Just give shieks a chance

The administration will give Congress more time in which to be convinced to support the UAE ports deal, but the decision will stand. I guess it's because there is no other terminal management company in the whole wide world, let alone the US, which can perform the job of handling the 21 (not the originally-reported six) terminals on the Atlantic & Gulf coasts.

Reminds me of when someone I know wrote an eloquent letter to INS in behalf of the lovely young Polish (or Thai?) woman who cleaned her house. She exaggerated a teeny bit and made it sound as if the young woman was the only person available who could prepare the special diet she required... since i know the "special diet" consisted, pretty much, of edibles in the category of "food," I'm guessing there might've been someone else equipped to prepare the meals, but she was a nice young woman and everyone liked her and she really wanted that green card. So no one thought anything of it, because otherwise she was going to have to leave the country.

W. thinks the united arab emirs are really nice guys (for brown guys) and that they're entitled to have the chance that running 21 US terminals will give 'em for their shot at the American Dream. I guess.
