Not one American Company bid on this contract.

Name one American company that could have bid on this contract.

I may be wrong about this, but I am under the impression that none of the major maritime shipping companies are American.

You may be right. Which is nontheless not a legitimate excuse. It is COMPLETELY unacceptable.

A chillingly excessive degree of foreign dependancy...that ALL of our greatest leaders throughout history up until the last 3 administrations, apparently...would have found an impeachable abdication of executive responsibility...

I understand (through a friend that ran the State port here years ago) that several companies contemplated bidding, but they DID NOT want to become the NEXT Halliburton. Their PR has suffered from felonious attacks from the left, and it is understandable that rats attacking might not be something that a company would want to endure!
