Bush: No need to worry about port security
A cruise ship sits docked at the New York City Passenger Ship Terminal on Wednesday.
President Bush today defended his administration's decision to allow a company from an Arab country to operate six major U.S. ports, saying, "People don't need to worry about security." Next month, Dubai Ports World is set to finalize a $6.8 billion purchase of the British firm Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Co., which manages the six U.S. ports, which includes New York and Miami, Florida.

In protest more companies should import goods by air-plane. Assuming the air-ports are still controlled by US.
Not cost effective...but if the volume was there???? Could it be?
The world is craxy.
Jeez.

Old Otter! Is that after he was the VP? I always thought Jennie Garth was too thin but Belinda was HOT!gidgetgoestohell wrote:Oooooooo....there was a Jennie Garth one on today....with Tim Matheson....she was doing OTTER.....LOL

In this one...he stole a Japanese print from his dying wife's father...the wife didn't die and Jennie hooked up with his son for citizenship....Boy...I love Lifetime movie watching with Gooch....
At the time, I was highly insulted by the Belinda comparison...but...like everything else...that has mellowed with age.....LOL

Yeah right. If you are mellow, I must be dead. If you were Jennie Garth slender, I can see why you would be miffed. Belinda was on the thick side but that's how I like 'em. Especially big blondes. My wife isn't blonde but my last one was. Of course, I would rather be with a sweet brunette like Mary than that blonde bi-atch.

Doesn't matter. You're still pretty cute & after 40, body size becomes less important than who you are. Plus you could probably take Belinda. Being a star has probably made her soft.gidgetgoestohell wrote:Hehehehehehee.....
In HS...I was Jennie thin.....but I have caught up and passed Belinda now....

hmmmm
A United Arab Emirates-owned company has agreed to turn over all of its operations at U.S. ports to an American entity, Sen. John Warner said today. Reading a statement from DP World on the Senate floor, Warner, a Virginia Republican, said the reason is "to preserve" the strong relationship between the UAE and United States. The announcement comes after congressional leaders reportedly told President Bush that the deal for DP World to assume some operations at six U.S. ports appeared dead on Capitol Hill.
