911 Dad says Bush has 'gone insane'

[buttmunch]

Peter Gadiel just doesn't get it.
How, asks Gadiel, whose son James died in the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, can a company owned by a terror-linked country get control of our nation's ports?

"I'm a lifelong Republican and I think the President's gone insane," said Gadiel, 58, who heads 9/11 Families for a Secure America.

Two of the 19 9/11 hijackers were citizens of Dubai, the Arab emirate whose bid to run ports in New York, New Jersey and four other cities was okayed by the White House even though investigators have found signs that money used to finance terrorism flowed through Dubai banks.

"How the hell could this happen?" fumed Bill Doyle, 58, a retired Staten Island stockbroker whose son Joseph also died when the Trade Center fell.

"We're not securing our country in any way by selling our ports to foreigners," he said.

Gadiel and Doyle stood with Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) yesterday at the harbor to express their outrage.

Bruse DeCell, 55, whose son-in-law died in the attacks, said that homeland security should be the highest concern when approving the activities of foreign business interests.

"This administration is putting the selling of our country on a fast track," he said. "There are a lot of loose ends that caused 9/11 to happen. I'm trying to close them."

Only 5% of the cargo containers entering U.S. ports are inspected, said Schumer, who has called for upgrades in port security for years.

Two of the 19 9/11 hijackers were citizens of Dubai, the Arab emirate
whose bid to run ports in New York, New Jersey and four other cities
was okayed by the White House even though investigators have found signs
that money used to finance terrorism flowed through Dubai banks.

By way of analogy -- there is a point to this digression --
back in the 1880s, when Jack the Ripper was terrorizing London,
police patrols were doubled and extended and there was a copper
on every other corner...until one day when they called them off.
Although they never officially announced it, they'd found the most
likely suspect -- one who was so sure to be the Ripper that they
called off the extra patrols.

AFAIK, the only reason that the US gov't would award these contracts
to "terrorist states" is because they have nothing to fear from them.
Breeding ground for terrorists? Don't be silly.

That's an inadvertant confession that this war on terror is bogus.

When I read the title, I thought some dad called 911 and told the operator that Bush has gone insane...

^^ He may not be insane, but he might be a dry drunk, which means
he's quit drinking but still gets into drunken rages.

More evidence that Bush is a dry drunk?

Love the dry drunk evidence.

WoW Ourman; you never cease to amaze me with your eye-opening insight, that is a very astute and credible observation.

Bush just said he'd veto any opposition to the port deal anyway.

this is a Bush family/Saudi family pork barrel gift.

[buttmunch]

Well, we all know how tight the Bush family has been with the bin Ladin's and other Saudi families for decades. I agree with Grimm...this is a big thank you for who knows what.
