If Pres. Bush had publicly announced that he had vetoed a proposed UAE port deal, I am absolutely convinced that Ratner would have been on there today denouncing Bush for anti-Arab bigotry and ethnic profiling.
Ratner has only one guiding principle: hatred of Republicans and opposition to anything proposed by the Bush administration.
Well obviously she is stuck on stupid, a foreign corporation owned the contracts to park ships before they decided to sell and UAE won the bid.
Problem is these liberals are not held to their own words and convictions and continually muddy the water regarding what is required to keep this nation secure.
Sadly a majority of Americans polled in favor of bjclinton in spite of knowing his true nature and today a majority are buying the liberal trot that President Bush sold our ports to an Arab country.
I would venture a guess that you are right on that point.
