The Big Story of the Day: Don't sell the ports to the UAE!

The time is 1939. War clouds gather in Europe. Fascist Italy makes the USA an offer to save millions by taking over six major ports to include the one at New York City. Those who favor appeasement also favor this takeover because, as is well known, Mussolini has made the Italians ever so much more efficient and has "made the trains run on time. "

Of course, this didn't happen. To my best knowledge this was never proposed in 1939 by the Roosevelt Administration, which despite its love affair with the economics of fascist Italy, was never foolish to enough compromise Homeland Security by doing business with a potential enemy of the United States.

Yet unbelievably the Bush Administration, the stalwart enemy of Islamofascism, seeks to turn over control of major American ports to the UAE, a motley collection of neo- fascist Arab Gulf Banana Republics who stand charged with allowing Al Qaeda to use their banking system to enable the attack on 9/11. This dingbat idea is back by the Director of Homeland Security who perhaps should switch back to smoking only tobacco with charming Arab diplomats before he sells the Brooklyn Bridge and Independence Hall to them.

Somehow I don't think this is a done deal. This is even too much for raving Leftist Moonbat Democrats such as Hillary Clinton.

As usual Malkin has the rest of the story.
