new millenium.
Dear Ancestors hear our plea. Governor Sam Ward (the only colonial governor to refuse to enforce the stamp act), Lt. Col. Sam Ward (who waded hundred of frozen miles to fight courageously at the Battle of Quebec), Sam Ward of Prime, Ward and King (who secured a loan of a million dollars to prevent the failure of the NY banks), Julia Ward Howe (foremother, whose bravery saved countless Armenians from slaughter) - Dear Ancestors, please come to us in this dark hour and give us you strength, courage and hope. How can we be like you and defend this country from those who would sell us to her enemies and who would shoot their friends?
The horror. The horror.

Well now, QD, it's not exactly the Saudis - it's the United Arab Emirates. They themselves may be very nice, America-loving people, but they are friendly with people who might make you nervous. You were among the first to really jump all over this story and to treat it with proper outrage. The rest of the country (well, Congress) is finally noticing. The Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee is not sure this deal, as structured, is such a good idea. However, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff thinks it is just fine. Do you find that reassuring? Maybe I'm just nasty and cynical, but I wonder what New Orleans has ever done to Chertoff that he seems to need to take another stab at killing it.
Well said, I loved this post, and placed a link to it from my blog. I hope you don't mind. If you do, please ask and I will remove it.
Thanks
