Bush isn't killing anything. He's being consistent. He's sticking with an ally who supports 300 other ports worldwide, but is having trouble supporting nine ports in the United States because Americans are afraid of the Arab boogeyman.
Doofi like Peter King and JD Hayworth are running for the tall grass, making fools of themselves and proving to any ally in the WOT that you can pound sand if somebody can skeer the American people into thinking you're a terrorist.
This is a shameful episode in the history of America.
so I guess you are adding Duncan Hunter to the list of "doofi" now?
the white house has blown this thing, and continues to do so. first they had nothing to say while the story exploded, then they were screaming "VETO" right out of the box, then they were against a 45 day review even though everyone knew it was going to happen, now they are refusing to acknowledge that pushing this thing through "as is" is going to split the party - they have to compromise somewhere. when do they figure that out, on day 30 of 45?
