How is the Bush administration supposed to stop two NON-AMERICAN owned companies from consumating this business transaction (in which America holds no legal authority)?

So in your view, even though they're our ports, we have no say when it comes to who runs them.

Better hope bin Laden doesn't buy a controlling interest in DPW, then.

Please read my post #63. Why do you assume I am in favor of this newly merged company running port operations?

BTW, NO ONE is taking over OUR ports! Become informed. You are on the right side of the argument (concerned about security), but you need to KNOW the facts to argue correctly. Contracts may need to be cancelled, and an AMERICAN company chosen to run port operations. What we have no business doing, is stopping what appears to be a legitimate International business deal. We just DO NOT have to do business with them, if security is threatened.
