ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) — President Bush says the deal allowing an Arab company to take over six major U.S. seaports should go forward and he will veto any bill that would stop it.

I'm losing more respect for GW every day, but like I say- the worst republican is still better than the best democrat.

So you'd choose Arlen Specter over Zell Miller?

"Economically it benefits the USA"

How so?

All profits will go to UAE not USA.

The only thing that makes less sense than this deal is Bush's approach to border security.

This deal is absolute insanity.
At this rate, what harm would it do to put Bin Laden in charge of Homeland Security?

This is a President who does NOTHING about illegal immigration, now sells our PORTS to out enemies...

Except he is doing no such thing. Our ports remain US ports. It's a management deal. Port Security remains US Customs just like before.

Bush just gave the liberals a new talking point:

That President Bush will execute his first ever veto in his presidency in order to allow a muslim nation to take over our port operations.

What is he thinking?

Oh well. Watch him veto and get his veto overridden. Might be good for him.

Bush won't do the wrong thing just because ignorant people tell him to.

You all are about to learn a good lesson on how the Political game is played by a master of the craft.

I think what we'll ultimately learn is that more politicians have been paid off by the Arabs.

the ports were already run by the British

First I heard of that; I don't like that either.

However, the British at least are not an Islamic country that openly harbors extremist Muslims.

Yet.

The shoe doesn't fit. It's just a cheap smear by you.

Get bent.

He said the Dubai company would NOT be in charge of port security, that that would rest with the Coast Guard and Customs.

However, management would be from Dubai. And all it would take would be a few al Qaeda sympathizers in management to make it easier to smuggle ship-borne weapons into this country.

Well, and W had Rush blathering on for 3 hours, spinning it this way and that, all praise to the UAE, why Rush loved the UAE more than the DNC and thought they'd do a great job w the ports.

Be sure to tune into Michael Savage later for a FAR different opinion...
