The Ports Thing
In case you still have signficant concerns over the acquisition of P&O by Dubai Ports World. Here's a handy reference sheet courtesy of Dennis the Peasant. I'm glad the issue was re-examined, and I am reassured that DPW was willing to put off the merger for six months until folks here in the U.S. were comfortable with t he transaction.
I am also sick, so I haven't-- and won't-- post much today and maybe tomorrow, but a question did occur to me. Do you think Hillary, Chuck Schumer and the many Daily Kos readers who have decried the need to have foreign owned corporations running terminals at our ports would be any happier if the only U.S. company capable of running those terminals was Halliburton?
Just wondering.

Since you mentioned Hillary, how long do you think it will take until the MSM asks her to comment on this one?
Bill Clinton, former US president, advised top officials from Dubai two weeks ago on how to address growing US concerns over the acquisition of five US container terminals by DP World.
It came even as his wife, Senator Hillary Clinton, was leading efforts to derail the deal.
Mr Clinton, who this week called the United Arab Emirates a “good ally to America”, advised Dubai’s leaders to propose a 45-day delay to allow for an intensive investigation of the acquisition, according to his spokesman.
