Put down the Kool-Aid. Republicans are against the deal also. was against the deal long before I heard about Clinton wanting it stopped. Bush is going to kill this deal, then you all will have come up with a Kool-Aid drinking rationalization as to why you don't support DP World manging ports.
The U.S. Federal Government handles "national security". That would include the ports. The company in question will take the containers off the ships only when given permission by the Federal Government and they will put the containers on trucks only when given permission. The foreign company doesn't handle "National Security". That is misinformation.
Take your Kool-Aid and sit on it.
The committee earlier agreed to consider concerns about the deal as expressed by a Miami-based company, Eller & Co., according to Eller's lawyer, Michael Kreitzer. Eller is a business partner with the British shipping giant but was not in the running to buy the ports company.

You don't think managing the international shipping containers in America's busiest ports has anything to do with National Security? Well you obviously agree with the people who decided to hand that task over to a state that has ties to international terroism and nuclear weapons proliferation.
Do you think the government is going to be looking over their shoulder when they are inspecting containers? The US Government might authorize a container of cell phones from Indonesia, and this company might say it received a container of cell phones. But the container might actually contain a nuclear weapon. We cannot place that much trust in a company owned by the UAE.
