I caught a little bit of Reid talking, and it was nauseating, him pausing for effect and then mentioning Katrina, etc.
It seems like many here are doing almost the same thing: saying this is payback for the border situation. In other words, opposing this port deal is less about the ports than it is other "issues" and overall axes to grind with Bush. And in the midst of that, they don't care if we just crapped over a critical (not perfect, but important) ally at a really, really bad time. To think the UAE would jeopardize their economy by being complicit in or in any way allowing an attack through DPW is insane. After their oil resources are gone, business and tourism will be what they rely on.
No, they do not; being reelected is all important, don't you know?

Why people would ignore this fact is proof beyond a doubt what this is about. It's sickening.
