Dubai Firm Accused of Breaking Pledge to Divest Itself of U.S. Port Operations
[...]
Eller & Co., now a partner with DP World in a Miami operation after DP bought out a British firm last week, shared an e-mail that said the Arab company's sale of U.S. assets "would probably take a while."

The e-mail from Robert Scavone, a vice president for the port company now owned by DP World, also told managers in Miami to assume for now "ownership … is not going to change."

And now we come to our beloved politicians and their take.
Dems:

"It is the American people's understanding that Dubai Ports World promised to relinquish control of all U.S. ports," Schumer told the AP on Monday. "If that is not the case, we will move our legislation immediately and force them to do just that."

Repubes:

"I don't see how the deal would have to be canceled" Frist said."

At this point I generally feel compelled to deliver some snark, or at least have a pithy comment, but the above, while SOP for Bushco, is just another example of the depressing 'business as usual' for this misAdministration (sigh.)
