Fact is it's more about political battles and "bastionism" than it is ever about issues at stake. That port's deal would have made the state sponsored emirati freight firm the biggest in the world, and that was disturbing someone with lots of lobbying power. And finally Rush knows as much about free market and world affairs as Britney Spears knows about prime zeta function.
I agree Rush Limbaugh is an idiot. But I am a democrat and damn proud of it so I hate him. Anyway I doubt you theory of a lobbying conspiracy was the main reason for the Dubai contract falling through. If that were so then George W Bush, the worlds largest corporate ass kisser would have been against it. But let's say your theory is correct who in the US has the amount of power to sway almost the entire US Congress? And yes I do know that a British company controlled the ports before being bought by Dubai.

Yeah I just saw that on John Stewart.
