Not confusing...its pathetic.

What's pathetic is how people aren't paying attention to the quotes--which show that Bush still backs the plan--and are paying attention to the headline.

Every day I've been here people have posted about how the MSM spin things. I guess when they spin it their way, those opposed to this plan don't much mind.

Why don't you knee jerkers quit with you innane comments. You are listening to the MSM and believing their stories. This has been around for a few months and no one gave it a second take. Now all of a sudden when the DemocRATS think they can pile on Bush, Republicans get wobbly. What a bunch of wusses. Our ports have been operated by foreign governments all along. The UAE is a Arab friend. If we cannot recognize Arab friends, we might as well forget about being a super power.

Not really why have a dog and bark yourself.

You trust those you appoint to do checks and balances, they did them. A President the same as a CEO cannot personally oversee everything. There must be agreed procedures when it is necessary and when it is not. Otherwise you end up with a puppet government.

After the news broke and the media/congress went on feeding frenzy he then spoke to his Ministers was satisfied all the proper procedures had been followed.

As for the veto well only he can do that.

"Pathetic" is not a bad description, albeit one that implies some degree of emotional attachment. In this case, I would prefer the military description of a decision arrived at by a consensus of the unthinking. Hint: it starts with "cluster".
