Who needed debate? It took less than 2 hours to find out what needed to be found out. This deal has been around since last November. Anyone who was uninformed (particularly in congress) just hasn't been paying attention. Anyone who didn't know that Dubai has been used successfully by our military is negligent.

How is it that congress is so uninformed about how our ports work? Is it the president's job to teach the house and senate how things have worked for years?

Why would Freepers, who are supposed to be some of the most informed people in this country so quick to run off the cliff after people like Clinton and Shummer?

Point 1 - There is no way this helps the Dems in 2006. They are succeeding in alienating another of their corp groups. Without the Arab-American vote the Dems lose. We already know this has ticked of regular people in the UAE, why haven't we seen any polls about what Muslims think about their dear Democrat Party now.

Point 2 - GW tried bring the Dems and moderate Pubbies to the table early and got his teeth kicked in. His new strategy is a lot more like shark fishing. Throw a bunch of sh!t over the side of the boat and when the shark comes up to feast, hook it. Shark loses.
