Let's see, I stand with Schumer and Hillary [that's bad & scary], against Carter [that's good & still scary], against McCain [good & bad] and against the POTUS [that's bad]

This is one confusing issue....my GUT tells me UAE operating our ports is just plain stupid if NOT TOTALLY WRONG. My brain tells me George W Bush and his superb supporting cast [Cheney, Rice & Rumsfeld] would never do something to jeopardize this nation.

But an arab nation in some capacity operating our ports on the east coast? I just don't get it!!

And listening to 3 hours of interviews that DEFENDED this issue by port authority personnel on the Tony Snow show today STILL hasn't changed that ONE LITTLE FACT........UAE is going to operate our ports!!!

They are operating terminals, not ports.

You've just summed up exactly what the issue is and what appears to be on most people's minds and that is precisely why this will not stand.

There is already discussion in the New York/New Jersey area of Port workers walking out if this goes through. And every day, more Republican legislators are saying they will not support this action.

I understand that they will own the companies that operate the ports.

The British company that is selling, has owned the companies that operate the ports until now.
