I'm flattered that your post was composed with me in mind, but I must admit I'm not really sure why. All I've said is the administration's decision to go ahead with a deal involving US strategic assets & a country with questionable affiliations in the Middle of a War on Terror troublesome on its face, and at the very least politically problematic.

BTW, you obviously know more than the average person on the subject. If you're really interested in changing minds why not try being a little less obnoxious?

I have no intention on changing anyone's mind. That's not anythign I have control over.

What I have intended was to provide some very specific facts on how the ports actually work, instead of these vague overreaching statements that a LOT of people are saying that have no basis in reality.

What someone makes of those facts is up to them.
