I don't like this deal as much as anyone....but this comment can't go unanswered.
Say what you want about Bush but to say he doesn't care about defending this country is an OUTRAGEOUS charge.

BS - he leaves our borders open, allows illegals to recieve more benefits than our soldiers and law abiding citizens, signs into law a bill to take away our free speech rights, and now he wants to allow our ports to be managed by our enemy. Something is strange and connected here and I dont like it - he acts like he cares about American security but does nothing to show it.
That's not what he said - you left out "from foreign invaders".
He has YET to make any serious effort to close off the southern border. And now he is willing for the first time to use his veto pen - against a bill that would halt this sale.
Yeah, Bush cares about defending this country - as long as business interests still get their illegal labors and his Arab backers get their deals done. He won't veto spending bills that give his base fits, but he'll veto blocking a port handover that gives his base fits.
"Say what you want about Bush but to say he doesn't care about defending this country is an OUTRAGEOUS charge."
But it's more outrageous to be selective about how you defend America. We'll take the war to the terrorists, (good), but we won't secure the Mexican border and we'll sell off port management to Arabs, (bad).
Oh, but the bad makes money...? Ok, concern for security no longer required.

Dear dog,
Sasafras wants the southern border closed and the illegals deported. This is pretty much the only issue he/she cares about.
