That's cool with me. Personally, I am neither upset nor celebratory about this outcome. This has been a tough issue.

I am verrrrry displeased with our Republican congressmen on this. They had no interest in looking at the facts - and now the administration looks powerless, the people look racist, the nations who thought they were our friends will question whether or not that is true.

The damage is irreversable. al Queda looks wise to tell the other Arabs not to trust the U.S. - China is wondering what about their port operations in the U.S.

Big plus for al Queda and China and Iran and Hamas and North Korea. Big loss for intelligence operations, foreign policy and the war on terror.

It was never a fiscal issue to me - it was always about national security.

There was no rational reason to be opposed to the port deal.

All the opposition was based on feeling, that the facts simply did not support.

Some of that 'feeling' is unfortunately quite evident on this thread.........and it's pretty ugly.
