Our elected government, in its "in"finite anti-terrorism wisdom, is seriously set on course to allow a state-owned corporation based out of the United Arab Emirates to operate some of our most strategically important ports. In related news, the Roman Government, it has been recently discovered, outsourced the management of its city defenses to the Huns citing budgetary problems...

And what was the most outrage that the Senate could muster over this outrageous move that borders on outright treason? It's "politically tone-deaf." Thank you, Senator Graham, for your scathing rebuttal to the Bush Administration whose last election was won on anti-terrorism grounds.

So, I'm wondering. What happens when the security switches over to a bunch of jihadis at these ports and they start bringing weapons over to our country? Oh, I'm sure that the Bush supporters will find every reason to say that Kerry would have been worse. Excuse me, but bullshit. Like Hell Kerry would have been any worse at this point. But hey, if you want to stick to your fantasy world where Bush has done everything he reasonably can to keep us safe, that's your right. One of the freedoms in the penumbra of the ninth amendment is the freedom to maintain dual citizenship in lala land.

And now, for some final words on this subject, the Islamic world is once again host to rioting. If the Jewish people responded with violence to the cartoons that are routinely published about them in Islamic news outlets, there would be several entire Islamic countries nuked off the face of the Earth. The stuff that gets published there is at least one solid order of magnitude far more vitriolic in its denigration of Judaism than anything that was published in that Danish rag.

So let's see, to sum it all up. We are in the midst of an explosion of Islamic violence around the world that could fuel several 9-11 or higher levels of attacks, but we are allowing a Middle Eastern company, owned by an Islamic country's government, to operate our port security. This at a time when Muslims in most of the Islamic world are rioting with a fury that we have not see in a long time. The rioting has gone just about global, but hey... it's business as usual. No good reason to increase those terrorism threat levels, shut down the border, end the visas for six months to a year and nationalize control of the ports!

1. Lebanon
2. Iran
3. Phillipines
4. Pakistan
5. Libya
6. Somalia
7. Bengladesh
8. Syria
9. Indonesia

Just some of the few countries where rioting has taken place. There could be even more, but I am too lazy to really look up all of the possible places. This is not an isolated thing. This is increasingly becoming a global problem and if Bush won't change course and admit that he's dead damn wrong here, then he needs to be impeached, followed by a serious look by Congress whether the entire administration shouldn't be purged by impeachment and new elections called. The stakes are too high for politics and failure to do right. For them to not be taking this seriously is a fundamental failure on their part and one that they should lose their jobs for.
