Sorta.
Yesterday the White House indicated that they're ready to give some more time to study the Dubai port deal. In a briefing President Bush reassured the nation that "people don't need to worry about security," and swore that the deal had been analyzed for security issues. He also leaned back from the position that he would veto any bill killing the sale.
Sorry if I'm not relieved.
It seems as if this plan had been studied about as closely as the Iraqi war plan, and Sec Rumsfeld, who was supposed to be part of the board that passes this plan, claims that he wasn't there. Perfect attendance these guys don't have. They must be too busy shooting people or something.
Sen. Clinton, in true form, also eased back from her partisan position, giving Bush a bit more room to weasel out, calling this a "failure of judgment" on the part of administration. Someone should have handed her the memo explaining that this is all a failure of intelligence. Human intelligence. Thankfully New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine (or Gov. Bloomberg as I like to call him) filed suit in federal court today which will force the White House to properly investigate the matter.
Which ever way you dole it out, believe me this will be in the headlines for weeks to come as the crisis in Iraq reaches a head. Exit plan anyone? Or was that Exit Wounds? Gotta love DMX.
