Lobbyists and security
It’s nice to know that the Republicans and their lobbyists feel that the security of the United States is secondary to the money they can receive. The evidence shows that it is the Republican Party and their loyalists that are willing to let potential security risks take over operations that can provide open doors to terrorists.
Homeland Security reports that our ports are a porous sieve allowing anything or anyone into the country through our ports. It is five years since 9/11 and the Bush administration has fallen down on protecting the US. Why does anyone think the Republican Party and it's titular leader King George can solve the security problem.
Remember, its the same committees that reviewed the DP World's control of US port issue, that identified weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and let us to the debacle in Iraq that is costing us untold lives and treasure.
Should we worry about foreign investment being at risk as some experts claim? No, if it's an attractive business proposition, the foreign money will still be willing to purchase American businesses. Profit and return on investment guide business decisions. The concern about foreign investment is a smoke screen to deflect opposition to handing over potential security to a country that had a hand in supporting terrorism. Since the Emirates are a kingdom and vulnerable to being overthrown by the same mid east forces that are operating in Iraq and Iran why aren't we concerned?
Let us rid the country of inept, corrupt, and money hungry politicians. Let us start by impeaching King George.
From stardust we came and to stardust we will return.
