UAE and Port Security
Why in the world, I wondered, would the Bush administration turn over our port security to the United Arab Emirates, a country with known ties to the 911 hijackers and one of only 3 countries in the world who recognized the Taliban?
It all becomes clear to me now.

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- A day after Space Adventures announced it was in a venture to develop rocket ships for suborbital flights, the company said Friday it plans to build a $265 million spaceport in the United Arab Emirates.
The commercial spaceport would be based in Ras Al-Khaimah near the southern end of the Persian Gulf, and the UAE government has made an initial investment of $30 million, the Arlington, Virginia-based company said in a statement.

There's nothing about America that's not for sale.
