Fox News is reporting that President Bush is threatening to veto any bill that might threaten the deal to turn over several major U.S. ports to a UAE state owned management company.  Damn we must owe them big time!

My advice to Congress is  slap that legislation together and make him go through with his threat-- there are few downsides to taking on an unpopular and out of touch lame duck President over a questionable political deal (feel free to mention post-9/11 viewpoint here) that has clear national security implications.  Besides, can there be a more empty threat then George W. Bush saying he'll veto something?  One of the only President in history who hasn't vetoed anything in six years in office? 

If he feels so strongly about it make George W. Bush go out on a limb and fight for a deal most Americans, let alone his supporters, would find simply incomprehensible after he's beaten the 9/11 horse to death for almost five years.
