Here is a stupid question
Why doesn't the US government own and control its own ports? Seems kinda like a no brainer to me for a variety of reasons......any takers?

5. That thought came to me too.
I think it may be a benefit to the deal but money is at it's heart.

3. I totally agree. Tell Britain to go home. We needd
jobs here in the USA and that would kill two birds with one stone - provide jobs and for us to be in charge of our own national security.

4. Not stupid, of course. But no external millions. Great question.
You of course know that's not a stupid question. Ask the other question: Why is this the most obvious idiocy, like we have never seen, under Bush/Rove/Cheney?
