Port Problems: Bush, DPW Offer "Delay"

Dubya and DPW have offered to delay the DPW takeover of the UK company currently managing major US Port facilities in order to assure Congress that there are no threats to National Security by letting a state-owned company from a nation that produced two 9/11 hijackers (and who's Royal Family has/had direct ties to Osama bin Laden) take control of major gateways into the US. Um, yeah. (Link)

OK, so it might be a racist statement, but facts are facts: The terrorist threat is coming from Arabs. Granted, a crazy fringe group of Arabs, but Arabs all the same. DPW is owned by a very rich Arab family. These ports are major entry points into the United States. And you're trying to convince us that Arab terrorists couldn't weasel their way into this company, gain access to these ports, and launch an attack on US soil? You're trying to tell us there's no chance of this? Um, how about yes, there is a chance! If there's one thing terrorists aren't, it's stupid. They were smart enough to hit us where it hurts on 9/11, and they can do it again.

Doesn't help that we're no safer today than we were on 9/10/2001. Homeland Security has failed. The "War On Terror" has failed (speaking of which, how exactly do you go to war with a human emotion? Shouldn't it be the war on "terrorism?"). The War in Iraq has proven to be the biggest tactical mistake in US Military history since Vietnam. And now, our Government wants to grant port access to a company from an Arab nation with direct ties t al Qaeda?

Don't you people see a problem here?

One more thing: This article states that there are five ports in question. The media have been reporting that there are, in fact, six (the article excludes New York City). Rumors are also popping up on the net that the number is much higher, in the range of 20-some-odd ports in all that we're not being told about. Somthing isn't right here...
