No he isnt. I swear, what is it with some of you?

I want someone to tell me how the UAE OWNING these ports, with the same damm people running them, is such a bad thing? These people are rolling in dough, which makes them LESS likely targets for corruption, as opposed to some poor conglomerate which would be less likely to afford the proper security measures?

A lot of knee-jerk myopia on the loose about this issue.

what's the difference, a UAE controlled company will OPERATE these ports. who cares if they own the docks and the terminals, they will control the use of them. they can filter their own operatives into managment ranks, people who make decisions on what moves through the ports, who docks, etc. that's the problem.

Keep telling yourself that and believe it but you won't sell me on it. Remember OBL is a rich man too but that didn't stop him from doing 911.

That's been the typical reaction around here on many subjects for the past couple years. Headline commentators are a dime a dozen.

Corruption? Are you really that out of tune?...Who gives a $hit about corruption?

[WoofDog123]

this reminds me a lot of the outcry and blatant disinformation about the Hutchinson-Whampoa leases on 2 ports in panama (balboa and cristobal). I frequently read on fr references to china owning, buying having bought, the canal, and even read about the thousands of chinese troops, etc. I suspect much the same is going on here.

It's a mute point anyway, Congress ain't gonner let this go through, period.
