How many foreign companies managing our ports have direct ties to 9/11?
I keep hearing that China, Singapore, Holland and England have private companies managing our ports. Let me say that, before this Dubai deal, I had no idea, and if that's true, it should be changed. US companies should handle our ports and if we can't find any, the ports should be nationalized. Don't talk to me about expense. If spending a half-trillion dollars on that insane war in Iraq is some sort of security expenditure, port security trumps that. In addition, the money and jobs will stay here.

Having said that, my question still remains, will anyone care to list any countries handling our port security or management with ties to 9/11.

United Arab Emirates (UAE)

(1) 1999 hunting trip with Emirate Royal Family members in Afghanistan with OBL while CIA had bin-Laden in sight.

(2) UAE was one of only three nations to have recognized the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan while the Taliban shielded al-Queda as they planned the 9/11 attacks.

(3) Money for 9/11 attacks was traced directly to UAE banks.

(4) 2 hijackers on 9/11 were citizens of UAE including the pilot who flew one of the planes into one of the WTC towers.

(5) 11 hijackers on 9/11 had their last stop in the UAE before entering the U.S.

Is there any other country handling any business at our ports with even one of these or any similar connection to 9/11?

This is the point.

3. We can't drive this issue home enough.
why do you think Bush's Numbers are now in the 20's and low 30's. We have them on the run and they know it.

This issue should be front and center for as long as possible.
