Bush isn't getting a dime from the UAE based DWI buying the British P&O company. The UAE isn't buying our ports. They can't. They're buying a British operations company that conducts operations at the ports such as off-loading containers, etc. The ports still belong to the US. And any of the ports can opt to use a different operating company other than P&O if they're not comfortable with the DWI buy-out. This is one of the most misrepresented stories in years. We can argue I guess that it's not good to have a UAE-based company taking over port operations from this British company, but let's be accurate about what's going on. And by the way, American employees of P&O will continue to work at the ports that decide to keep the DWI operating company in place.

Being in favor of this as you apparently are, perhaps you'd like to argue why it's GOOD to have a UAE-based company taking over port operations?
