It's rare that you will see me criticizing President Bush but his latest decision to outsource the handling and running of 6 ports to an Arab company has me fuming.

I'm against the outsourcing of American security to any foreign country or company. President Bush has missed the mark here. What's even worse is that he's overlooked the criticism of many Republicans and Democrats in Congress.

President Bush has said throughout his presidency that America is at war against terror. Then why would he compromise the security at six American ports (Florida, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Louisiana)? We're not sure but we think it has something to do with money.

So is America now whoring American security? You bet. We have been pimped and we're sitting back and taking it. This is extremely shameful.

President Bush says that American security isn't compromised. How is that possible? Why would a foreign company from Dubai, UAE care about American security? While the UAE is now an ally in the fight against terrorism, 9/11 terror funds were funneled by Al Qaeda through Dubai. The UAE also recognized the Taliban as a legitimate government.

I believe that the deal should be delayed for 30 to 60 days so that both Senate and Congressional committees can review the deal and propose legislation limiting or cancelling the deal if necessary.

The fact that Bush has threatened to veto any legislation prohibiting the deal is terrible and out of touch with concerns of the average American.

What is the president afraid of? If there is nothing to worry about, let the Senate and House of Representatives review the deal and draw its own conclusions.

The House and Senate represent America and have the right to decide what's in America's best interests.

I hope that President Bush will come to his senses and allow the Senate and House to decide what's best for America.
