Bush: liquidate everything, including National Security

Bush has been hell-bent to liquidate everything in America since he got (s)elected. Our environment, our natural resources, our public schools, everything under the sun is to be converted into cash quickly. And now, that list even includes America's national security.

The Dubai port deal is, in the immediate, about money. The Bush family is directly tied to the Carlyle group (vastly wealthy international business), to whom the UAE is a major investor. So when the UAE wants to buy control of our ports, Bush is going to make it happen (one way or another). And why not? Directly or indirectly it puts cash into the Bush family coffers (by encouraging more UAE investments).

Critics of Micheal Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 now need to rethink Moore's allegation that when Bush goes to sleep at night he's more concerned about wealthy Arabs than Americans' security. This port deal proves Moore right.

This deal does nothing to improve national security and does everything to compromise it. There's no way to rationalize that a foreign government with terrorist ties should control our ports.
