So true. They HAD forty-five days and not even a week goes by and they do THIS? What ever happened to making sure this was bad or good?

I'd be mad too, if I were DPW.

Which American company is taking over the terminals or will they just remain empty? Any thoughts anyone?

Well, what I can't figure out is what the HECK is with Dubai. Yeah, Congress is full or utter morons. So what else is new. It shouldn't come as a surprise. What on earth is Dubai thinking to get its collective shorts in a knot so publicly?

I'll buy that for a dollar.

Seriously, so what? So, they sell their interests. And...............what. Someone else will buy them. It isn't like these incredible ports are suddenly worthless. On the contrary.

This is akin to:

"I am not the stinky poo poo! YOU are the stinky poo poo! I am taking my bike and going home!"

Yeah, these people have been insulting UAE for a solid month then when this happens they grumble, "Some friends". Typical brainless children.

OK, cue Halliburton.

This should have happened in the first place. I can't imagine why they were not invited to bid.

Of course, both the republicans and socialist democrats in congress will not be accusing anyone of "racial profiling" in making this decision will they? Remember, it is not racial profiling unless republicans are against it and dems for it.

Congress went into Political Panic Mode and made it a total mess!

Be reasonable. Are you saying Congress touched something, and then it got FUBAR'd?

Is it really necessary to bother posting such an obvious statement? 8*(

No friends of ours??? What the hell does that mean. They are divesting themselves of US port ownership which was what the whole debate was about. Why is this a bad thing? Makes perfect sense to me and it is not an unreasonable or offensive action.

Well, Congress anyway. And Dubai, too, it looks like.

Perhaps they should reject antisemitism if they wish to be considered an A-list nation.
