This Bush port deal is really astounding. Karl Rove must be pulling out the few remaining hairs on his mushy melon head. After selling Bush to the red state voters, as the best defense against terrorists, Bush opens our ports to potential terrorist infiltration, and then attempts to defend the deal. As the criticism rises, The President denys he knew anything about it. Rumsfeld says the same, even though he heads the committee that greenlighted the deal. They both learned from Bush's dad, one time head of the CIA , who, while Vice President, denied he knew anything about Iran/Contra. Deny, Deny, Deny, even if it makes you look totally incompetent. The best comment on this whole deal came from a Republican congressman, Christopher Shays from Conn. "We knew that some in the administration were arrogant, but we assumed they were competent. But to be arrogant and not competent raises real questions".....You can say that again Chris!!!! Of course the Democrats are taking the high ground "we want an investigation". Don't they know by now after being turned down on every request for an investigation by the Republican controlled Congress? Every Democrat politician should be shouting out Bush is so incompetent and in bed with the Arabs he is selling out our security. When are they going to stop whining and attack this administration for it's undeniable incompetency? Screw the investigation, they should be hammering Bush for selling control of key US ports to the United Arab Emerites, who are ten times more connected to 9/11 and the Taliban and Osama than Iraq ever was. This deal didn't happen overnight. These Arabs aren't stupid. They wouldn't have bought this deal from the British if they weren't given assurances way in advance, from the highest up in the Bush administration that it will go through. And how does one explain the Bush ass kissing of John McCain? "the President's leadership has earned our trust in the war on terror, and surely his administration deserves the presumption that they would not sell our security short". I don't care if he was a prisoner of war in Nam and was tortured, and he is only supporting Bush as his backers say in private because he wants Rove's support in his 08 Presidential bid. His pimping for this arrogant, dishonest and incompetent President is shameful. Especially after how Bush's people (Rove) attacked McCain in the 2000 primaries, calling him a coward. If the Demos weren't such wimps they would go after McCain and Frist (who today, after initially opposing the port deal, got in line with the President that it's OK if Bush says so). The Demos should be attacking every Republican that supports this administration on the obvious issue of incompetence. You've got this port deal, you've got the Katrina failures, you've got the out of control defecit spending, you've got the failing and expensive prescription drug fiasco, you've got the scandals of Abramoff and Scooter, you've got Cheney shooting his friend and most of all you've got a out of control killing ground created by this administration in Iraq. C'mon Hillary and Kerry, and Gore and Obama, and Edwards stop playing it safe and go after these guys. If the Republicans can remove a President for consesual oral sex in the White House, you don't deserve power, if you can't get a President with this many arrows in him out of office.
