Here's some lip service from John McCain

Thank you for contacting me regarding the security of our nation's ports.
I appreciate hearing your views.

As you know, a firm owned by the United Arab Emirates has acquired
recently the British shipping company that operates cargo terminals at six
major U.S. seaports. This transaction does not change the security
operations at these ports or the people working at the docks. Overall
responsibility for these ports remains with the appropriate port
authority, which answers to state or local governments. Federal
enforcement agencies working with state and local authorities will
continue to remain in charge of port security to ensure that each port
terminal meets seaport security requirements.

I understand that many Americans are alarmed at the perceived security
risks involving this acquisition. A federal multi-agency review has
resulted in the approval of the transaction by the Committee on Foreign
Investments in the United States, which is chaired by the Secretary of the
Treasury. Still, Members of Congress wish to more closely study this
matter, and by all means, Congress should seek answers to all relevant
questions involving the approval of this transaction. I am confident that
additional Congressional oversight and assurances from the appropriate
administration officials will ensure that nothing is permitted to
jeopardize our nation's port security.

Thank you again for contacting me. Please don't hesitate to contact me
again on this or any other matter of concern to you.



Sincerely,



John McCain
United States Senator

enforcement agencies you mention, have grave concerns about this deal. Eh, McCain? :mad:

bombs or bombers from U.S. Ports McCain you simpleton! "I am confident that additional Congressional oversight and assurances from the appropriate administration officials will ensure that nothing is permitted to
jeopardize our nation's port security." Congress has been so marginalized by the unitary executive until about 9 months from now that I don't have much faith in your bootlicking email.

the way he has been kissing up to B**h I thought HE was the next Monica.

"If I want any lip from you, I'll scrape it off my zipper."

not many ports in Phoenix, huh?
