In the news ...
Port security. Does anybody remember how Kerry brought up, in the first and third debates in 2004, the issue of port security? And does anybody remember how Bush responded? "My administration worked with the Congress to create the Department of Homeland Security so we could better coordinate our borders and ports." "We're doing everything we can to protect our borders and ports." Now, of course, Bush is saying that if Congress passes any bill to interfere with a company owned by the government of the UAE taking over operations at six of our major ports, he'll veto it. This from the president who has yet to veto anything Congress passes. Apparently having the UAE goverment (one of only three governments to recognize the Taliban as Afghanistan's legitimate government) administering our ports is supremely important to this president.I know I feel safer already.
