Uh Mr. Sanborn has worked for many different shipping companies, his latest employment was for DPWorld, but that doesn't matter to you, there is good knee jerk rant to be had.
BTW, here is a synopsis of Mr. Sanborn's appoitment from a shipping trade site.
Hearing Held on David Sanborn Nomination as Maritime Administrator
On Tuesday, February 7, t he Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee conducted a hearing on the nomination of David Sanborn to become the next Administrator of the Maritime Administration.
Mr. Sanborn, a graduate of the Merchant Marine Academy, has extensive experience in the industry from both a shore-based port operational perspective and in management positions with then- Sea-Land Service, Inc. and American President Lines. During his confirmation hearing, Mr. Sanborn pledged to call upon these experiences as he approaches the problems and opportunities of the U.S.-flag maritime industry.
Senators Allen (R-VA), Lott (R-MS) Stevens (R-AK) and Inouye (D-HI) stressed the need for the Maritime Administration to assume a proactive leadership role to address the needs of the industry. In his prepared statement, Mr. Sanborn stated that “if I am confirmed I will take this opportunity to play a leadership role in bringing our U.S.-flag fleet back to the preeminence it once enjoyed and to expand upon our domestic cargo carrying capability.”
The Committee will markup the nomination of Mr. Sanborn at a date yet to be announced
"Uh Mr. Sanborn has worked for many different shipping companies, his latest employment was for DPWorld, but that doesn't matter to you, there is good knee jerk rant to be had. "
So far, you have only told us that Sanborn is an expert. OK, I'll buy that. His latest employment was with DP World. We knew that.
That, Dane, is the issue. That you do not see a conflict of interest issue here...never mind the Sharia connection...is alarming to me. Of course, you're no more an expert on these things than any of the rest of us, or you would have laid out your expertise.
I don't like DP Worlds acquisition. I don't like the appointment of Sanborn, either. I especially don't like the linkage between the two.
It's not knee-jerk, and your name-calling is just tiresome and not contributing to the discussion. Tell us why Sanborn is the best choice and tell us why his position at DP World doesn't matter. If you can't tell us that, then what on earth can you tell us?
