Thanks for a great Dose, Ohio. And that's a good link on the Ports Issue.

I'm confident Bush is doing the right thing, as usual. I'm just hoping he has some card up his sleeves so that he can take the Leftist Politicos who were all set to make hay with this issue to the cleaners one more time.

... not that cleaning seems to do 'em any good ...

Oh - and congratulations at posting the first ever less than good looking picture of Dubya <grin>.

This was discussed at some length on the Sunday Talk Show thread and whilst a few people voiced some concerns others pointed out how basic security is not affected at all.

I also used the example of how cargo is checked by various customs/government authorities here in the UK before they are shipped, so checks are done prior to shipping after they have shipped is too late.

BOR has just explained it very well on the Factor how it would be disaster to overturn this deal (if in fact they actually can in reality) as the Emirates is America's biggest supporter in the Middle East.

Thanks, oWf....I've had the feeling from the beginning that a few conservatives have jumped on this port company deal before all the facts were available simply because they don't like it that Bush doesn't consult them hourly. It's really beginning to piss me off -- they are worse than liberals for trying to impose their views through propaganda.
