They are not moving the port over there. They are not going to resettle their population over here in the port. It will be run by the same people as it is now (US workers!).
That country already has some of the best security checks at it's ports around the world. Call the US Navy and ask them how they feel about visiting the port (Dubai) in UAE.
People are not looking at this rationally.

You may be right...you may not. Nevertheless, it's a dumb move politically. It LOOKS bad. It gives the dems fodder that most people will agree with.

Your comment is on the money. I have been to the Dubai port with 3 MEU's. The security at this port was better than Singapore, Hongkong, and Perth Australia. From experience I have no problem with this deal. The UEA will only be running operations (load/offload, andaccounting) they will not be running security. The only problem I have is why isn't there an Americam company that can do this?
