You mean, "strategery"? I don't think so. Bush&Company just screwed up royal on this one. The Bush Treasury Dept`s inner agency, the CFIUS agency, didn't handle this properly from the get-go. And Dubya's defiant outrage in that press conference last week started all the BIGTIME criticism of his leadership on this issue. From there on out, it was all down hill for Bush. Its clear the rules need to be changed, ASAP. No foeign entity deserves to have any managemnt control over commercial port of entry operations. None at all. Whether it be the British, the Red Chinese, the Saudi's or the UAE. Commercial operations of American ports of entry should be controlled by Aemricans. Period.
They followed the process as decreed by Congress. In what way (in your opinion) did they not handle it "properly"?
you are insinuating something that does not exist. The state, county or city port authority controls ports located in their area. Don't believe it call a port. States are not going to give their ports or management to the federal government or anybody else. That you would portray them as operated by other interests is dishonest. the states, counties, and cities receive the revenue from the ports not the federal government. Don't take my word for it nor your own opinion, look it up or pick up the phone. I have been a importer for a long time and your view as to how ports work is far from reality.
