Mark Foley of Florida is another opponent of this deal. He was responsible for killing the plan to drill off the shore of the continental US as well as ANWR. Has anyone thought that maybe he might have some undisclosed interest in killing this deal too?
The cynical side of me says that these politicians are trying to kill the deal because they have another shipping conglomerate among their campaign contributors that wants to acquire P&O Ports for less than the $6.8 billion that the UAE company is offering.
