What has it come to when we have to root for Hillary and Chucky to get things done? That you are one of the suckers, PT Barnum was talking about.

Even if their effort is all BS to embarass GWB, I will support this effort. That's the difference between Libs and Conservatives. We will agree with a good idea, even if we don't agree with the people behind it. That, dear Libs, is diversity
PREACH ON!!

"The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, a U.S. inter-agency panel that reviews security implications of foreign takeovers of strategic assets, has already reviewed the transaction and did not object. "
This committee needs to be investigated now! They're trying to kill us as they stuff their offshore bank accounts.
There must be something we are missing since this is so insane.

Took the words out of my mouth.
The Dims must be reading the old Republican play book.
I can guarantee you that the new Republican play book of the last couple of years is lacking in concern for many of the things I deem important like immigration.

Hillary Clinton would be happy to hand port security off to a government-assisted special interest group. She heard the NY media bitching about this, and she decided to grab some free cred. You may think you are with the Rats, but they are not with you.

"If the Federal government passed a law prohibiting foreign-owned companies from operating terminals at U.S. ports tomorrow, this country would probably grind to a halt within 48 hours."
fine let's halt it until we can some security and some sanity operating at our strategic ports.

These people are all full of sh!t. There is a specific period of time (30 days, I believe) during which mergers/acquisitions of this sort are subject to review. Apparently none of these people had any concerns about it during that 30-day review period, but once the story became a public issue (complete with all kinds of grossly inaccurate information) everyone is scrambling to cover their @sses.

Thanks! I'd confused COSTIND with COSCO. For anyone interested, more on both from
this 1998 link.
I need a scorecard.

There must be something we are missing since this is so insane What is so insane of stockholders of one company (P&O, based in Britain) approving the sale of their company.
Are you saying stockholders shouldn't have a voice in how their company is run?

Clinton sold Long Beach Harbor to the Communist Chinese for campaign funds.
That b*tch, Mrs. fat-b*stard-from-the-wrong-side-of-the-tracks, is....well, we all know what she is.

Given the choice, I'd rather go back to the days when the Sicialian goombahs controlled most of the major ports than let the Arabs take them over.
Yes, they frequently engaged in unsavory criminal activity, but let me tell you, any terrorist trying to smuggle in a dirty nuke or something would end up under the dock with a meat hook sticking out of his head.

That means no foreign-owned vessels making port calls in the U.S., too.
Like I said, the country would grind to a halt within 48 hours and we'd be living in the proverbial Stone Age within a month.

It's a crying shame that we have to cheer left-wingers for standing up for our sovereignty while a Republican president is trying to sell us out.
