About Dubai Waterfront DVD

But there had been ups and down in the relationship between two countries and they were not always the same. Once the famous Dubai Ports World Controversy rocked the US. For those who are interested in knowing about this famous controversy, Dubai Waterfront DVD provides ample information on the issue.

It is a full 60 minutes video which gives information of the many faces of the controversy and also about the different opinions of the US politicians on the subject. This video should be watched by everyone who is interested in knowing about the controversy in particular and the thinking of the US politicians in general.

Dubai Ports World controversy created a lot of political turmoil in the US. The controversy saw the great political fight between the President of the US and the Congress.

After the acquisition of P&O company by the Dubai major the operations of the six major ports of US were to be transferred from the British owned firm to Dubai Ports World, a company controlled by the Dubai government. A debate started in the US over the security aspects of the American ports.

The critics said that the management of the ports by a UAE company may open the doors for infiltration by the terrorists from the Arab countries.  But they forgot the fact that the DP World had retained the work force of the British company and followed the same rules and regulations as were followed  by the British company. In fact only the ownership of the company changed but the staff was the same as employed by the British company. Therefore most of the analysts concluded that the Dubai Ports controversy in the US was more due to the already tense relations between the US President Bush and the Congress and had nothing to do with the realities.

The assumption behind the arguments of the critics was that with the transfer of responsibility of management of the ports to a company which was owned by a Muslim country may lead to another terror attack on the pattern of 9/11. Some experts felt that lot of confidential information about the movement of cargo from these ports may reach into the hands of the terrorists through the new Dubai government owned company.

 Another question raised in this connection was whether the Bush administration was spending enough money on the security of the ports and whether the Department of Homeland Security which failed miserably during the Hurricane Katrina can be trusted in the matter of security of ports.

All these facts and some other very good facts about the controversy have been provided in the Dubai waterfront DVD. The DVD provides a peep into the security scenario of the DVD ports. The video shows that the US security on the ports cannot check everything coming to or going out from these ports. The video tell about the shortage of staff on the US ports  and points out towards the consequences of the relaxations in security of the US ports.
