Bush is now working a two pronged offensive on the Dubai debacle. Claiming that he never heard about a deal to change the ownership of American ports, perhaps our most vulnerable target. And also attacking anyone who speaks against this deal as, in effect, a racist.
Clearly, security is not a number one issue with the Bushies. What is it that Karl Rove said? Oh, yeah, after 9/11 the Republicans went hunting terrorists and the Democrats went to psychiatrists or some such stupidity. Obviously the correct statement is that the Democrats wanted to hunt and kill bin Laden and the Bushies just wanted to milk this thing for all the crony money they could.
In fact, I would go so far as to say that it would be in the best interest of the Bushies for America to be attacked again. Their party loyalists somehow manage to regard Bush as strong on security even though 9/11 happened on his watch. Another attack would only drive them further into their camp. It certainly worked in the microcosm with the terror alerts. Like lemmings off a cliff.
Only an idiot would say that we should hand over control of our ports to a foreign government, particularly one that funded 9/11 and provided two of the hijackers. But hey, that's the Security President for you.
