Preech, Tony Blankley, conservative columnist for the Washington Times, was ranting and raving over this long before it became sexy for Hillary Clinton. The conservative talk radio soldiers have been on this like rabid dogs.

Compare that with Joe Lieberman, certainly no pushover on security and the Middle East, was saying this whole thing had been sligtly overblown a week or so ago.

The politicians jumping all over this have a vested political interest in doing so. I don't believe the concerns raised over this are wel founded, and I think they are based on fear, ignorance, and good old fashioned xenophobia.

I think the 45 day revie will go by, the deal will either go through, or the Dubai company will withdra the offer like China did the oil deal (NOTE: China still runs American ports today).
