Dubai Ports challenge

Dubai Ports World tells Congress to go to hell

That is my interpretation of the following paragraph from tomorrow's Washington Post story:

DP World officials suggested yesterday that within days, Peninsular & Oriental's operations will belong to them, no matter what Congress does.

No matter what Congress does? Oh, they really don't understand American politics if they think they can throw a challenge like that at the US Congress, and the American people, and it won't be answered. These are people who ignore entire paragraphs of the US Constitution, and you think they can't scuttle your ports deal?

Bad move, people.

I don't have as much faith in Congress as Americablog does. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Congress just rolls over and says "whatever you say! We know you're pals with bush!"
We shall see....
