I don't know if the P&O Ports acquisition by the UAE company is a "good deal" or not, but I'm on the President's side on this one.

These international mergers involving U.S. interests are subject to review for national security implications by the executive branch under Section 5021 of the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988. There is really no reason for Congress -- after having given this authority to the President -- to come back and suggest that maybe that law wasn't such a good idea after all . . . mainly because the legislative and judicial branches are far less competent in dealing with these matters than the executive branch. Isn't that exactly the point we've been making with regard to these so-called "warrantless wiretaps?"

Unless a situation like this happens...

I'm with you on this one. You're not even a Bushbot, I've been called one (not by you of course) many times, and we've never really agreed on much here at FR.
