I oppose this deal because this is not a private company, but a government owned company and although it may be friendly to us today, that part of the region seems extremely vulnerable to extremist Islamist elements taking it over.
I oppose this deal also because of how it was attempted to be rammed down everyone's throats. I see nothing wrong with a 45 day review with all the facts on the table.
In the war against terror, as in other precarious situations, it is better to err on the side of caution.
I would prefer to see only U.S. companies and the U.S. government invlolved in running our ports. If we announce this as an official policy, than no country has a right to be offended.
I doubt it was intended to be "rammed" down anyone's throat; more likely just consdiered a routine business transaction.
Personally I think there will be an improvment in operations and probably security as well.
