Here is a little statement that I made on Feb 21st- "The economic benefits of allowing UAE government ownership of port operations have not been made clear. My concern is that the owners of the port operations will determine that cost cutting measures are important. Why pay Longshoreman wages, when there are UAE citizens that will do the exact same thing for less money? These will simply become "jobs that Americans won't do". I do not advocate pulling the plug on the whole deal. I do desire open discussion, and propose divested interest of US port facility operations. If the UAE really needs to run these, they should have no problem establishing a legitimate US business. It would only be "fair"." http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-backroom/1582942/posts?page=1614#1614

You know better than this. Or you should. It was establised beyond any doubt that DPW was in management, seven levels removed from any onsite position. The longshoremen that are there now would have, and will be, the same men.
