The couldn't have seen it. The process is deliberatey invisible to them...that's how it was designed.
A couple of foreign countries bid on a contract. One of them one the bid. It was vetted. Everything was pretty mush business as usual.

Who did the president allegedly shut up? With all due respect, the truth was squelched in this matter and anyone with any intestinal fortitude who did not get all the facts on this matter before they squealed should at least admit to themselves they made a mistake.

Again, they won't control the ports.
WE WILL still be in charge of security etc. The company will perform the other duties.

Because again, they don't know what the deal really is.
I would be mad too if it really is what the media is portraying, but it is not.
Unfortunately, this all comes down to the horrendous communications staff at the White House.

Mark Levin yesterday also mentioned Madeline Albright and Dashel to complete the trio of those ex politicos lobbying for UAE interests.

Your leaders are accountable; they created this process to begin with.
Now a couple of them saw an opportunity to abuse the process for their political purposes and that's good? How is that holding them accountable?
So you don't want all financial transactions in this country involving foreign countries delayed until you're personally satisfied, just until ever member of Congress is personally satisfied, and have satisfied their obligation to their voters. Yep it still isn't a waste of time...it's economic suicide.

This port story reminds me of the situation in the mid eighties when the Japanese were buying up the United States and legally taking over Hawaii... Then along came the massive Kobe earthquake.

"Because again, they don't know what the deal really is."
They couldn't know until the vetting process was over; it had just gotten over.
They had no reason for concern even then, this was nothing more then the normal vetting or yet another financial transaction involving foreign concerns; it was simply normal business for the process. There was nothing remarkable about this one.

I don't expect you to believe it, it's just the process that's in effect.

Now! who is fear mongering?
I take economic suicide every day of the week and twice on Sunday, before I sacrifice our National Sovereignty.

Maybe so, but the more I look into it the more I do not like it.

That would be those who manufactured this non-crisis.

I don't expect you to believe it, it's just the process that's in effect. Most of the Cabinet knew about this deal. Claiming that this 'process' is somehow free of political considerations just doesn't pass the smell test.

Oh, that's funny. Nail right on the head.

They knew about it once the process had been completed.

Irony...on a business as usual Bush is all evil thread?

Let's see what will be done to you when Democrats gain control and trust me they will. After the Left tested you guys with this Port story, they are patting each other on the back as I type. Have fun when they are elected and take control but do not think they will give you credit for their win. The President and the RNC are f***ing up on so many levels, but somehow it is the fault of the conservatives because they're being duped by the Democrats. Tell me another one - that was pretty funny. I almost shot water out of my nose I laughed so hard.

They knew about it once the process had been completed. When they blithely signed off on it, as I originally said.
