Thread: Arab run ports in the US

What is your opinion of having other countries manage US ports?

I am very opposed to any other country running US ports.
What are those responsible for this thinking? Wonder
if a few fat envelopes influenced their thinking.

I am surprised no US company has jumped up saying that they could do it. There has to be good money in it.

I would be surprised if ther wasn't. Who knows what is going
on. This whole country is corrupt,from the Courthouse to the
White House, regardless of the political party in control.
I know, West Virginia politicans lead the pack. These clowns
would line up for free hemmoroids if someone was passing
them out.

It's part of the program. When you hit 1000 posts the system assumes you're abusing it and holds all future post for a majority of moderators to accept the submission. Either that or he needs to give his fingers a break. I know mine are starting to ache a little.

Maybe not now, but after they're out of office.

It's not an issue of Arabs running our ports. It's an issue of an Arab owned company running our ports and as much as politicians are trying to make that sound like the same thing; it's not. Nor are all Arabs alike, which is why you hear "arab run ports" a lot more than you hear "Dubai, owned by UAE".

Except for sole proprietorships, corporations have their own legal entity and are, in fact, their own entity in many respects. While the UAE may own it, you may be sure that there aren't any Emir's pushing the buttons on a daily basis at corporate headquarters.

It's not surprising at all to me that there aren't any US companies holding up their hands to do this. Most aren't up to the task and don't have the experience, equipment, skill sets or service charges capable of being considered a good faith offer.

Maybe the democrats would be more happy if Haliburton took over the contract?

RICH HIT 1000 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PARTY TIME
