"President Bush yesterday strongly defended an Arab company's attempt to take over the operation of seaports in Baltimore and five other cities, threatening a veto if Congress tries to kill a deal his administration has blessed.
Facing a sharp bipartisan backlash, Bush took the unusual step of summoning reporters to the front of Air Force One to condemn efforts to block a firm from the United Arab Emirates from purchasing the rights to manage ports that include those in New York and New Orleans."

I believe this is an unwise decision, to allow a UAE group control over our national ports. Ports should be in the hands of americans only. However, this will probably go ahead as scheduled. Bush knows where the money is.
