The United States port is part of the United States of America.  Any 
sale that makes it part of a foreign nation is treason, espionage, 
rebellion, sabotage, illegal, sedition, immoral, dishonorable, and a 
betrayal of the United States of America.

Quote: "We've got to protect ourselves by doing smart things in 
America," - George Bush

------- "Smart" for Who? -----

Quote: "WASHINGTON (Feb. 19) - A company at the Port of Miami has sued 
to block the takeover of shipping operations there by a state-owned 
business in the United Arab Emirates. It is the first American courtroom 
effort to capsize a $6.8 billion sale already embroiled in a national 
debate over security risks at six major US ports affected by the deal. 
The Port of Miami is among the nation's busiest. It is a hub for the 
nation's cruise ships, which carry more than 6 million passengers a 
year, and the seaport services more than 30 ocean carriers, which 
delivered more than 1 million cargo containers there last year. The 
sale, already approved by the Bush administration, has drawn escalating 
criticism by lawmakers in Washington who maintain the United Arab 
Emirates is not consistent in its support of US terrorism-fighting 
efforts. The Bush administration in recent days has defended its 
approval of the sale, and has resisted demands by Congress to 
reconsider. "We've got to protect ourselves by doing smart things in 
America," Bush said. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack described 
the United Arab Emirates on Friday as a "long-standing friend and ally" 
and said the United States and UAE had a good relationship." end of quote

Bu$h seems to have forgotten that a few 'close friends and allies' of 
the Bu$h family - the bin Laden Family - financed from within the UAE - 
flew a few airplanes into some buildings. And now Bu$h authorizes 
strategic US ocean port operations to be sold by Tony Blair's 'close 
friends and allies' to the same people. Amazing.

So the Bush Administration has turned over the operations of six 
critical US marine ports - the New York City Passenger Ship Terminal in 
Manhattan, Port Authority terminals in Newark, New Jersey, and marine 
cargo terminals in four other major port cities: Philadelphia, 
Baltimore, Miami and New Orleans,

Bu$h has handed them to DP World ( 
<http://messageboards.aol.com/aol/en_us/%3Ca%20href=>http://www.dpiterminals.com/) 
a company owned by the United Arab Emirates. DP World was formed by the 
merger of Dubai Ports Authority ("DPA") and DPI Terminals ("DPI") in 
September 2005. DP World is a leading port operator with operations in 
Asia, Australia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. The company 
already has 22 container terminals in 15 countries. Countries include: 
Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Germany, Romania, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, 
Djibouti, U.A.E., India, China, Malaysia, South Korea and Australia.

The deal to sell the US port operations to DP World was approved earlier 
this week by the Bush Administration and a secretive US Government 
interagency panel known as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the 
United States (CFIUS). The Bush Administration approval was given 
despite the UAE's history as an operational and financial base for the 
hijackers who carried out the 911 attacks against New York and Washington.

Before we go further - Let me ask you a question - Would Israel sell 
operation of the Port of Haifa to DP World? Owned by the United Arab 
Emirates? Go on - Ask yourself -

The six US port facilities were already operated by Tony Blair's 'close 
friends and allies' - The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation 
Company ("P&O") in London, England. P&O has a presence in 19 countries 
across world with 29 container terminals and logistics operations in 
over 100 ports. (

The United Arab Emirates purchase of the London based - 25,000 employee 
- P&O - handled by Deutsche Bank, Citigroup, N M Rothschild & Sons and 
Morgan Stanley & Co - ( 
<http://messageboards.aol.com/aol/en_us/%3Ca%20href=>http://www.dpiterminals.com/fullnews.asp?NewsID=40Z) 
will give the UAE control - in addition to the six critical US ports - 
of marine operations in some 50 ports throughout Australia, New Zealand 
and Papua, New Guinea - Port Kelang container terminal in Malaysia - 
Southampton Container Terminals Ltd, England - Asian Terminals Inc,

businesses in Hong Kong and China, according to Sultan Ahmed Bin 
Sulayem, Executive Chairman at DP World.

Quote: "White House Defends Sale of Port Operations to Arab Firm"

"WASHINGTON (Feb. 17) - The Bush administration on Thursday rebuffed 
criticism about potential security risks of a $6.8 billion sale that 
gives a company in the United Arab Emirates control over significant 
operations at six major American ocean ports. Lawmakers said the UAE was 
an important transfer point for shipments of smuggled nuclear components 
sent to Iran, North Korea and Libya by a Pakistani scientist, Abdul 
Qadeer Khan. They also said the UAE is one of only three countries to 
recognize the now-toppled Taliban as Afghanistan's legitimate 
government." end of quote

The story gets worse -

At the same time - George Bush hired a senior United Arab Emirates 
executive - from the same company - DP World - that's buying the six US 
Ports - to be the US Government Maritime Administrator who runs the 
entire US Port System - for the Bush administration.

Quote: " DP WORLD EXECUTIVE NOMINATED FOR PRESTIGIOUS US GOVT. POSITION

<http://messageboards.aol.com/aol/en_us/%3Ca%20href=>http://www.dpiterminals.com/fullnews.asp?NewsID=39

"Dubai, 24 January 2006: - Global ports operator DP World today welcomed 
news that one of its senior executives, Dave Sanborn, has been nominated 
by US President George W. Bush to serve as Maritime Administrator a key 
transportation appointment reporting directly to Norman Mineta the 
Secretary of Transportation and Cabinet Member. The White House has 
issued a statement from Washington, DC announcing the nomination. The 
confirmation process will begin in February. Mr. Sanborn currently holds 
the position of Director of Operations for Europe and Latin America for 
the Dubai-based company.

Mohammed Sharaf, CEO, DP World said: "While we are sorry to lose such an 
experienced and capable executive, it is exactly those qualities that 
will make Dave an effective administrator for MarAd.  We are proud of 
Dave's selection and pleased that the Bush Administration found such a 
capable executive. We wish him all the best in his new role."

Ted Bilkey, Chief Operating Officer, DP World said: "Dave's decades of 
experience in markets around the world, together with his passion for 
the industry and commitment to its development, will allow him to make a 
positive contribution to the work of the Maritime Administration. We 
wish him well for the future."

Mr. Sanborn, a graduate of The United States Merchant Maritime Academy, 
joined DP World in 2005. He previously held senior roles with shipping 
lines CMA-CGM (Americas), APL Ltd and Sea-Land and has been based, 
besides the US, in Brazil, Europe, Hong Kong and Dubai during his 
career.  He has also served in the US Naval Reserve. Mr. Sanborn is due 
to take up his new role based in Washington DC later in 2006." end of quote

Are there - Any - US firms to operate the US ports? No - Because the 
largest US port operator already sold out to Dubai Ports International. 
Last year - And the Bu$h 'Committee on Foreign Investment in the United 
States' (CFIUS) approved it.... The Sheeple never noticed....

Dubai Ports International buys CSX World Terminals

<http://messageboards.aol.com/aol/en_us/%3Ca%20href=>http://www.bizjournals.com/jacksonville/stories/2005/02/21/daily19.html

Dubai Ports International has completed its acquisition of the 
international terminal business of CSX Corp. Dubai Ports paid $1.14 
billion for CSX World Terminals. The deal makes Dubai Ports one of the 
six largest operators of terminals in the world and gives it a presence 
in Asia for the first time.

In January CSX World Terminals acquired a majority of Asia Container 
Terminals, which included one of the biggest container terminals in Hong 
Kong. A month earlier CSX (NYSE:CSX) had announced plans to sell CSX 
World Terminals to Dubai Ports International. CSX spokeswoman Misty 
Skipper said the sale of World Terminals marks CSX's withdrawal from the 
international terminal business, though the company still operates in 
the terminal business domestically through CSX Intermodal." end of quote

Dr. Condoleezza Rice is President Bush's foreign policy tutor.

"There was nothing demonstrating or showing that something was coming in 
the United States. If there had been something, we would have acted on 
it." Condoleezza Rice - April 2004 - On preventing the September 11 attacks.

"We don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud." Condoleezza Rice 
- September 2002 - On avoiding a nuclear attack.

"I would hope that our friends in Abu Dhabi would not be offended by the 
fact that in our democracy, we debate these things," Rice said in the 
interview with the Arab journalists on the US response to the sale of 
the US ports to the United Arab Emirates.

How many times will the 'sold out' - Ph.D. stuffed - GOP - refuse to 
'predict' - a clear and present - nation-fatal attack - organized - 
again - by 'our friends in Abu Dhabi' ?

Apparently - Never - Now the Bu$h Administration contracts out strategic 
US ocean port operations to 'our friends in Abu Dhabi' - the United Arab 
Emirates - a key transfer agent for shipments of smuggled nuclear 
components from Pakistan to Iran, North Korea and Libya - Especially 
since the UAE now owns major shipping terminals in Venezuela, Germany, 
Romania, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Djibouti, U.A.E., India, China, 
Malaysia, New Guinea, Malaysia, Philippines, Argentina, Indonesia, 
Pakistan, Surabaya, Turkey, Hong Kong and Korea - all 'insecure allies' 
of the USA - all run by Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman at 
DP World.

And then the Bu$h Administration hires a United Arab Emirates senior 
executive from DP World as GOP Maritime Administrator to run - All - US 
marine ports...

Bu$h and Rice couldn't spot a nuke in their bath tub. Much less one 
'embedded' in a United Arab Emirates container ship inbound from China 
or India or Djibouti or Morocco or Pakistan or the UAE. But the US 
Sheeple probably could... after it goes off.

Why is Bu$h absolutely determined to make New York, New Jersey, 
Baltimore, New Orleans, Miami and Philadelphia the new 'Bikini Atolls' 
for 'unscheduled' nuclear demonstrations?

Oddly - The Port of Houston, Texas.... Is not included in the deal...

Sheeple - Who is getting sold down the river here?

You Are.... 

By the Billionaire Bu$h Family and their offshore 'close friends and 
allies'....

"We've got to protect ourselves by doing smart things in America," Bush 
said.

"Smart" for Who? I wonder what the kickback will be... For six GOP 
'mushroom clouds'...
