    But I think there's still some way for this tide to go out before it even starts to turn!!! It may slow down a tad but turn, not just yet!

    The UAE withdrew it application today because the US congress would not accept new proposed terms of operation. The UAE tried to assure congress that a certain percentage of upper management of the US ports would be US citizens, but that was not enough.

    I'd like to thank the members of congress for standing up for us, both the D's and the R's who worked together.
