Bush can't have it both ways on security

The Port of New Orleans is one of 6 ports at the center of the controversy over the sale of port operations to the UAE government. The reality of this deal is that who owns the operation probably doesn't impact security. But in the post 9/11 world of the Dunce in Chief we can't take the risk. If our security is at such risk that the President has to monitor the communications of US citizens without a warrant we need to err on the side of caution. Bush can't have it both ways.

Chertoff the Jerk Off said that we have to balance National Security with the need for global commerce and investment. How can the Secretary of Homeland Security make such a value judgement? His role is to focus on Homeland Security, not global commerce. If Homeland Security could come up with a way to secure our ports this would be a non-issue. However, the ports are regarded as the weakest part of our borders. That given, we can't take the risk of allowing terrorists to gain access via an arabic government, however trustworthy that government maybe. If Ted Kennedy and various infants are on a no-fly list because of our security needs, we need to err on the side of caution. Chertoff the Jerk Off can't have it both ways.
