Well after reading your links, and reading some on what investigations have taken place, I can see why Presidential powers have NOT been used to stop this transaction. I can see foreign companies ceasing to do business (inside of the US) over this. buchanan would be thrilled, but our economy would shrink to that of a Luxembourg.

No, what needs to be done is that if security threats occur due to this transaction, we need these 6 American ports to find new companies to run them. Contracts can be modified or canceled. This is the proper course of action, not one in which legitimate foreign investment is threatened (by the FED). That is the Cuban/Soviet model!

You seem to have forgotten that we are at war.

During war, the course of action should be to do what is in the best interest of our National Security. Having Port contracts, and/or operations, run by a foreign country is not in our best interest.

You want to wait for another 9/11?

That may be good enough for you but I have a problem with this.
