This fabulous Administration has to tap telephones of U.S. Citizens to "protect" us from terrorist attack but turns our ports over to UAE terrorist supporters.

In fact, many of the 9/11 hijackers transited through the UAE, and a significant amount of al-Qaeda cash came through UAE-based accounts. If they run their own country's borders so poorly, why would we trust them to run ours? The White House needs to deep-six this deal, or cancel the contracts and re-bid them. Putting our ports in the hands of Arab authoritarians isn't just putting the fox in charge of the henhouse, it's tantamount to cooking him eggs for breakfast every morning and bringing him KFC for supper every night.
Captains Quarters has most of the gory, and I do mean gory, details.

The UAE port company hired better lobbyists, that's the difference.
