Exactly.

No one can tell me an UAE company can run a port facility cheaper, and
more efficiently when they have to hire lobbiest like Bob Dole, and pay
the cost of getting into the bigboys clubs better or cheaper than 100's
of US companies.

Screw Bush on this one. I think he has underestimated the backlash on
this shady deal.

I hope the Governers cancel the leases, and the longshoremen start
acting like longshoremen :0)

Tugboat Captains, and port pilots should refuse to board any ship bound
to any terminal that is UAE controlled.

Sheeeze.... next thing you know we will be staffing the border patrol
with the French foreign legion.

Someone is walking around with some fat pockets on this deal. And when
someone has to buy and lobby into our ports...... I smell something
very fishey, and it ain't a pogy boat.

Don't mess with our ports
