I've not posted anything on the Dubai port deal yet as I'm trying to hear all sides. After lots of consideration I just think that I, politically, it's just a real stupid move by the Bush Administration. The security aspects are a bit less of a concern but I believe that any screener MUST be a US citizen with some type of security clearance. It makes me laugh to see the Democrats make a big issue of this as they are so against racial profiling, yet this is a huge step in the racial profile mud. Bush needs to find away out of this but Congress will not let it be easy. They all need to make statements for the 2006 election.

This isn't a race issue at all. It has to do with a country that funded the 9/11 attacks according to the 9/11 reports.
