Don't Misjudge the Port Report

It's been amusing for the navel gazers on TV and radio (Liberals all) to debate the port controversy.  Here are proposed reasons why we as conservatives in and out of the legislature are against and have opposed the President on this issue:
 
  • It's an election year and republicans need to distance themselves from him
  • Bush is a failed President and no one wants to stand with a failure
  • The secrecy of the Bush Whitehouse backfired
  • This is a cronyism ploy
  • Bush needs this to make friends he doesn't have.
 
And lots of others you have seen.
 
Well, wrong lefty breath.  Nothing of the kind is true. 
 
We opposed it because it's wrong.  By the way it's also over.  But Bush needs to say to Dubai that see, I tried hard, I'm your pal. It's those rotten congressmen.
He saves face and the deal fails.
 
So relax, the deal's dead.  Bush saves face. I like the fact that the message is sent to the Arab world, politics and position matters and you better do more than kiss up to a few politicos.

Yeah, the Prez' has tried to dupe the UAE as you suggest, but, is the REAL story his intent to hire Haliburton to handle the chores once the public and Congress send the Arabs packing? Stay tuned.
