As I said, you have no clue about those operations...just like port operations in general.
So, we should just take the word of our betters, eh?
Not necessarily picking up on the history of the thread leading to this statement, but do you?
Based on what I've picked up from Tony Snow, DPW is nothing more than a glorified bookkeeper in all of this. Somehow I have a hard time believing that they have no more authority than to simply write out paychecks and keep payroll stats for the longshoremen.
And if that is the case, they're trying to convince us that no American firm (or true ally firm) can make money on such a contract? I refuse to believe that.
To date, I haven't heard anyone clearly detail exactly what DPW would do in their role in this deal. NO ONE! Knowing the particulars would certainly either validate the fears of those concerned or very quickly come up with a vindication from all the criticism.
Isn't the contract available?
