Port deal

Given the track record of the Bush administration, any thoughtful minded person would be suspicious of the port deal: Who was rewarded for sealing the deal; and how much money did that person receive? Was Karl Rove involved?

“I’m trying to conduct foreign policy by saying to people of the world, ‘We’ll treat you fairly’” The above statement by George Bush has the same type of melodrama and tone of a defendant found guilty of murder in a court, offering his car for amends to the victim’s family. It is especially troublesome to hear that the port deal was sealed without George Bush having knowledge of it.

It is un-canny to hear professional people defend the sale of six of our ports to the United Arab Emirates. They are willing to sell their souls even if it means to put the Homeland Security in jeopardy. At this moment in history so many of us are holding on to the notion that at this point the Bush Administration has become transparent even to the folks in the red states. The concern of penetration is a wake up call to every one.

What would George Bush say if this sale is allowed and the country is penetrated through the ports? Again, like not finding those weapons of mass destruction, he would put the blame on the intelligence.
