Well...isn't it interesting that NO Reps have gotten up to speak about this except Susan Collins and John McCain...and both of them are just mad that it stopped down the Lobby Reform Bill yesterday...
Sounds to me, like the President has an all out revolt on his hands...and needs to crack some heads together..OR, give up the ports deal.
Which could open up another can of worms, about what would the reaction of the UAE be? The Arab world? Would this also include getting ALL of the foreign owned ports deals voided?? What if DPWorld SUES...this could be tied up in litigation for a long time...what do the ports do in the meantime??
So many questions, so few answers....BUT, as we all know, it isn't about the answers, it is about the PERCEPTION!!
So...the next time we have a terrorist attack, we can throw up out hands and say that we thought we had the PERCEPTION down pat.
Cloture vote at 2pm today by agreement of Frist and Reid.
I can't speak for others .. but I trust the President a hell of alot more then I do many of these nit wits in the Senate
Frist just on asking for the Cloture vote to be at 2:00 PM today...
Well....Reid was calling for everyone to DENY cloture, so we will see...
BTW...I forgot to mention in my many rants today...that I have yet to hear ONE congresscritter point out that THEY were the ones the structured the CFIUS program...so if they are angry about the process, and being left out of the decisons...well just damn...it ya'lls own fault!
But, now that President Bush is lying on the Oval Office rug, a whipping dog, for them to FLAY....that bit of FACT won't stand in their way.
"So...the next time we have a terrorist attack, we can throw up out hands and say that we thought we had the PERCEPTION down pat."
