It boggles the mind how such an intelligent man can allow such flaming idiots to surround him.
There has got to be alot more to this story.

The Dubai firm that won Bush administration backing to run six U.S. ports has at least two ties to the White House.
What's next, George Bush have buddies that hire illegals and that's why he is selling this country out to Mexico?

Wow. Just... mind boggling.
Okay, people, that does it. Bombard Congress and the White House today with calls, letters, email, telegrams, Pony Express. This is unbelievable.

The political stench in this pile on is overwhelming.
There are legitimate questions about letting a foreign government controlled company manage our ports. P&O , a foreign publically controlled company has managed our ports for years.
Question, if you block the deal, who takes over port management?

Amazing how they skipped the adjective "former" there.
Even more amazing is how many FReepers don't even bother to notice.

I'm so glad we're handing the Democrats a cudgel to beat us with in 2006....
Perhaps it's time for another Harriet Myers-style conservative revolt?

The longshoremen who do the work will not be fired and replaced by Arabs.
This deal would actually increase port security because of the increased scrutiny.

I just don't get what going on here with this and the immigration non sense. The solutions are so simple, but yet Bush and whomever else seem to want to complicate things.
With this Port deal he could just read a statement to the press that the deal is off and be done with it. Maybe Rove should leave because if he is behind not killing this deal and the immigration nonsense, the GOP will be in big trouble come November.

"Snow was chairman of the CSX rail firm that sold its own international port operations to DP World for $1.15 billion in 2004, the year after Snow left for President Bush's cabinet.
The other connection is David Sanborn, who runs DP World's European and Latin American operations and was tapped by Bush last month to head the U.S. Maritime Administration. "
Sound of sirens!
I wondered how long it would take the MSM to find these connections. They've already been on FR, but not in the MSM.
President Bush is not making wise decisions, at least politically, on this one.

If increased scrutiny is what we want, why don't we hand the ports over to Bin Laden?
I'd rather we do what is smart here, not what makes business sense.
