I'm with you ....
That seems to be your impression of what will happen.
My impression of what will happen is that company employees will have to start using new letterhead stationery.
Thanks, I just turned the radio on, I was watching t.v. in my room. I'm calling Santorum, Specter and Rendell tomorrow.
Sorry , in a post 9/11 world this is an insane idea.
You are correct. I can't remember what I read it in (sorry!), but I've just read so much about this today!
This article stated that American Labor Unions would retain control of dock workers. (If that is supposed to be reassuring, it isn't, but that's another story!)
Do we have the wrong mission there?
Again , sounds like a dumb idea to me ..Trusting UAE is not wise.
Did he say why?
Furthermore, after 9/11, the Dept of Treasury complained of a lck of cooperation by UAE and other Arab countries as the US was trying to track down UBL's bank accounts."What was that Bush said? 'If you're not with us, you're against us?...I guess that was just chest pounding BS.
I realize it is not PC to state prejudice. BUT, let's face it, at this time in history (not all) but our biggest problem is the security threats that is directed from Arabs.
Now, we are not going to see turban wearing men with AK-47's, it doesn't work like that. There is more chance of bombs, WMD, etc. being smuggled in and there being employees from this company involved. (I am not sayin that DPW would be directly involved, but just used indirectly.)
The risk is not worth it. We need to find another company. This is not the time for hurt feelings.
Do we check shipments from Columbia South America for Drugs? Why? It's not prejudice, it's reputation, and reptition of known problems. The level of safety we are speaking of is huge.
The CIA believes that Baltimore is a port that terrorists would most likely use to smuggle WMD or a bomb through. If this is already a possibility, who do you believe these terrorists be? If they are Middle Eastern, then let's just not go there. I hope there is another company..
What is your view on Dave Sanborne?
Until I know what their responsibilities are, I am not going to complain.
no...just that no American company put in a bid...

He thinks he's setting up shop...

Remember all the fun with "meaning of 'is'"? Same thing with "meaning of 'with'" (or "for," or "against" -- pick your word).
At bottom, it's not a word game, but the experts at superficiality will make it into a word game.
Is it a union thing?
(sorry, I am not following thread. Just got a call and my husband's uncle died this pm. This is a blessed event; he had Alzheimer's for many years. He is finally at peace.)
A deal this big had to have kickbacks. Wonder who got them?
Most large companies are Delaware corporations, even if they don't do business there.
My point is that corporations kind of exist in a different world than nations or locations.
The made in America Toyota you buy is technically Japanese, but only technically.
"And your cover as an idiot was seen all along."
In your islamofascist world anyone who doesn't bow to islam and allow islam to control our strategic ports is an idiot. As one who can see right through your scam, I am proud to be one of many in the company of your most feared and irreverent "idiots."
