Port Authority



The real problem with the sale of port oversight at six eastern U.S. ports to Dubai is not that Arabs will run U.S. Ports. The real problem is that the decision was made without President Bush's approval or even knowledge.

There are aspects of the sale that appear problematic, and that apparently constitute special treatment for the Dubai Ports World. So you would think that the President would want to be informed of the conditions of the sale, of for no other reason than to be able to say, "I was kept apprised of all developments and I personally approved the sale."

Instead the President was not in the loop.

This is another indication (among countless indications) that the Bush administration is incompetent and out of touch with the real world. When are the American people going to recognize that the United States of America is too big and too complex a nation to be led by a "good ol' boy"?
