PORT INSECURITY
Do the feds really want to place the ports of New York and New Jersey in the hands of a Middle East country with ties to the Sept. 11 hijackers? As The Post reported on Sunday, that's what's about to happen, now that Dubai Ports World has won control - for $6.8 billion - of British-owned Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Co.
The purchase gives Dubai Ports control of six U.S. ports - including, in addition to New York-New Jersey, Miami, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New Orleans.
True, the deal reportedly was approved by the top-secret U.S. Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, which decided there was no security risk.
But at a time when security in the ports remains unacceptably lax, we wonder whether this is a wise move.

If there were a presidential election held today, I'd vote for Pat Buchanan before I'd vote for W.

lol! I guess that all depends upon how you define "famous." That line was "spoken" by a talking possum in a comic strip (the name of which escapes me) about forty years ago.

I'd vote for Newt before I'd vote for W. Unfortunately, Newt has a big negative in that he's every bit as much an internationalist as are W., Hillary, Bill Clinton, etc.
Pat Buchanan is not an internationalist, but he does seem to have a thing against Israel. Perhaps he's jealous of the favorable treatment the Jews have received while nobody gives the same favorable treatment to the roman catholic denominaton.
