WASHINGTON - The senior Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee angrily accused the Bush administration Thursday of ignoring the law by refusing to extend an investigation of a United Arab Emirates company's takeover of significant U.S. port operations.

Bush, talking to reporters at the conclusion of a Cabinet meeting earlier Thursday, said that "people don't need to worry about security."

"People don't need to worry about security."

He expects everyone to close their eyes and put their complete trust in him and the government.

Not gonna happen.

I don't think this deal will ever go through. This was a big boo boo on Bush's part.

It will go through. It's all over anyway but the screaming and shouting. Bush has called for a temporary delay to have time to bribe enough members of Congress to make sure nothing hinders it and he's having the media push pro-UAE propaganda.

It won't take long for the sheep that find this man to be 'honorable' to step back into line behind him.

This is the kind of crap that happens when one party controls the house, senate and the WH

Rove and company are busy e-mailing and calling every repub who is up for re-election and threating to unplug them from the GOP cash cow if they dont toe the party line

That is politics as usual

The strange thing is how this deal, which is a public relations nightmare, (something like 90% of Americans think it is a bad idea) got to this point with no one senior in the BWH who seemed to have a clue about it.

Many of the usual safeguards were absent and there was little or no congressional oversight or transparency to the deal

But king George has assured us it has nothing to do with the fact that UAE is currently taking delivery of 8 billion dollars worth of military hardware from the US

This is the kind of crap that happens when one party controls the house,

I LOVE to see you commies saying that... never heard a peep outta ya when the demosocialist party controlled everything and sold us down the river for 80 years!!!!!

The GOP gets a few little years and all of a sudden you act like you are interested in bipartisanship!!!


hahahahahahaah

What are you talking about? There's been one democratic president since the 1970s, and for part of his time in the white house there was a GOP controlled Congress.
The simple fact is one party control is a bad thing because without opposition there are no checks and balances in our government. The founding fathers of our country didn't like the two party political system when they saw it beginning to form, and they certainly wouldn't have approved of a single party ruling.

Bush is eating his own presidency, in this sense:

Bush's entire presidency has been based on fear-mongering, getting people to "worry about security." Everything he does, from tax cuts for the wealthy to invading Iraq based on a mountain of lies, has been justified by "worrying about security."

Bush's single rhetorical stance is:

"You are in grave danger; I am your only hope for security. In order to protect you, I am going to ...."

He scares the hell out of people (thus transforming them into abject cowards), and offers himself as a security blanket.

Bush would be nowhere without hysterical worrying.

That's why nobody is going to accept his, "people don't need to worry about security."

People are conditioned to worry about security -- thanks to GW Bush.

The delicious irony is that he's probably right about this.

I wonder if he said the same thing after reading this?

Bush: "people don't need to worry about security."

BWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Bush's entire presidency has been based on fear-mongering, getting people to "worry about security.
When listen to terrorist's call, security is not an issue. A month later, UAE (an ally) run port, security is an issue. I guess February is the month to worry about security.

That's why nobody is going to accept his, "people don't need to worry about security."
If you keep the word in context, it reads the security of port will be there even under management of an UAE company.

"People don't need to worry about security"

the only thing to fear are muslims and their murderous ways

First and formost volvo, I am not a commie

second, in "a few short years" the GOP pushed us into a quagmire soon-to-be civil war, cranked up the national debt and deficit to astronomical heights, the economy is a bubble driven by national and consumer debt, we have installed a gigantic new department that cannot tie its own shoelaces without a map, have attempted to co-opt the constitution in favor of a plutocratic cronyacracy, turned congress into a political favor supermarket ... etc etc

The only thing that has saved Dubyas ass is the political cover from congress.

Given that Al Qaeda currently has a fleet of 15-20 merchant freighters capable of bringing explosives within sealed containers through US ports, the move of outsourcing the security of those ports to a country tied to the 9/11 attack really makes that Homeland Security smoke screen even more transparent.

Secure The Borders You Idiot!

"people don't need to worry about security"

What, me worry?



It's a MAD situation.
