The Arab Port Deal

Some things just leave you staring with your mouth open. The Bush administration has approved a deal that would give the responsibility for port operations in the U.S. to an Arab company?

There comes a time when the degree of incompetence flies past ludicrous and majestically wings its way toward LEGENDARY! Dubyah and his gang that can’t shoot straight have managed that questionable feat.

Let’s recap shall we? First and foremost, let’s not forget that September 11, 2001 happened on this President’s watch.

Then we have the inability to catch Bin Ladin or even keep track of his general location.

Let’s move on to the fiasco with the WMD that didn’t exist in Iraq, the insurgency quagmire that excursion has led to and, despite the billions and billions being made by corporations, shall we say, “friendly” to the administration, the criminal lack of proper equipment and armor for the troops on the ground. Of course this is not to mention the $9 billion or so that is unaccounted for in Iraq!

This is the President that refused to meet with the mother of a dead soldier camping alongside his farm. What was the problem Dubyah? Could it possibly have been that you couldn’t justify to Sandy Sheehan why we were at war? But you made it up to her when she got booted out of the State the Union address for wearing an anti-war T-shirt didn't you?

Then let’s move on to the lack of response to Katrina followed by a Key Stone Cops worthy late performance which included the mismanagement of more billions of dollars, but again, more than a few administration friendly companies experiencing a windfall that had their stock holders dancing in the rubble.

This is an administration that has a disdain for science. It denies the effect of human endeavors on global warming despite warnings from thousands of scientists. Not only does it ignore the warnings, it actually has the nerve to try and muzzle those that disagree with its faith based and big business friendly “scientific conclusions.” And that’s not to mention that the fearless leader of the crew, Dum-dum Dubyah, thinks Intelligent Design should be taught alongside evolution!

This is an administration that actually had the unmitigated gall to put a candidate forward for a seat on the Supreme Court based primarily upon her religious affiliation and admiration for the biggest disgrace ever to sully the oval office.

Now shall we move on to the fact that this is an administration that believes its ok to listen in on the conversations of American citizens with unauthorized wiretaps, has authorized the torture of prisoners and doesn’t have a problem with its candidate for Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales, LYING to the Senate during his confirmation hearings.

And last, but not anywhere near least, this is an administration that holds “by invitation only” public sessions from which any dissenting positions are barred.

And that’s only the serious stuff. If we get into the silly crap the situation begins to take on a resemblance to a Three Stooges feature film. If I was going to get into this stuff I would start with ex-Attorney General John Ashcroft draping the bare breasted statue of Justice and end with Dick Cheney shooting his hunting partner! Yeah Dick, we believe there was no booze involved in the incident, of course we do.

Now they want to turn over the administration of U.S. ports to an Arab company from the UAE? You have got to be kidding me? Stereotyping be damned, this is just plain stupid and asking for trouble. How could anybody have voted for this pack of jackasses? Oh yeah, that’s right, they defend “moral values.” When what two adult males (or adult females) do to each other in their own bedrooms becomes more of an election issue than the safety of our children, the lives of our soldiers and the future of the planet, something is seriously wrong in this country.
