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?

      Bush is a madman.
      (it seems to me that this proves that the war against terrorism is a load of caca)
      This is mind-boggling.

      Throughout history, Great Empires have decayed so gradually, that the fact escaped most of mankind; until the collapse was inevitable. And so it has been with very large corporations, for example.
      The Arabs have the money, and the oil- I doubt Bush is unaware of that fact.

      Well...,Im going to speculate now a little,Keenu......

      The US government isnt totally mentally challenged...

      They might think,that theyll have more influence and power over foreign companies if they are operating close to home....

      Intelligence operations will be somewhat easier to make sure activities are limited to purely and sound economical actions....

      On government level each and every actions is tactically and strategically well Tankthought thru up untill all the nastiest actions to follow thru if necessary.....

      Politics stink,you know.....

      After all , Bush isnt but a industry-puppet on a string.....

      (Im sure,you do...)

      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.
