So are you saying that you lied about security concerns because you oppose any foreign investments in principle?
It wasn't a case of "needing" any foreign investment anyway. This was a service business that previously was operated by the Brits -- other "foreignors". If new owners could run it more efficiently, more power to them. But it wasn't a case of some U.S. business being sold off.
Personally, I think the better argument is that rejection of htis deal has made us less secure, which is the biggest reason I didn't want to see it killed.
If this makes us less secure in a former Marine's eye, then I need to remind the former Marine that I learned all I needed to know about arabs on 9/11. I still do not like the Brits owning the ports, but their citizens in general, don't want to see our destruction. Muslims do. And while there are most upper end Arabs who want a serious business relationship with us, not far below them are the arabs who want us destroyed.
No...
