ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (AP) — President Bush says the deal allowing an Arab company to take over six major U.S. seaports should go forward and he will veto any bill that would stop it.

How much money generated will go into the hands of terrorists who seek to kill us?

Of course this is the correct move by Bush since the critics are clueless, and most likely never stepped upon a U.S. port in their lives. As they have images of Abdul at a gate house wearing a turban, with an AK-47.

"Lawmakers, he said, must "step up and explain why a middle eastern company is held to a different standard.""

Well, let's see....

Great Britain's official state religion is the Church of England (Christianity)

Dubai's state religion is Islam.

The Terrorists religion is....Islam.

There you have the difference. Thank you very much for your attention.

Because in Establishment Republican minds, making money trumps all else.

Including national security.

How Clintonian.

How utterly stupid of a thought / comment - The reality is ...if you are so ill-informed to think that by simply "owning" these said ports the UAE could increase the risk to our national security......you only prove you don't have a clue.

There is so much more to it then simply that. Who owns it.

By the way, how many ports to American companies own and run???....(zero!). Should we force U.S. companies to start up and get in this business?

"Port security" is nothing more then a smoke screen to hype to the uninformed and 10-second attentioned spanned American public.

Sheik Makhtoum isn't exactly Al Zarkawi. What he wants is Switzerland mixed with Vegas mixed with Scottsdale, AZ, with Atlanta's airport.

Well then! Let's hand them the Nuclear Launch codes!

Thats just fine so what have we got to lose by delaying the take over and openly discussing the matter in public with hearings form the pro and the con so that fears may be alleviated.

PSA is the only other company who bid on P&O.

If the Dubai deal gets canned, does the job now fall to the company from Singapore (PSA)?

Could that be what this is about?

Cmon BushBots... Lets hear you explain this away...

Weeel, it's strategery, don't you see? The opposition is playing checkers and Bush is playing three-dimensional chess. He's the Poker Player In Chief. He knows what he's doing. Just because of the history doesn't mean they won't be on our side now... You got to understand the Man, man! He's not like us. He's... grooovy.

.does it really matter that a UAE firm owns this rather than a Brit firm

Yes, it does...we are in a war against them...Britian is out ally. This smells and it smells and it smells. I'm livid about this.

Some haven't learned a thing. Don't bet against the cowboy.

There is more to this story than we know.

Why not Iraq? Was not that one of the reasons for the war?

So...

G.W. threw down a gauntlet of challenge. Whatever could happen next?

A bipartisan group of bureaucrats from Federal to State-level whip up enough public support to get together to tell an Arab terror-sponsor to go get knotted? Is that about right?

Am I the only one to see the country being brought together in an "us and them" scenario?? (And about freakin' time!). Fercryinoutloud, even the Kos Kidz are up in arms about this port business!

Big picture time, people. The prez has plenty of 'face' to spare if it will get Dems off the fence and moderates (aka candya$$es) start thinking in terms of "No Compromise with THE ENEMY" in the war on terror.

It's well worth the investment to have America united in the War on Terror.

Go George!
