Dubai Ports -- Inept Dem politics AGAIN
Advertisements [?]
Dubai Ports is not a security issue (The security issue is the lack of funding for screening and tracking technology)

Dubai Ports is a Political Issue and once again the Democrats have bungled an incredible opportunity by premature demagoguery.

All the democrats had to do was to let the issue simmer for a few months -- and then they would have had a fantastic boogey man to use against Bush in Fall.

But no, self-interested folks had to make such a stink that now the Republican congress is coming out against the deal and soon Bush will declare the sale a hold-over from the Clinton era, make a public spectable of banning it, and call for a commission to investigate Port Security.

Democrats lose another opportunity. When will we learn to give Buch enough rope to hang himself.
