You claim your opposition to DPW buying OPB was national security, why then haven't you been screaming for all foreign operators to likewise be forced out, this change would not have affected our security one iota. DPW operates terminals that ship to the US, the company already possesses any information that is required to bring items here as for infiltrating workers, they'd have a better chance of taking over the union than trying to replace current workers with agents from the Middle East. I might be able to understand all this if this was the very first time a foreign company was attempting this but for me this is 30 years too late.
The state on state war is not obsolete IMO and I am afraid the way the Army is being changed a real war is going to be much bloodier for this country that it had to be. I don't think there was this much outcry concerning the China-Unocal deal and we have actually exchanged gunfire with Chinese the last thing I exchanged with anyone in the UAE was Durhams (sp?) or Dinars at the Gold Souk

RE: "why then haven't you been screaming for all foreign operators"

Actually, I did, a long time ago. There are a number of exposures, at present, in need of discussion. Both in terms of ownership by hostile states or potentially hostile states and in terms of supply chain risk.
