Well, not quite. I posted the following comment over at Saheli's blog a couple of weeks ago.
...The bigger irony of it all, it seems to me, that DPW does not really care all that much whether they get to run American port terminals or not. Their stated business goal is acquiring P&O is that they want to expand DPW's operations in countries where business is booming and is expected to grow rapidly viz. East Asia (read China) and South Asia (read India). I would not be surprised if DPW found someone else to get rid of the american port terminal part of their business.
Not so fast guys...just because an Arab government makes an announcement doesn't mean it's necessarily so...
