Many Folks Wish to Nix the Dubai City Port Deal

Many Folks Wish to Nix the Dubai City Port Deal
By Lance Winslow

After the media tornado and political power grab over the Dubai World port operation deal it appears numerous are up in arms. Most of those that protest the deal have no idea as to what they are discussing. Few of them have ever even viewed port operations in action and even been to a port. Recently a Political Blog writer asked; "Wouldn't that make us dependent on them for every little thing that came in and from America?" with regards to Dubai World.

The short answer is No. No it would not. If you suggest suppose they [Dubai World] purposefully triggered traffic jams and thus hurt our economic situation? Well I have a question for you after that; "Oh you mean like our own Longshoremen unions when they went on strike in CA right?" You see those are Americans and they screwed us a lot worse bear in mind? As industry was approximated at shedding some 1 Billion Dollars daily from that strike by Longshoremen and their strike was because they did not want to have a computer system executed, they wanted $100,000 per year "unioned employees" to inspect every container using a clip board keep in mind.

That would certainly have injured port safety a lot extra if we had stuck with the old system. And some believe that a simple slide of the hand and containers with contraband were certainly making it through previously. Just how quickly we ignore that concern. And who do you think is causing all this commotion this moment? The exact same Longshoreman in addition to Senator Clinton and Shewman, that apparently had press releases in hand informing us that Dubai World was "purchasing 6 ports" no, incorrect they are mosting likely to operate numerous port operations under agreement? The Left power grab and incited unions trying to make waves, political elections should be turning up and someone is aiming to look as if they are lead front-runners on the War on Fear over the Republican politician Party. This is all totally national politics. Consider this in 2006.
