Another article on the ports controversy that keeps heating up.
Incidentally, no one has mentioned that Dubai Ports will probably do a
better job than P&O when it
comes to operating cruise terminals:

Also nobody has mentioned that they are taking over the CONTRACT
to run the place and will be subject to the same requirements that
P&O was.

infinite number of shotgun rounds at an infinite number of
highway signs,eventually producing all the world's great

The country was an operational base by 9/11 hijackers (not all) but,

"AHHH WHAT THEE HELL!!!"

They have recognized the Taliban and in the past had ties to al-Quaida.

"OHH WHAT THEE HELL!!"

Let them take over our country, India and China have.
