Racism is a bigger threat to our national security than the UAE. Federeted Principalities who formed to resist the house of saud are ARAB. Not every Arab is in Al-Qaida or has ties. Seriously. If you are against the deal, you're a racist. You might realize it or believe it, but there is no other reason than racism as to why the UK can oversee something and the UAE can't.

Well, I am against the deal as to the UK, UAE, Nigeria, Japan and anyone else. My position is that American companies should operate our ports, pure and simple. Many countries have all kinds of views that not too pro-American and could be less than diligent in protecting our interests and borders so it isn't fear or racism toward Arabs that motivates my view point, it is pro-American economy and protection of our borders that is my motivation. If the issue is that there aren't enough American port security companies here, then there is the incentive for Americans to get on the ball and handle business. American borders and ports should be controlled by Americans, pure and simple. It makes sense.
