I'm waiting for the story like this from the LA-Slimes detailing the Chi-commies role at the port of LA...

The Saudi's have commercial port operations in the U.S. as well. Now if we can only link Walmart and Haliburton to this it would get fun.

You mean Long Beach? Congress deep-sixed that brilliant idea of Clinton's in the 105th.

"Unlike the private sector British company that previously operated the terminals at the six ports — New York, Miami, New Orleans, Baltimore, New Jersey, and Philadelphia — Dubai Ports World is owned entirely by the United Arab Emirates, a foreign government ruled by a monarchy," he said.

China owns ports here and so does singapore.

There are about 300 misconceptions about this deal that have been hammered to take bush down.

Wow, I was mistaken. SSA Marine, and not COSCO runs the COSCO ports. Thanks for making me do my homework.

Stir it up: SSA Mexico Holdings, S.A. de C.V., a newly formed subsidiary of FSC, acquired the interest in TMM Puertos y Terminals ("TMMPyT") from Transportacion Maritima Mexicana ("TMM"). TMMPyT is now a 100% owned subsidiary of FSC. TMMPyT includes port operations in Manzanillo, Veracruz, Cozumel and Progreso, Mexico.

PSA Singapore is also state owned, as is COSCO.

Yep. Duncan Hunter, whose district includes Long Beach, led the effort.

I so wish Walmart would announce that they've decided to venture into commercial port operations and will now bid on these ports.

Walmart, Halliburton, ExxonMobil, Maersk/Sea-Land, and COSCO could come out and announce a joint effort. Walmart could say in their press release "we see a need to diversify into other areas, and this multi-partied joint venture just seems right".
