Dubai Ports Worls to divest itself of all American interests

[navysealdad]

World

[Terpfen]

Thanks, Congress!

[MineralMan]

Do you have any more information about this? One line is not really a post.

[Mikey_1962]

Prime Terminals priced to SELL!

[mware]

The other side of the coin.

[Terpfen]

DPW is divesting all American interests because of the Congressional vote to block the port deal.

[Larry Lucido]

OK, cue Halliburton.

[mewzilla]

Note to Dubai: Just because our Congress excels at acting like a bunch of chickens with their heads cut off, doesn't mean you all have to reciprocate.

[the Real fifi]

I have no idea what this means. I suspect it is delaying the take over of the US terminals as part of the P & O sale and NOT that they are throwing in the towel because other articles say they are not. (And in my opinion they shouldn't)

[shuckmaster]

This proves that they were no friends of ours in the first place and congress has done the right thing (for a change)!!!

[Mikey_1962]

Haliburton is one of the few American companies that can run the logistics of a terminal.

[areafiftyone]

Just lovely - Congress went into Political Panic Mode and made it a total mess!

[Dallas59]

Any Israeli companies interested?

[Mr. Brightside]

Does this mean that Bill Clinton does not get his lobbying money?

[bayourant]

I hope the anti port anti Bush Freepers are happy. The trade deal will be dead too in Dubai in a few weeks. That was years in the making and was a major part of the on going WOT. We have taken a black eye on this big time. But hey I forgot we are fighting a war on Islam not terror.

[RWR8189]

Harriet Miers in a turban?

[WBL 1952]

Proves the MOB mentality is alive and well in America.

They were suppose to get 45 days to have it reviewed; but Americans never lasted 5 days before they decided the only good Arab is a d _ _ _ Arab.

Sick.

[burzum]

It's on Fox News right now.

[Cboldt]

End of issue.

[bayourant]

Yeah the ISraeli would be a good pick. And hey we have actually convicted people that spyed on us for Israel. So I am sure folks would support that

DUBI PORTS WORLD AGREES TO TRANSFER OF PORTS TO AN AMERICAN COMPANY.


PER/. C-SPAN

[Iwo Jima]

Those people are certainly reliable allies, aren't they?

Not!

[Echo Talon]

Well, there goes all our intel from the UAE, whoo hoo huge victory in the WOT! /sarcasm

[dfwgator]

Way to go a-holes in Congress. Hope you're happy now. Now the ChiComs will get them instead.

[guinnessman]

I don't understand.

If I insult you, and you express indignation at being insulted, does that mean that I was right to insult you?

[bayourant]

Then I suggest you go over seas raise a army and start blowing up mosques.Leave the USA war on a religion

[Schwaeky]

Also, Alticor or Wal Mart could run it.. But my $$ is on Haliburton..

[PackerBronco]

Those people are certainly reliable allies, aren't they?

Are you talking abou DUBAI or congress?

[bk1000]

bfd...

[Echo Talon]

China is fixin to buy it! LOL

[italianquaker]

the media will be very upset because of no veto showdown prez vs gop

[American Quilter]

OK, cue Halliburton.

I would LOVE to see the Dems' faces if Halliburton bought the contracts at rock-bottom prices.

[bayourant]

out

[phasma proeliator]

no offense, but I want proof...

[1rudeboy]

This proves that they were no friends of ours in the first place and congress has done the right thing (for a change)!!!

Interesting logic:

They try to make a deal, but they are not our friends.
They pull out of the deal, therefore they are not our friends.

[navysealdad]

Dubai Ports says it will sell US piece of deal to another investor.

[navysealdad]

Dubai Ports says it will sell US piece of deal to another investor.

[NordP]

So true. They HAD forty-five days and not even a week goes by and they do THIS? What ever happened to making sure this was bad or good?

I'd be mad too, if I were DPW.

[epluribus_2]

No but I bet China, Japan, and India will step right in.

[Wasanother]

Which American company is taking over the terminals or will they just remain empty? Any thoughts anyone?

[mewzilla]

Well, what I can't figure out is what the HECK is with Dubai. Yeah, Congress is full or utter morons. So what else is new. It shouldn't come as a surprise. What on earth is Dubai thinking to get its collective shorts in a knot so publicly?

BREAKING: Dubai Firm Gives Up Management of U.S. Ports

[Iwo Jima]

The Clintons are orchestrating this entire thing, playing Bush like a Stradivarius (sp?).

[nuconvert]

No, it's going to an American company

[Iwo Jima]

The Clintons are orchestrating this entire thing, playing Bush like a Stradivarius (sp?).

[SkyPilot]

I'll buy that for a dollar.

Seriously, so what? So, they sell their interests. And...............what. Someone else will buy them. It isn't like these incredible ports are suddenly worthless. On the contrary.

This is akin to:

"I am not the stinky poo poo! YOU are the stinky poo poo! I am taking my bike and going home!"

[L98Fiero]

Yeah, these people have been insulting UAE for a solid month then when this happens they grumble, "Some friends". Typical brainless children.
