Waaaaaaaaaaaaay down in the story:
Wilkes, the NNSA spokesman, said the Bahamian government dictated that the U.S. give the contract to Hutchison. "It's their country, their port. The driver of the mobile carrier is the contractor selected by their government. We had no say or no choice," he said.
Not exactly what the headline claims.

I can see already that we haven't learned a damned thing around here from the "Bush selling ports to foreigners" BS story.
Here we go again, dancing to the MSM's tune.

When the Red Chi-coms used this false front "firm" to get into Freeport, I knew there would eventually be trouble. I was right.

Easy solution... ship no freight through the bahamian ports. I've been there many times... it's a sh!t hole!

This story is all part of the MSM campaign to paint Republicans as weak on security. Until they accomplish that, Democrats can't regain control.

Not exactly what the headline claims.I think you grossly underestimate the influence the United States Government holds over the Bahamas. Do you know what percentage of the Bahamas' economy is directly dependent on the United States? 95%? 98%? If the US asked the Bahamas not to sign a Chinese company, do you really think they'd say no?

Hutchison deal in the Bahamas illustrates how the administration is relying on foreign companies at overseas ports to safeguard cargo headed to the United States. I don't see what choice we have in the matter if the port is in a foreign country.
