you cant act like your really behind the deal, threaten a VETO (first one too boot) and the a couple of days later say "you knew nothing about the deal" and still retain credebility with the publis

You can with the portion of the public that actually bothers to read details about the ports deal and reacts objectively instead of emotionally.

Do you mean details like this that was mentioned near the end of the article

DP World on Thursday finalized its $6.8 billion purchase of Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Co., the British company that through a U.S. subsidiary runs important port operations in New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, New Orleans, Miami and Philadelphia. It also plays a lesser role in dockside activities at 16 other American ports.

Why is it that you supporters of the deal conveniently leave out the fact DPW is partly owned by the govt. of Dubai. Do we really want a foreign government to have ownership of any part of our ports? Can they, in time, claim national sovereignty by declaring those terminals property of Dubai thereby negating any security setup whatsoever?
