Halliburton Eyed for Dubai Ports Deal

That's right: Halliburton. And you know what? Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) has already blessed it! As NewsMax quotes:
I'd take Halliburton over U.A.E. at this point, if I had to take a choice right now.
That's what Charles Schumer actually said on February 20, on national television.

Be careful what you wish for, Senator. You might just wind up with it. How do you like it?

Actually, I'd feel better with Allied International Development--if they exist--building their off-shore robotic physical inspection facility that could scan every container for radiation while still on a ship at sea. But I, too, would take Halliburton, which at least is an American firm, over a firm from any other country.
