Actually the big picture is simple. DP World bin on a contract and won. They were vetted using the same process all such previous contracts were vetted.

In this position DP World will simply provide the same services in these ports that they currently provide our military forces in the war on terror.

DP World will have absolutely no operational control of any U.S. port or it's security, they will manage commercial concerns within some U.S. ports under the same rules and regulations as all the rest of the foreign owned providers.

There is nothing unusual in this deal. The process worked...and some individuals with a political agenda are manufacturing a non-crisis from it.

Actually it's pretty simple.

I guess you're able to understand "simple" better than I am. The DP World deal is not the big picture.

Sorry, you may be very knowledgeable about port/cargo/whatever operations, but I am not content to take your word as an authoritative source. I want to hear a thorough explanation from my leader.

If only you would direct your fire on the looney left, instead of a fellow conservative (who voted for Bush twice and gave significant contributions to both of the President's campaigns) and veteran of more than 20 years on active duty in the US armed forces.

You're right, come to think of it--it IS pretty simple.
