The majority of the employees will be American. Maybe a few execs will be
Arab. I understand that the Dubai company is the largest operator of port
operations in the world. Most ports are leased out to companies. Do not
understand why. Port of Oakland, which I grew up by and dad did a lot of
work on ships there when I was a younger me, is run by the Port of
Oakland. A quasi-government operation. Same as Port of San Francisco.
Why can not NYC run there own port?


All true, but there's still something odd about the current situation. The
Senate (including some of Bush's most typical and automatic Republican
supporters) want to introduce legislation to slow things down a take a
closer look at the deal. But, Bush says he'll veto any bill which meddles
with the purchase of the company. That should strike ANYONE as a bit
strange. It's almost as if he has some sort of personal stake in the
purchase.
