UAE to take over US PORTS

What is the name of Bush's buddy that got all those contracts in Iraq? Wonder why he doesn't want to run something in his own country? And the thing is run by their government- if we can rebuild New Orleans, save Iraq and oversee Iran, we can take of our own ports of entry and borders- it is becoming not a question of want to , but have to. 90 Billion to Iraq and let the UAE run our ports? I wonder why the country is sick of politics? We spend a fortune on the world and then sell the friggin country?
