So on one hand we can't trust Arabs as far as we can throw them, but on the other we say okey-dokey to whichever ones Dubya will hold hands with. Have I got that straight?

In actuality, this is a business deal, with a UK firm that has contracts in 6 US ports being taken over by another firm.

It's not like that DP world is taking over the ports. They will have a contract to load and unload ships from all a round the world from that port(which is under US control and overseen by local, state, and federal security).

Now there can be a debate about if that is good or not, but let's get rid of the chuckie schumer misnomer that DP World is "taking" over the ports, which they are not.

Will someone please tell me why there is not an American firm that can handle this acquisition? Why is it not even talked about? How about the cities where the ports are located having ownership, control and management?
