UAE / Al Qaeda Connection Gives Port Security A Needed Lift

"Who would you rather have running our ports?" he asked. "Would you prefer a company that has no connection to terrorism and wouldn't know the difference between an American luxury liner and a terrorist smuggling boat or would you rather have these guys who wined and dined with Osama bin Laden and know al Qaeda terrorists like the back of their hands?"

"These UAE officials have spent quality time together with al Qaeda leaders. They've developed an outstanding relationship with them, and they're quite familiar with their terrorist operations. Only the UAE is armed with enough information to make sure our ports remain safe from enemy penetration."

Al Qaeda's second in command, Ayman al-Zawahiri agreed with Mr. McClellan's assessment.

"I'm personally familiar with each and every one of those officials who run Dubai Ports World," Zawahiri said in an interview with Al Jazeera television.
"Those guys are a class act, and our own organization will greatly benefit from their knowledge of port operations."


...:rofl:
