Now, where do we find a US company that can manage the terminals? Make it a gov't function? And should they take over the terminals now managed by Hong Kong, Singapore and Denmark?
UAE has the last laugh, all right.

The UAE company would never have let the U.S. controversy derail the deal. The U.S. port operations were a very small component of the $6.8 billion acquisition. DPW was primarily interested in the P&O operations in Europe, India, and Australia.

This ain't over. I think this is just starting. There will be such a backlash and future issues resulting from this that it will occupy and delay congress from acting on other more important issues.

What happened to the 45 day review that was agreed upon?

NYTimes page one top right sub head today: "Leases to Run Terminals will be Transferred to a U.S. Entity." Have we been seeing the word "leases"? I've been reading and hearing (except here) that the UAE was going to OWN the entire PORTS?

Paragraph one includes the far less volatile expression "seeking to manage some terminal operations at six American ports." Ah, the MSM, it wasn't trying to mislead us now, was it?
