U.S. ports in the hands of a state-owned Arab company Dark_Crow 02/21/06
    "It is not as if they will fire all the unionized workers at P&O's U.S. ports and replace them with Arabs."

    "Powerful Washington lawmakers citing security concerns on Tuesday pushed emergency legislation to block a controversial deal that would place management of six major U.S. ports in the hands of a state-owned Arab company."

    President Bush has stated we (America) are going forward and, "I will veto any legislation that stops us from going forward.


    I am not up to date on this matter. Can anyone tell me why we would allow a foreign Corporation to manage our ports?

      Dark Crow I am asking you and any other Board members very nicely not to post anything that is too long for this format because it is very irritating.

Let me quote Senator McCain when he said about the harbor furor that there is a whole lot of heat today, but not much light.

I need light.
