United Arab Emigrates Company to take over 6 US Ports

This is the story.

Don't sound quite right to me.

As a citizen of the USA.

I don't think I want our ports being watched over by a foreign based corporation, whether Arab or whatever.

It is all about the money and greed, ain't it.
Just like Syriana.

This is the story from CNN. Lets see what the Times says tomorrow.

The Port of Newark, New Jersey, shown here, is one of the facilities affected by the deal.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush on Monday faced political pressure to block a deal that would give a United Arab Emirates-based company management of six major U.S. seaports.

The deal -- which will affect the ports of New York and New Jersey; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Baltimore, Maryland; Miami, Florida; and New Orleans, Louisiana -- has triggered security concerns among some members of Congress and the public.

and blah it goes on.

Jersey always wiggles her way in there.
