I hate to tell you this but you are brain dead on this issue.

The company in question already controls almost all of the ports that our shipping comes from. The ones they don't are controlled by the People Liberation Army (Red China).

Our entire strategy for import/export control, particularly post 9/11, is to inspect the material AT THE PORT OF DEPARTURE.  This company has been very good at cooperating with our inspection and documentation regime.  As these companies go they're probably one of the good guys (doesn't mean that there aren't people who could find a way to exploit this relationship, but it's not the company itself we need to worry about).

You may or may not be right that letting the UAE company own the accounting systems for these American ports (and that's what this really is about) but if you're right, you're about 10 years too late.

Where were you when folks like this gained control of the points of origin for what we import?

YOUR MORONIC WOOL BLITZER HAS NOT BEEN TELLING US THE TRUTHS YOU HAVE SPOKEN OF FOR THE 10 YEARS.

The significance of what you just said will be lost...
