Dubai Port Compromise a Sham
Think Progress explains why the compromise over the Dubai Port deal is a sham.
The deal is political, not substantive. It's designed take some heat off the White House, not protect the security of the United States.
I think the compromise a delay tactic. Does anyone expect a real investigation by the Treasury Department, another agency in the executive branch of government? I don't. As for none being needed, check out Steve Soto's post at Left Coaster on why the UAE should not be trusted with our security.
...just last year in front of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, in which our own Chief of Staff to the US Mission to the United Nations, told Congress that the UAE was participating in the ferrying of prohibited goods to and from Saddam Hussein in violation of the UN sanctions.
