has anyone pulled together repub comments on the ports deal?
Edited on Fri Feb-24-06 12:24 PM by onenote
Now that the repubs are turning into emily litella ("never mind") on the ports deal, is there an article or thread that collects some of the initial comments criticizing the deal from repubs like Frist and Hastert?
(I can hear Frist now..."Ports? I thought they said the UAE was going to operate US "sports". Can't have another country running Camden Yards. But the "Port" of Baltimore. That's something different. Never mind.")
1. When Buxh declared he would postpone the deal...
...I noticed an army of "explainers" hit the cable news circuit to sell the idea to the base.
Last night I saw some pointing at a map and wondering if the UAE would be a helpful location from which to launch an attack on Iran. Now that's speaking the right wingnut's language!
I guess they assume the UAE would be on our side because of the port deal, but I wonder what they could do to our shipping if they dont approve. Or for that matter, what would happen to port traffic if they disapprove of anything we do politically.
