Some of you folks don't understand this.

DPW has agreed to transfer to a US company as yet undetermined control of the ports that DPW would have controlled.

This is not an anti-American action by Dubai.

In fact, it is a VERY PRO-ADMINISTRATION move. This is a way out for the president and initiated by the company itself.

DPW is doing a GOOD thing for American relations here, not a bad thing meant to hurt us like some of you seem to be thinking.

Good points. Too many emotional people ready to attack when they dont get their way.

The sky is not falling (today)

Hello,

Thank you for your excellent points. When I heard about this today, I thought the same. If the UAE is interested in long term economic growth (which I believe they are), this move is smart one. And yes, it is a PRO-Administration move, not only for public perception, but to shut down the potential of Bush using his veto pen against (some) of his own party. The Old Media was REALLY looking forward to that!!
