PORT SECURITY: Delay the DeLay Way
The administration is going to hold off before letting the Dubains take over control of the six American ports so that they can "explain" to members of congress details of the deal. All the explaining, you know, is going to be about how much he's prepared to spend to bribe some important Senators from an already bankrupt treasury, who will then provide cover for the rest and then try to ram this deal through. Fat chance. As phony as this issue it is (and probably the best thing we could do begin to heal the rift between us and Arab nations), the American people are simply too and reactionary and jingoistic to see it, something for which Bush has only himself to blame.
