Too bad the White House did such a bumbling job on this whole debacle, they have only themselves to blame. One of the main jobs of an effective president is explaining and promoting policy to the American people. Bush gets an F- on this...

This wasn't some foreign policy initiative Dubya thought he had to explain and campaign for. It's a business deal that made sense until the drive-by media went on a tirade and persuaded the easily gullible. In the end it doesn't make a whole lot of difference either way...it just gives Dubya haters, like you and the rats, something to complain about.

Why don't you just stick to bashing Dubya's faith in divine creationism. You're not nearly as persuasive on issues that don't require your intense hatred of the Lord.

PresBush was defiant on this ports issue from the get-go. In the end, Bush`s threats to cast his first veto, favoring UAE business concerns over those of American interests, the President was rewarded with a big fat public smackdown. And rightfully so. This was a huge bureaucratic blunder from the start.

Instead of demanding a full inquiry into every aspect and every detail, Bush chose to pick a fight with the American people and the GOP Congress. By a 62-2 margin the House committee voted to oppose the DPW/UAE deal. Hastert and Frist TOLD Bush they would oppose him. Even after being proven wrong in the court of public opinion, Bush has continued to show a level of arrogance that undermines his support and shows poor leadership on his part. Bottom line. Bush lost this fight BIGTIME!

The Muslim Sheiks who control and operate the UAE, and other Islamic nationstates of the ME, won't be divesting in the US. Their investments will be going up. They won't be kicking the worlds only superpower out of their ports and bases either. We protect these dictatorial Sheiks and their Islamic sheikdoms from acts of terrorism. Nothings changed.

Except a bunch of whining Bush apologizers/sycophants on FreeRepublic have to eat crow on this one for acting like spoiled brats.
