More on Dubai Ports World
It turns out that The Coast Guard raised concerns weeks ago that it could not determine whether a United Arab Emirates-based company seeking a stake in some U.S. port operations might support terrorist operations.
This deal is clearly a political blunder. Whether it is bad for the US remains unclear to me. What is clear is that the nexus between the UAE and the 911 attacks was much more direct then any connection with Iraq. As the Republican Chairman of the 9/11 Commission, Thomas Kean said "There's no question that two of the 9/11 hijackers came from there and money was laundered through there."
