I would have little if any issue with GB, Canada or Australia running a port system in the US. These our countries that in the past have stood beside the US, regardless of how idiotic some of our motives were. That is loyalty. When a country has soldiers dieing in the arms of your soldiers, that is loyalty.

Here is my top list of "areas" or countires that shouldn't touch the US port system:

- China
- Saudi Arabia
- Yemen
- Qatar
- UAE
- Egypt
- Anyone on the Horn of Africa
- France


I also don't want to hear admin. staffers coming on the news telling me "security procedures are in place". We can't even investigate 90% of the cargo coming in when GB runs the port, you're telling me we can investigate more when Dubai has it? The fact of the matter is, when at war and generally hated by the middle-east, it isn't the best plan of action to sell out your commerce to it. It makes me sick that this wouldn't have received as much notice had governors , yes governors , taken issue with it. Congress is just as asleep at the helm as the current administration.
