Neal hits this one right on the head. The sale is not between companies it from a company to a government, an islamic government at that. Bush has lost his damn mind in pandering to the ROP in this one.

[Mr. Mojo]

Though far too many people don't realize it, the Western world now finds itself smack in the middle of World War IV, the war against Islamic terrorism.

Neal, you obviously didn't get the memo. We're a war against terrorism in general, not Islamic terrorism. You see, Islam is a "religion of peace" that has been "hijacked by a few extremists," and is no more likely to produce terrorists or terrorist sympathizers than Christianity, Judaism, or Buddhism.

I just can't understand why George Bush is so invested in this idea of turning the operations at six essential U.S. ports...

Let's take that straw dog out for a walk.

Inciting the masses through ignorance.

[Sam Cree]

"What is being proposed here is to put a foreign government, an Islamic government, in virtual control over just how those manifests are prepared and how they will read..."

I like a lot of what Neal says, but I believe the above is incorrect.

Bush has to find and dust off that veto pen before he can use it!

[Earthdweller]

DNC propaganda...move along folks. They are playing us for suckers.

Port service operators are not in charge of security. The Port Authority and subsequent police force is, which is under the control of the U.S.C.G. Second, no one was upset, when the ChiComs took over Port operations in L.A., additionally, no one is concerned with the Arab controlled tankers calling on U.S. ports. No one has the facts on the deal, yet everyone has an opinion, politics as usual.

What worries me is the fact that so many donk's are OPPOSING this deal
Being on the same side as Chukie tell me that MAYBE I need more information on this before I reach an opinion

[Robert A Cook PE]

I have not heard ANY justification for a veto on this: Words, sure. But nothing said yet justifies even the threat of a veto .....

Not when he signed the CLEARLY illegal McCain-Feingold law.

Something else, some one else is pushing this agenda through. It's not just another international company merger.

[RightWhale]

The veto would be on a Congressional bill to kill the deal. There may be no such bill passing either house.

bump for later reading

I think his veto remark was meant for the pub congress-critters as in STFU and look at the details before you do anything else.
