Pulling A Kerry on The United Arab Emirates Port Issue
It's rather humorous that so many on the Left are coming over to the Right on the Port Authority United Arab Emirates issue. Funny how the Left is up in arms over the potential changeover of port control to the UAE.
When I first heard of this story, I also had the kneejerk reaction that the Left is having. And, considering Jim-mah Kahter is for this, I then thought 'why, I have to be against it because how could I possibly on the same side as the Worst President Ever?'
But Curt seems to have analyzed the pros and cons. And there does not really seem to be any real reason to not move forward with the UAE deal.
But suddenly the Left is Literally Looney over this port changeover as a...get this...security risk. Gee, I didn't think the Left considered any security risks existed from foreign countries. But suddenly the Left is concerned about the national security? THIS, from the political party who thinks we should do away with our military and instead subjugate our security to the United Nations?
Suddenly the Left is concerned about U.S. national security and safety when they sat silent, permitting and condoning Bubba Clinton allowing his major political Sugar Daddy Bernie Schwartz, CEO of Loral, to sell missile technology to China? Or, as the Left pronounces it, Chi-NER.
Suddenly the Left is concerned about U.S. national security when, during the last election their presidential candidate, John Kerry, said we will negotiate with terrorists and that he, Kerry, would pursue terrorists through every available means of the courts?
I guess I've done a Kerry, and flip-flopped on this issue. I was against the UAE port authority before I was for it. Certainly a statement like that is understood and approved by the Libs, yes?
Would the Left react the same if port authority was being turned over to any other U.S. ally such as Japan, Germany, or Israel, as it has been for Great Britain these last so many years?
To my independent and libertarian friends and bloggers, I say this: Please consider, that if the Left is howling about something being wrong, then doing the opposite of what they howl about has to be the right thing do to.
Dubai is an ally. We have no reason to suspect that their intention is anything beyond business or their actions anything but legitimate.

I have the same take on it. It appears to be a balance of power issue to me. We need the Imirates as allies in the area and I can't see any more security risk than before.
And I agree-the fact that the dim-a-crits are against it means to me that it is more of a political hoop lah for them than anything else. Just more noise from washington

Hi GuyK,
Agree with all your points. Admittedly, my initial kneejerk reaction was wtf is up with it? Did some reading, did some research, and found and learned that there isn't any more degree of risk than it currently is with the ports being managed by Britain.
And, apply the logic of Groucho Marx, "what it is (the dim-o-crits) are for, I'm against it" just has to be right way to go!
