97. So here's the real problem
Edited on Fri Feb-24-06 06:49 PM by thefool_wa
What I don't think the bush administration is looking at is the potential for an immigration route into the US through this company.

While Dubai, the UAE as a whole, and most likely even DP World are not terrorists or sympathizers/supporters, their control of US ports as a major corporation provides an avenue of job opportunities for those within the UAE (which has a proven history of being home to people who hate us).

Much like here, the guy who gets away with something the easiest is the guy who has never committed a previous crime. So picture some guy in the UAE (probably the equivalent of a college age activist in the USA) decides he's had enough of us, gets an immigration visa through DP World to come work in one of our ports. He is now set up to either strike at the port himself or try to move OTHER sympathizers he knows over here so THEY can strike at the port.

I honestly don't care if its a pipe bomb or a nuclear weapon, I'd rather not think of this being a possibility at 20 or more PORTS!
