I listened to Tony Snow's radio show tonight...and he seemed to think this is much ado about not so much...
He even tried to explain it....so that those of us at the thread, who expressed our displeasure would be more in favor of it...or at least to understand why it isn't as bad as we think...
I guess I was listening with an already made up mind or something...because though I am a Bush fan...and I think Tony knows a lot about stuff...I didn't come away convinced that this won't be a bad thing....sorry to report.
The worst part about this is the fact that Hillary is jumping in at the last second...to make sure her name gets on the "Dems that are blocking this" headline...grrrrrrr
Honestly, I am willing to be presuaded on this issue but I can't see what the big deal is now. Sounds like the '80s when the Japanese were buying up stuff. I'm still waiting for an answer to a question I posed in my #97 in this thread. Maybe Tony answered it:
What happens to the ports in question of the current owner can't sell? Do they close? Operate at a loss? Get a government bailout instead? Get sold to the Chinese instead?
I'd much rather take my chances with Dubai rather than Red China.
