Yep, and they run the country like a corporation, which the Abu Dhabi sheik (who is normally the one in charge of UAE) acting like a CEO, insisting on Western standards of transparency in business dealings. UAE is a very economics based country.

They have as much of a chance of stopping the sale of oil to the U.S. as the U.S. does to not buy oil from the middle east. The market just isn't structured that way. It may not be their specific oil that flows into the U.S., but the U.S. will still get its share. What you described is an empty threat. |

Makes sense doesnt it?

internal DPW email says that the company actually might NOT sell of their interests in SOME of the ports here eventhough they have stated that they would. Didnt someone ask why they would want to go against corporate stated policy earlier.
Jeez I dont understand, if their so true to the word why would they lie...why would they want to house their documents offshore? I dont get it, jeez...how could I be so wrong? man!!! I hate that. Trust me, Americans dont need to worry about Homeland Security - W so silly, they misled us. and it looks like DPW is moving forward with the deal as of today wherein they will serve as the management unless Congress steps in.

So basically this officer said we aren't going to immediately sell off the company, so for the time being P&O still half owns you, so continue doing what you do. When we do sell, it'll probably take some time. I mean obviously the email was not some insidious smoking gun, saying "A HA! We've fooled the evil Americans!", but rather attempted to guarentee that there wasn't going to be any turmoil before it was sold, which may indeed take a while. Basically, go on with business as usual, we'll handle things on the top end. It is incredible how much you are grasping at straws.

they said they wouldnt sell at a loss, (which I cant blame them since it shouldnt have gotten through so fast to be approved), and because many say they overpaid and now their held over a barrel so they wont be able to get fair market value....so they wont be able to sell under their self imposed guidelines. They SHOULDNT HAVE gotten to that point to be able to say it'll take awhile to sell....what does that mean 10 years? It is unacceptable and exactly what I stated.....SO of course, since Im right, the house will pass legislation tomorrow to stop this garbage and the Senate will cave under pressure too so that the government can stop this, liek the should have with Siphius(sp?)

So you want them to sell at a loss? I believe they actually said they would sell at fair market value. The problem is that there are NO US companies that do this sort of thing. I don't think Congress would approve them selling to a Chinese or Singaporean country which would be, at least, partially owned by the government.

its a double edged sword...they shouldnt be in this situation at all because they should still be investiaging this under Siphius...so here we are and they MUST sell, but not at fair market value because FMV at this point would be at a loss, possibly a great loss (which I dont blame them for being upset about), so in essence they actually end up getting to control our ports which Im not okay with for one day (i exaggerate therebut you get it)

You're right Flasch.
This plan to have the Arabs take over our ports makes the Halliburton No Bid Contract dealings look like they were business as usual. Oh nevermind. I'll stick with ISiddiqui's assesment. Tempest in a tea-pot. |

Flasch. This company could merrilly run all of our freaking ports for the next hundred years, and two things would happen. My safety likely wouldn't be compromised one iota, and you wouldn't ever be right, at least not on this issue.

1-4% of the containers are being looked at now, and we want to let some other country do it? We should improve it ourselves....i cant believe that people are for letting another government run our ports. it flabbergasts me, and I hope congress shuts it down...tomorrow. AND the 800 million goes to the Coast Guard.

no sir, that is not correct...the coast guard organizers security that the port management executes while the Coast Guard only becomes involved when called upon or on their own volition. I have read other than what you describe.

this must be what youre talking about:

but that only focuses on supposition, assumption, and targeted analysis. The rest IS left to those running the ports. Im not ok with that alone. They are banking so much on manifests, paperwork, trust of other port authorities, etc. Then those that run the ports are the last line of defense...that should be us.

Sorry, Flasch, these port terminal companies have nothing to do with checking the cargo. They simply move goods in and out of the port. Like in the Airports, Delta isn't responsible (or allowed) for checking every bag, the TSA is responsible for that.

this line is horse crap considering that I also heard them say that they coud not talk to DHS, or NSA, or the CIA in depth due to confidentiality reasons so the threat assessment can only be incomplete anyways:
Speaking at CFR on January 19, Deputy Secretary of the Treasury and CIFUS Chairman Robert Kimmitt said his committee does "good job of assessing the risk" of this sort of foreign investment.

Not unless the contract is for a set period of time and has limits on termination of a lease.
And wasn't the Congressional action basically a landlord getting all pissy over a sublet? But the US doesn't want to run the loading and offloading of ship and would rather leave that to private companies.

so I ask again, can we terminate he lease at any time? They port management has NOTHING to do with security or a security plans execution?
If that is true, and the site you cite is truly objective and not slanted, then I change my stance and am ok with foreign investment in the ports BUT I am still not fond of a governments control of that. Im not sure how to reconcile that in this case but I dont think governments should own ports HOWEVER it seems that it is not ownership in this case but a lease thereby if it can be broken without warning at anytime....I feel somewhat better about allowing such a proposition. I believe I would now vote ok to this, if all of the above i stated was true. Being able to break the lease at a days notice is very important to me.

welp I guess Im back to being against the Dubai ports deal if it matters, considering that it was the Coast Guard is the security anyways, rationale, that the supporters touted:
Coast Guard warns ships of inspections Spokesman: Units must balance between protection, commerce From Kathleen Koch CNN Saturday, May 20, 2006; Posted: 5:52 p.m. EDT (21:52 GMT) WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. Coast Guard sometimes alerts large commercial ships they will be searched as they approach port so as not to burden shipping companies financially, the Coast Guard acknowledged to CNN on Saturday. The New York Times first reported the story earlier in the day, saying that commanders of some ports provided up to 24 hours notice to ships to keep commerce moving. At the Port of Los Angeles/Long Beach in California, the Coast Guard gives as much notice as it can, said Lt. Tony Migliorini, a spokesman for the port. "It's kind of a balancing act," he told CNN. Commanders especially give notice of dockside safety inspections, so that shipping companies don't have their longshoremen on the dock with nothing to do until the inspection is complete, Migliorini said. Even during boardings at sea, the port typically notifies ship management in advance that the Coast Guard is coming aboard, Migliorini said. Migliorini said the Coast Guard boards vessels for a variety of security and safety reasons. Those safety reasons include cross-checking crew and cargo lists with those with the port, as well as allowing dogs to sniff for bombs and to check for radiation, officials told The New York Times. The searches can last between 30 minutes and 12 hours, the paper reported. Former Coast Guard Cmdr. Stephen Flynn, a critic of tipping off ships, told The New York Times it was counterproductive to give notice. "If you say, 'heads up, when you get close to port in two days we're going to board you,' that sort of defeats the purpose of boarding," he told the paper. The Coast Guard gives little specific information about its homeland security mission, other than that it "is at a heightened state of alert protecting more than 361 ports and 95,000 miles of coastline," according to the Coast Guard Web site. It states that in addition to protecting against the infiltration of illegal drugs, aliens, firearms and weapons of mass destruction, the Coast Guard also protects "ports, the flow of commerce, and the marine transportation system from terrorism." There are few details of the Coast Guard's port security mission, other than an explanation that its port security units are "staffed primarily with selected reservists" who "provide waterborne and limited land-based protection for shipping and critical port facilities," according to the Web site. In a statement released Saturday, Cmdr. Paul Thorne, chief of the Coast Guard's Foreign and Offshore Vessels Division, said that whether the mission is safety, security or just a random check, "this mission objective might be enhanced by the withholding of information from ship management or by the sharing of information with ship management." Notice varies from port to port The decision on whether to notify a vessel and under what circumstances is left up to the port captain, and varies from port to port, Thorne said. A Coast Guard spokesman in New York said all vessels boarded for security reasons there undergo surprise inspections, according to The New York Times. "If they're from a foreign port and trying to get into the United States, they should know they might get boarded -- without warning," Mike Lutz told the paper. However, The Times reported that though the port security chief in San Francisco, California, said vessels get notice, Capt. William J. Uberti of the port told the paper that shippers and carriers were "not supposed to have a clue" about random boardings. There are currently 45 port captains overseeing the nation's 361 ports, Coast Guard spokesman Daniel L. Temper said. Port security has been a hot topic since the furor arising over a President Bush-backed proposal in February to allow the British company P&O to transfer management operations at six ports to a UAE state-owned company, DP World. The deal was widely criticized, especially after the Coast Guard warned in a report of "intelligence gaps concerning the potential for DPW or P&O assets to support terrorist operations that precludes an overall threat assessment of the potential merger." DP World eventually relented and said it was transferring the management operations to a U.S. entity. Boarding and searching ships has always been part of the duties of the Coast Guard, even before the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Coast Guard officials say that since then, a larger percentage of the boardings are security-related.

The article states that all ships that are boarded for security inspections are "surprise inspections". So from what the article says, it seems the former employee who is hoping for "whistle-blowing" status is talking about advanced notice for safety-inspections? The article is really confusing with all the 'he said, she said' crap. In any event, DP has already diverted all it's terrorists to ports they operate in Australia and Europe and will not be on American soil. So we're safe from the 'brown people' (sic) for now.

Dutch or Duckman, I never once have raised race as an issue. Just wanted to point that out. So the % of safey inspections that could collaterally find other stuff is no longer a part of the equation. Seems silly for cops to let people know at bars where the DUI stop is on the road up the street so they can go elsewhere. My opinion, not based on coloring of the ship or the people. EDIT to add: isnt raising race or crying Racism at every turn, or whenever the news might not support your stance a cop out?

......however, when the opposition makes a point, your easy out (which Im surprised comes out of you) is racism. That is base and lack of thought, especially when the opposition (in this case - me) is open minded enough to flip flop when the facts bore fruit that I was wrong on the issue.

It certainly wasn't my easy out. I've got a lot of posts in this thread. As for refuting your post about the advanced warnings to ships. It has pretty close to zero to do with the topic at hand. It doesn't matter if an American, English, German, or Dubai company manages the ports, security doesn't change. All this post did is remind me of one of the more embarrasing things this country has done in a while. |

the security doesnt change? youre right!! It was worse than I thought to begin with before I read that article. I thought that their checks for "bad" materials were coupled with the possibility that during routine safety checks they would have their eyes open for stuff trying to be snuck through too. IOW, instead of 35 checks/day it was 35 + 22 safety checks....instead were back down to the 35. Makes sense? What trying to stop "bad" materials from getting into the country be it from crossing a border, or coming in a ship, or being shot over in a missle has anything to do with race, I dont know. I just think Americans (of any color or religion) should be responsible for the borders of America. Thats all and I think it does have something to do with this thread. however, in retrospect I will admit that on the day we all feel good about the Coast Guards' security REGARDING the checking of container ships coming in Ill be more than happy to turn over management of the ports to the Dubai company, like I was convinced of due to this particular thread.
