Remmember; this deal is not a publicly held company from another country like Englands is; this is a FORIEGN GOVERNMENT owning our ports.
The UAE is a foriegn govt; NOT a company within another country like we have in England now. This is the disengenous trick they are playing with our security. No foreign Government should be running our ports. Especially one that supported Osama Bin Laden.

One of my republican friends suggested that this was a ploy to allow the house republicans to put distance between themselves and GW for the fall elections. They could point out that they have opposed an unpopular president. Karl Rove genius if true.

It's all about the money, and Dubai natural gas reserves.

I dont think its about a foreign government owing our ports. Are these ports already not run by English, Dutch, Chinese?

Maybe a ploy on distancing, interesting concept if so.

I'm not in favor of this deal by any stretch. I'd like to know some more facts too.

Funny,
The media is on this like piranha on a cow that just fell into the river.

Bill; the ports are not run by the English Government; they are run by a publicly held British industrial firm. You can buy stock and have input into that company. Dubai World is a State owned facility managed by the people who run UAE; the Sheiks. The UAE is not a democracy. The same ones who funded Osama.
How would you find those facts? The natural gas reserves are listed everday in the commodities exchange. None of this info is secret. It all must be made public for them to even bid on the job.
What is secret is the motives of the Bush camp for pushing this deal through the U.S. Govts. vetting process. They claim to be over there fighting terrorism and that fight is their no. 1 concern, then they hand over the managment of our ports to a country; and Dubai World is part of their govt; to a Sheikdom in the mid-east that supports terrorism.
It would be like asking Venezuela to run your local school system.

maybe we can get a Saudi real estate firm to lease out all the new offices coming available in the new trade tower when it's complete?

Yep; I saw a few walking around down there with checkbooks the other day. Then I think we should lease out our nuclear bases to Hezbollah for a tidy profit!
Then we can give guided tours of our nuclear submarine bases run by the Iranian Tourist Bureau.
Oh boy; North Korea is running the North East Electrical Grid at great savings to the taxpayer!
Any other good business deals you can think of?
