It is time to stop this practice. I found a petition that ask congress to ban foreign companies from managing any of the operations at our ports.

I think the 45 day period is going to reveal a lot of things that... that um... I'm sorry there was something on TV about a celebrity wedding. What were we talking about?

This should not be a liberal/conservative or partisan issue. Many of us have family living near ports. Our marine ports are easier targets than airports. Its a miralce we have not had a problem yet. I hope we never do. We should question every administration on this including future ones no matter what party. I really don't think those in government understand the danger.

I couldn't agree more about the Coast Guard. The more I read, the more worrisome it becomes. Thanks for your service in the Coast Guard as well. Dem Soldier, I think it is a security issue and everyone (liberals and conservatives) should be questioning why the administration has been ignoring the ports for so long. I agree, though, that this shouldn't be a Arabs vs. US thing. Sadly, though, that's how people seem to be trying to spin it. Dwayne, Thanks for visiting. I couldn’t agree more about the Coast Guard.

BushCo has to have some money on this.....Snow, and others are involved....We need to get the bottom of this. Liberals should avoid making this as a security issue, and Arabs Vs US. The fact is that, this has nothing to do with security. James……

This port deal is a tough one. I am open to the world community but I do think that on this one we should grow the Coast Guard substantially and do our own security work. I was in the Coast Guard and personally boarded hundreds of ships. This is a very very dangerous situation. Not the UAE but keeping the ports secure period. PS We are dog lovers too. My lab is at my feet now. You have a very nice blog. Dwayne James
