"I agree with you 199%, but I am yet to here of any American company, or Government entity that could run the ports. DHS or FEMA? Perhaps the Navy, but not on this scale. I'm against the deal, but would like to know the consequences."
According to the Dubai-first crowd, the port operations will be run by the same folks regardless. No big deal about who 'collects the profit,' right? Let's let Wal-Mart run `em! /sarc
Seriously--though the above effectively refutes the 'it-doesn't-matter-who-runs-them-the-same-folks-will-work-there' line--I don't know, either. But I would reckon that at least some American private company would take `em over quick if the sale was sweetened by an additional government check. I don't want a mess in the ports, either.
Since they probably own 50% of the cargo being offloaded, thats not a bad idea!
