Flashermac Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 NEW YORK DAILY NEWS 20 February 2006 'President's gone insane' - 9/11 dad BY JIMMY VIELKIND How, asks Peter 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 nineteen 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 The USA has been "on sale" for many years. This one is just making a little noise. Example: Maersk Line, Ltd. Danish company They operate the US Navy Watson Class ships, meaning they get paid by the US Navy to provide crew for the ships, handle repairs and they know where the ships are at all times. Security???? There are many US Citizen owned companies that offer the same service but Maersk hired a few ex-admirals retired from the US Navy and even though Maersk bid MILLIONS of USD higher, they keep the contract. Yes, the USA is for sale!!! :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
