Whether the sale violated that contract I don't know, but this is clearly a contract case and nothing more.
Contract broken? Give the contract to an American firm then.
That is the biggest load of crap I have read on this site in a long time. The port security of this country is important to the lives of every American. The lives of our family members rest on the security of our ports of entry. I refuse to bet the lives of my family on lawyers and contract law.
I've seen what "strictly business" has done to America. With every purchase at Wal-Mart we are funding the continued enslavement of a billion people in China by a murdering regime of thugs who run over their own unarmed people with tanks for the crime of wanting to speak freely.
It's always interesting to me how the most vile crimes on earth have been rationalized as "just business."
Yahoo censors Chinese Internet access so they can "do business" with murderers running China.
Saudi Arabia is our "oil business partner" who makes it a crime for American Christians to even worship freely in that country. We deny Jesus Christ, our Savior, in the name of business with Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is the haven for the worst snakes of violent Islam and we fear even speaking of it for fear of hurting "business."
Illegal immigration is destroying our culture and sovereignty. It is bankrupting our hospitals. It is an enormous burden upon our schools, our government agencies, our law enforcement and our prisons. Nothing is done about this massive, organized criminal enterprise because illegal immigration is "good for business."
The American people should rise up and demand that our "business" is our security and we won't sell our souls, our faith, our sovereignty, our ports or our culture in the name of business.
We won't deny our Savior. We won't jeopardize our security. We won't destroy our culture. We won't sell our heritage. We won't do any of this in the name of business. We should demand an accounting of, and a brutal reckoning with, business executives who are selling out everything we hold dear.
We should make it our business to kick the asses of these traitors out of our beloved country before we are the prisoners, slaves or dead victims of their business partners.
Not entirely.
The committee earlier agreed to consider concerns about the deal as expressed by a Miami-based company, Eller & Co., according to Eller's lawyer, Michael Kreitzer. Eller is a business partner with the British shipping giant but was not in the running to buy the ports company.
