It is the commencement of a battle. I suspect Dubai Ports are not going to sit on their hands. Shareholders will get more at the end of the day.

The incompetent handling of the Dubai Ports deal was just the tip of the iceberg. Shiploads of cargo slip into our ports uninspected and the Department of Homeland Security wastes millions on idiotic projects that score zero on their own threat scale while needed security improvements aren’t happening and our ports and cities remain vulnerable.

A lot of this reaction to Dubai ports came from Republicans. We are going to have problems no matter who wins in the elections this year.

Empires rose and fell, and still the speaker droned on in his cicada-like monotony...

I have not been contacted by anyone about this. I am not a suspect.

This is not unlike what is happening at many U.S. ports.
