The dopey Washington insiders and apologists like Rush have all said the same thing, there are no American companies that can run a terminal, so how did the USA develop the Manhattan project in WWII? There were demonstrably no companies that had any experience enriching Uranium and building a bomb but somehow DuPont and other companies managed to get the work done. So, based on the first sentence of the post, should the USA find ourselves in trouble and the only company that could produce, say the weapons of war are our enemy (like exactly what is happening right now with respect to Asia) then we should just resign ourselves to being defeated?

I say, if GWB doesn't backtrack on this, allow a 45 day period for review and testimony, and only then make a decision, then I say he should be brought up on charges. Impeach him. And I BTW, am a supporter of the GOP and GWB, but this can't stand.

Short answer: "cost plus fee contract."

Port operators don't get those.

The problem is that American companies start off at a disadvantage in the global market for ANYTHING because we are (I believe) the only country crazy and stupid enough to tax a company based here on ALL of its income worldwide, instead of just its domestic income.

"Impeach" on what grounds specifically - remember the Constitution states: "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."
