Schumer Proposes Outsourcing Cargo Security to Dubai

Chuck Schumer, who so badly wanted to be known as the man who killed the Dubai Ports deal, proposed an amendment to a spending bill that would have handed most of our cargo handling records to Dubai Ports World. Rush Limbaugh also comments:

The Republicans and Democrats were in a race to see who could first stop the deal and the Republicans got there first and Harry Reid called a press conference: "It was Senator Schumer who did it! Senator Schumer you led the way on this. We are proud that you led the way." Fine, Senator Schumer led the way. Now he wants to outsource cargo inspection coming into this country to a Hong Kong firm that is actually run by Dubai Ports World. I just love this story. I have always loved this story.
