Then why is Eller & Company opposed? They are the stevedor company in partnership with Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Co. and are based in Miami.

Firm sues to block foreign port takeover

Dubai firm set to take charge of 6 U.S. ports

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.

Even if true, (which I doubt) it's a non issue. We don't want muslim terrorists involved in any measure (just on paper or not) with our ports. Why for idiots? Because our ports and our borders are critcial to our national security.

It takes an idiot not to get this...it takes an islamofascist to promote it.

Have fun.
