Bush would accept slight delay in ports deal-Rove Thu Feb 23, 2006 4:19 PM ET
WASHINGTON, Feb 23 (Reuters) - President George W. Bush would accept a slight delay in permitting Dubai Ports World to acquire a British company that operates six key U.S. ports, senior White House adviser Karl Rove told Fox News.
When asked if Bush would accept a slight delay in implementing the takeover of P&O , Rove said: "Yes, look, there are some hurdles, regulatory hurdles, that this still needs to go through on the British side as well that are going to be concluded next week.

You know the words to that? WOWOWOWOWOWWO
free trade has nothing to do with CFIUS. acquiring US assets, especially those that have a national security or critical infrastructure component to them, is not "free trade".
how many deals did CFIUS deny? what the hell good is an agency that provides oversight, and denies almost no applications. they might as well just use a rubber stamp.
"They now show themselves to be.........
"sheep in wolves' clothing."
Many people opted for the lesser of two evils in 2000 and in 2004. But evil they both were.
I said in back in 2000 and 2004: "The lesser of two evils today may be tomorrow's evil and I'd rather be right today than wrong tomorrow."
I was right then and I'm right now. The lesser of two evils has, indeed, become the greater of the two evils.
Wrapped in surreality with a bizarre twist...
get yourself some kleenex coopie
stick around, that's what is going to unfold if the administration wants this to go through.
hearings, real answers, more assurances, additional security protocols at the ports.
what do you think this delay is for?
LOL! Alice has company in wonderland.
More like a dope on the ropes.
Correct.
I agree with you one million percent!
"Why is this coming from the President's political adviser instead of State or Homeland security or even the President's spokesman?"
Because the big chiefs muckety muck at the Homeland do not have a financial interest in this debacle. They're selling our country out for a few dinars.
America wake up!
This country has fallen asleep thanks to the media.
You have the dems call bush jim crow at rosa parks funeral and they take no heat.
You have dems filing lawsuits in ohio for months acting crazy and screaming diebold stole the elections and america still bashes bush.
I know a lot of independents that voted for bush and are so angry at him now. They are saying we need the democrats.
These people have no idea what the democrats are like.
They have no idea that howard dean calls tancredo a racist for going after illegals.
You have dems doing business with Venezuela owned citgo and you hear nothing from our media. The dems idea of free trade is trade with communists like castro or his socialist/communist protege in chavez.
They have no idea what the dems did to miguel estrada who would have been the first hispanic supreme court justice.
You have murtha saying there is no terrorism when bin laden is communicating with zarqawi back and forth about operations in iraq.
Watching the media is like being in the twilight zone and the average american voter is so damn clueless they will elect pelosi as speaker of the house.
Thank Lou Dobbs, even though 90 percent of dems voted against the border protection bill he will go all out to get pelosi as speaker of the house.
I HATE LOU DOBBS NOT BECAUSE HE GOES AFTER BUSH BUT BECAUSE HE DOESN'T GO AFTER THE DEMS.
HE WAS SILENT ON AL GORE.; HE IS SILENT ON HOW BAD THE DEMS ARE ON ILLEGALS. HE NEVER POINTS OUT THE HYPOCRACY IN THE DEMS ILLEGAL POSITION VS LABOR.
LOU DOBBS IS A HYPOCRITE WHO IS A LAPDOG FOR THE COMMUNIST NEWS NETWORK WHO LISTENS TO HIS BOSSES.
I AM SO SICK OF LOU DOBBS HYPOCRACY. HE NEEDS TO HEAR HELL FROM THE RIGHT BECAUSE HE IS THE POSTER BOY FOR WHAT WE HAVE COMING DOWN THE ROAD IN PELOSI, MORE GINSBERGS ON THE COURT AND THEN HILLARY RODHAM.
The conservatives aren't really worried. We are trusting the party-above-principle GOP/RNC Big Tent RINOs, liberals and moderates to save us from ourselves.
We know we can always depend on you.
Definitely agree... after this port deal, his rating are going to be in the mid 30s max. He won't have an ounce of political capital.
"Ya missed a spot, boys"
The dems have been working toward getting Bush impeached since 2000...
AND, the chicken "S" Republicans in the House and the Senate are about to hand the dems the majority so they can do it..
I am SICK of the Republican Congresscritters for their cowardice...
You want al gore who goes to saudi arabia and bashes american abuses after 9/11 for rounding up arabs.
You want al gore who in front of sheiks in saudi arabia screams for more saudi visas.
You want John Kerry who talks of american troops terrorizingt iraqis.
This country has gone so far left they are driving off the road.
It is one thing to bash Bush but it makes me boil how americans don't know how radical the party of ted kennedy, gore and kerry are.
They deserve more ruth bader ginsberg.
These people deserved al gore as president going over to saudi arabia and bashing america or kerry as president say our troops are abusing iraqis.
Bigger of two evils, are you kidding me.
You know nothing about gore or kerry. Nothing!
ROFML
Nope. This deal is done. The opposition to it is crumbling. The Republicans in Congress will be able to use the 45 day for cover, and allow the deal to go through.
