Watch The "Do Nothing" Criminal U.S. Congress Discuss Port Deal

Republicrats in the "Do Nothing" U.S. Congress hold their first set of hearings on the Dubai Ports deal. In this hearing, they are already "selling" the Bush Port deal, attempting to make sure that it is approved.

Now I said this would happen, if you scroll down to my first post about the Dubai Port deal, titled "STRANGER THAN FICTION: Homeland Security?"

I can recall after 9/11, the Pentagon, and the State Department repeatedly mentioning the UAE as a problem. Even the 9/11 Commission reported that the UAE was problematic and less than cooperative. The 9/11 Commission was also against the review process in these matters, which it said was too weak. The 9/11 Commissioners also object to this deal. We now also know that the Department of Homeland Security actually objected to the deal early on, but changed its position later. Now all of a sudden, the UAE is great, and we should trust them with our security? Unreal!

Now we find out that Neil Bush, the brother of President Bush, has strong ties to Dubai. Also, David Sanborn, a member of the Bush team, works for or has worked for this same port company- Dubai Ports World. Why did Bush go around the normal channels and procedures on this deal? Why did they have a secret deal, as was reported earlier this week? Several procedures and security requirements were waived for this company... Why?
And with all that we know, I find it hard to believe that Bush never knew about this deal. Everytime these guys open their mouths they lie. We must also ask, who is making the money from this deal? Always follow the money trail! FOLLOW THE MONEY!!! It will lead you back to the scoundrels behind this deal who have sold you out.

Despite all the attempts to sell this deal to the public (Brainwashing the public), with all the misleading glossy information that the Bush-ites will give about the UAE, here is what the former Inspector General of Homeland Security had to say (very smart man, and one of our highest ranking law enforcement officials). Here is an earlier article about issues raised by Mr. Ervin, from late 2004. Here, Ervin really points out serious flaws in our security and it hits at the heart of this issue.

The Republicrats cannot be expected to do anything in this situation, this is what I fully expected from the beginning...they will do what they always do... give a rubber stamp to whatever the White House wants. These crooks need to be arrested.

Luckily there are a few politicians who MAY have some backbone. We shall see. Local officials- Governors and mayors, Port authorities and Port owners- are planning to move ahead with lawsuits in an attempt to reverse this deal. This will be the only chance to stop this deal.

Here is the video link to watch this Republicrat Ceremony, from the Senate Armed Services Committee.
