They gotta be kidding . . UAE to run ports?

I haven't found much in print on the story of the United Arab Emirates taking over some NYC ports. Anybody got some details?

Not to worry, the Chinese own all the ports on the west coast and they are doing a fine job... a fine job of taking over the U.S. economy that is.

From what I hear, they have excellent Airport security and Amnesty International hates them. If Amnesty International hates you, you have my vote!

Been all over the news on this side of the pond about them buying the ferries and such in the UK. Believe they just spent something like $7 billion bux to outbid the next highest bidder...

Our paying $2.50 a gallon at work...
