I've seen nothing addressing whether or not there have been any complaints against the UAE ports currently operating in the U.S. Do you know of any such reports?

None whatsoever. Also none about those by the Saudi firm. None about the Arab contracts already in New York.

This is nothing new, just a new low by the left and those who willingly carry their water.

I say, let them buy 21 golf courses. I have absolutely no problem with that. Not 21 ports.

Can you please provide a link or source showing that UAE DWP is 'buying' 1 port, let alone 21?

I was wondering where you got that information....

Well they're spending 6 billion dollars on it I hope they're getting something for it.

But you wish to split hairs. So, I meant take over terminal operations. For Stevedore services in 15 other ports where they aren't going to be handling containers. In cluding Beaumont/Pt. Arthur and Corpus Christi.

This was from Fox News Radio this morning.

From your link, for others to see:
"It's a world, which, as Moises Naim, Editor-in-Chief of Foreign Policy magazine told me, is crying out for some form of global governance."

Yup. The U.S. is slowly selling out it's infrastructure, to foreign corporations with ties to dictatorships, Commies, etc.

Hey MI,

What do you think of this port deal? Good or bad? I always respect your informed opinion.

Regards

On the surface it looks bad, but not one of my fellow CBP officers or I think it will affect security in anyway.

21???? Why didn't any of our government officials say anything about this when they went live about it? It would have sounded alot better coming from Bush, Rice, Chertoff, etc. than to keep hearing about this from the press...

Thank you!! That is much needed info. I only wish this was more widely publicized over the last week or two. Why do you think it was not?
