He has been quietly doing this since the beginning so go ahead and thank all the people who voted Bush. I voted Kerry so I am guilt free

I am Soooooooo glad this is happening.  Republicans are going to have to worry about what theiCONSTITUENTSTS want - we are going into the mid terms and Bush has placed them in an impossible bind.  They will have to override Bushes veto and end his leadership of the party.   How could Bush have gotten this so wrong? \n\nMy guess is that Bush, who likes to hold hands with princes from the Arab Emirates,( check out the footage of him walking and holding hands with Prince Bandar  ), has more vested interests in the financial dealings with Gulf Coast Arab nations - than his own country. \n\nThe Bushes are also  good friends of the Bin Laudens too.\n\nThis is not going down well.  I don't honestly know if this is really a security concern, but Dubai has two of the hijackers, if laundered the money for the 9/11 attack and REFUSED US invetigators access to financial records.\n\nThis port deal has a bad feel to it.  A 62-2 vote in Congress passed to block this Dubai port deal. The acquisition of any leases, transfer is prohibited\nand attached to a bill the president wil find hard to veto. \n\nWith the President's poll levels at their lowest, its time for Republican congressmen to distance themselves.\n\nThis action by the appropriations committes is VETO proof. \nWhat options does the White House have?

Because, our "genious" president is sending us over there to fight in this stupid war. There is no reason for us to be over there in the first place. At first, yeah, he thought they had nuclear bombs, but now it has been discovered that they don't and I think George Bush is just trying to make himself God. He is pig headed and vain!

I think George W Bush is possibly the worst president ever, but in this case I tend to agree with you.  There is no reliable way to say it is ok for some countries to manage ports, but for others it isn't.  It does seem to be a case of a phobia of arab nations and a quick way for both sides of the aisle to disingenuously try and gain political points for doing what they paint as the "pro-American anti-terrorism" move in blocking it.

Boof is not a man that will go for anything in the wazoo!! I, like so many of my countrymen and women, are sick to death of this whole thing. Push 1 for English! WTF!!! My freakin' Corn Flakes - an All American Breakfast - have Espanola all over the box! The Star Spangled Banner - not only in Spanish, but changing the words to fit their "cause"! Did you see the cartoon of the Iwo Jima Marines, except they have Mexicans in sombrero's putting up a Mexican flag on Mt Suribachi?! My a*s is big, but (no pun!) there is no way any of that is goin' in!! The American people have had it. It takes a lot to really piss us off - but I think they have done it, and it's about time! There'll be a big house (& Senate!) cleaning party come November! God Bless the USA!!

Osama is sick... and a zealot... with tons of money via the Bush family connections...  \n\nBush is a fool...also wealthy from"donations" from Bush family connections... but i mean is he retarded??? his lack of  basic grammar is a clear indicator... i mean come on all you Bush lovers... do i have to really bring out the ole "catastrophic success" what the hell is that... Yale's standards have really gone down hill...\n\nThe fact is these two guys are puppets for big oil... Who has benefited the most from all this chaos caused by these two morons... humm... 75 bone$ for a barrel of oil!!!! Speculators predict 85 by mid summer!!! \n\nIf people would open their eyes a get over all this petty nonsense... They would see that it doesn't matter who is worse... or better... it all comes down to everyday ordinary people getting a "roster in the but" \n\n\nCastro... who cares... were talking about Cuba man... the only problem i have with Cuba is i cant get their cigars as easy as I'd like.

I think Bush rationalizes what he's doing by saying to himself "I'm building out an infrastructure (by helping to set up new markets in the middle east: Iraq) which will buy us Americans more time to recover from the Ecomomic bust of the Dotcom/Market crash with lower overall costs to us (cheaper gas).  \n\nBut what he's really doing is supplying us with our Chemical Dependancy for two minutes longer and then we'll all have to go cold turkey when the entire world turns to us and says "Look you guys are just wrong."\n\nOn a positive note...Americans aren't stupid.  We know this is all BS and want out of this situation.  We don't want to piss everyone off.....just the French.  GM has this new commerical where they are talking about using Corn Oil as fuel.   I'm blown away....that's huge!  That's got to be the most revolutionary concept for a major American corporation since the Ford Assembly Line.  I'm fu*kin buying GM!

Bush is not connected to anything buy his wallet, he would sell his country for money.  he approved Emirates to take over 6 US ports because they paid the right price.  So much for the security over his country.  yet he killed so many and created havoc in multiple countries for his security and USA's security.  does not make sense to me

Hm... I dunno. Maybe we should ship the Repubs to Greenland :D

Lets see, I got gas today and paid 2.49, my 84 year old Mother is totally confused about Bush's health reform which she is paying more of her health care then ever before.Then we have the war in Iraq which deep down we all know that is going nowhere and Bl isn't even there.And you have the war in Afghanistan which is still going on,so with the both wars going on and countless men and women getting killed and thousands losing their arms and legs and their mental state will never be the same, and for what, a few more millions in Bush and Chaney's pockets.Now Mr, Gun hoe Bush has p.o. Iran and they are ready to hit us.He has got the US in debt up to our eyeballs while lining his and Dick Chaneys'pockets. Now lets talk about the port problem(thank goodness that the American people raised enough stink about it to put it to a stop) giving over your ancestor ports up.So, to sum Bush up, I would gladly buy him a one way ticket to IRAQ because I just love him that much...not

No, our job is not done. How can you start helping a country then back out when you're in the middle of doing so? Only a sissy ass liberal would do a thing like that. GOD BLESS USA & GW!

Your right he did admit it.....he says we can't leave the oil to the  terriorists. Well Mr.Bush it was their oil in the first place who are we to take from their country?!?!?! Not to mention Mr bush has stock in the oil people...yes he is lining his pocket with money that  he makes from the oil. Not a surprise this war is really about making money for all those jerks in the White House and their buddies. Maybe the rest of the people will open their eyes now to the truth!!! Then again the Bush followers ignore all the things he says to prove things like this. Strange people!!!

Doesn't seem like he's thinking clearly huh? Sometimes he doesn't make sense at all. I'm still trying to find out why they're saying they have a democratic right under the NPT but they still refuse to acknowledge that they forfeited that right when they concealed it for 18 plus years! Really funny world and the leaders they have today.... I.E...Venezuala..Bolivia..Cuba...Possibly Peru now.... I hope the United States pulls it's head out of the clouds and realizes that the billions of dollars given to hostile countries could be used to further educate our own people at home! I think its time the United States shrinks its involvement. I would rather invest in helping African children. people who really don't have anything...then to give it to Venezuela and Bolivia...countries which have much more money but are ungrateful! I don't see this as a form of punishment but our tax payers money need to start helping people in dire need.

Bush was elected because we have a corrupt goverment and also because his brother is the gov. of Flordia (the state where all the confusion took place and thus turned the tide in his direction)  Yes, I think in his spare time he wears a TARD helmet and drools.  He probably rides a short bus to his functions and frequently wets himself.  Pray this next 2 years go fast.  Also, next time remember to vote Democratic.  What is the current # of soldjers that have been killed????? I think it is over 3,000 lives ended now.  And not 1 WMD found.  What a RETARD!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bush is just a fag who likes to bomb other countries and take over them. He likes to accuse people of having weapons of mass descruction, and only helped Florida in their time of need because his brother runs the state... :P\n\nAnd plus, the cost of the war in Iraq is running us about 244 billion dollars, and is increasing about 1,000 dollars every SECOND! Do you think you would be able to afford to help some people in tragedy if you were wasting all your money shooting people?!\n\nI dunno. Maybe Bush isn't doing anything because he got mad at the traffic during Marti Gras. Hey, you never know...

give me a break.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nthere is actually no new deal being made.  The British comapany that already manages the ports is being bought out by a corporation owned primarily by citizens of the United Arab Emarites.  The question at hand is wether or not to try to get out of our contract.  Since the British company will still be managing our ports, there is no reason to suspect that a terrorist plot is going on.  Micheal Moore Edits Answers that he doesn't like from his films and usually slants what is included.  Maybe if you read somthing other than Liberal propaganda (including the textbooks found in public and some private schools) you would get the whole story.

Well, we're not handing the ports over to Dubai. What's happening is that the British company that manages the ports is being purchased by a company based in Dubai. So it's very likely that in terms of people "on the ground", i.e. the ones in the port itself, there would be very little change. Basically all that will change is the profits from the port are going to another set of CEOs.\n\nFurthermore, there would be no change in the safety procedures at the port. The procedures are federally mandated, and enforced by the US Coast Guard, so it's not as if the new company could change them, even if they wanted to. \n\nSpeaking of which, it's not clear why people are automatically assuming that this company is somehow connected to terrorism itself. The only reason given is that the company is based in Dubai. What this reason really means is that people are afraid of having an Arab company run the ports, since "Arabs are terrorists" or some similar racist dreck.\n\nBut the company that in question, Dubai Ports World, has never had a security problem before. In an article on CNN.com (see below), an expert on maritime security named Kim Peterson called DPW's security record "exemplary".\n\nSo the sale shouldn't be a problem, although the Bush Administration is arguably making a mistake in this situation. \n\nTheir mistake is not the sale of ports, or more accurately the sale of the port management company, but rather that instead of explaining to people why they're doing what they're doing, the Administration is simply saying that we should trust them and not offering any reason to do so. That arrogance has, for obvious reasons, raised hackles on both sides of the aisle.\n\nIn sum: the sale won't effect security at all, and the only problem is politics.
