I have no control over what FOX or anyone else publishes about this issue. I do know that the phrase " is poised to take over significant operations at six American ports" simply means the company they are buying does a significant amount of business at the ports.

YES Americans should feel apprehensive about how this is being portrayed because it is NOT BEING PORTRAYED ACCURATELY!

My first take on this deal was ....WTH???? But my common sense told me there was no way in hell Bush would let a foreign company 'take over' security at our ports! So I had to spend some time getting to the truth of the matter which is simply, the UAE is buying an existing company that has done business at our ports for some time and NOTHING will change from the way this company has been doing port business.

After his stance on security at the Mexican border, I'm not so sure. This is going to RUIN my record as a "Bushbot!" ;)
