President Bush and his advisors. I count them. And sans any solid argument, I discount the views of those who have to run for re-election every two or six years and see this as a way of making political hay. And other than saying it's bad politics, you still haven't provided a good argument against the deal. If the UAE company doesn't get the deal, it'll most likely be a firm from Hong Kong or Singapore. I can't see how either is necessarily better than UAE.
the security concerns are the basis for the opposition. you refuse to believe those are even possible, so what's to talk about.
