I am actually against arabs operating US ports

Do you know anything about what goes on in operating US ports?

What exactly are the negative implications of a UAE-based company taking over the contract for the operations at the 6 ports?

Will any additional non-US staff be working on US soil as a result of the contract transfer from the British company to the Dubai-based company?

re: I am actually against arabs operating US ports but you, libs, should be all for it.

In this case I am for it. What are you, a anti-Arab racist?

re: After all you all scream that Israeli's restrictions on SA buying Israeli land is undemocratic

Which "you all" are you talking about, I've never said anything about anyone buying anything is Israel.

"All a terrorist organization needs to do is find a single weak link within a 'trusted' shipper's complex supply chain, such as a poorly paid truck driver taking a container from a remote factory to a port. They can then gain access to the container in one of the half-dozen ways well known to experienced smugglers."
