WHITE HOUSE SAYS DUBAI PORTS DEAL SHOULD RESOLVE THE MATTER

I guess that settles that? :crazy:

[Danieljay]

1. up is down, black is white, resolution is conflict..blah effing blah..

If they are "giving" in this soon...its been a set up all along.

[Teaser]

3. you made an assertion. demonstrate its truth

What about this particular length of time makes it a set up?
How long until it was not a set up?

[peace frog]

5. "Giving up" my ass!

It's the typical WH hoodwink, but nobody's falling for it now. It ain't over, not by a damn sight.

[Mithras61]

2. Right!

Since W_rong says this should resolve it, that means the deal needs beaucoup more scutiny...

[Fridays Child]

9. Bingo. This is just about the most incredible bushspeak yet.

[wordpix2]

4. Port security is NOT resolved!

[warrens]

6. It ain't over til WE say it's over, punk...

This issue ain't going away. It's just started.

[Generator]

7. Of course they do!

And I feel safe and I trust my president, just like Brittany Spears.

[sabra]

8. LOL - good one!

[Tempest]

10. Now there's the matter of foreign control over U.S. airlines

Resistance to foreign ownership of U.S. port operations spilled over into the aviation arena when a key congressional committee told the Bush administration to postpone a plan to allow more foreign control of domestic airlines.

The House Appropriations Committee on Wednesday passed a resolution directing the Transportation Department to hold off for 120 days on its proposal to give foreign investors in U.S. airlines more latitude to influence management decisions.

11. Why aren't we being told what the "U.S. entity" is that will

take it over? Too early to tell us it is Halliburton? Ah, we'll learn that next week; maybe even tomorrow.

[murray hill farm]

12. oh, bushit...your goose is cooked!

and ya just dont know it...it is not over...and when it is announced that halliburton will take it over..well, then it most definitly is not over.

[ladjf]

13. I'm sorry,but I'm unable to comprehend what the White House

statement means. There is no Ports deal but the issue of management remains uncontrolled.

[KansDem]

14. Bush: "I don't know anything about this but the matter is resolved!"

Not an actual quote but one that could very well come out of this dunderhead.

[merci_me]

15. Oh let me guess

another Halliburton "no bid" or will it be their sub KB&R or are they filing papers now for a new subsidiary just for the ports, with a heavy board position for Cheney, should he retire early or whenever.

[WhiteTara]

16. Amazing. That's it? Is that a complete

sentence? Now I have a headache from trying to wrap my mind around this nonsense.

[NYC]

17. Don't lose sight of this.

Keep following the money.

[Megahurtz]

18. Wha?
