"If u are going to place blame...place blame on those in the administration
who PROPOSED this ignornat deal, instead of 70% of Americans who opposed."
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>........
much like the meirs fiasco, blame the people..it's all us conservatives fault.. Well somebody in the Whitehouse has gone bonkers, talk about a tin ear. this does not bode well for then next three years..Mr Bush you ain't outta touch your outta the galaxy. Oh yeah we want Open borders and the illegals swarming the country sure we do, jobs the Americans won't do yeah thats the ticket.

The only reason DP backed out of the deal is that monarchies can not abide criticism. Had they stayed to fight we might have been able to redeem ourselves.
The Democrats have been trying to force Bush into a corner. This was red meat. They win by scrambling our Creigh policy and alienating an important ally. DP has direct responsibility for 70% of our naval fleet in foreign ports.
Educating the public about government run port authority, government port security and customs, and private sector terminal management would have been worthwhile.
Stupidity is the favored tool of demagogues. We are left to wallow in our ignorance.
