If you haven’t heard yet, you will soon learn that the Bush Administration is giving management control of 6 of the US’s busiest ports to a United Arab Emirates (UAE) company.

The administration claims that we are not giving security control which is true, but there will be national security concerns if this deal goes though that many feel the administration is not taking into consideration.

First, the UAE recognized the Taliban. Second many of the reasons America is against Iran politically exist within the UAE. The Administration swears that we shouldn’t treat one country such as the UAE different than an ally such as the UK.

Bush says that a special committee has reviewed this transaction and unanimously gave the green light. Donald Rumsfeld which is part of this special committee knew nothing about the port deal days after it was supposedly voted on.

Now the story is being spun that Bush knew nothing about it. If he didn’t, then where did this deal come from? Who owns it?
