Bush Threatens to Veto Any Bill to Stop Port Takeover - New York Times

Ok, so Mr. Bush has yet to veto anything - no pork vetos, no vetoes of the "poorly performing" entitlement programs he decries, nada. (Using my Bushspeak secret decoder ring - I translate "poorly performing" programs as "programs performing for the poor.")

Funny he'd dust off the pen to threaten the veto of these possible bills, as the port sale to a UAE based conglomerate stands to further profit his families billionaire cronies in the mideast.

As for Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld's praise of the UAE as an "important strategic military partner", that may be the case this year. Wasn't it just a twenty years or so ago that Saddam Hussein's Iraq was being touted as an important strategic military parter of the US in the mideast?

Has Bush forgotten that a significant amount of the money used in the 9/11 attacks was laundered though our "strategic military partners" of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emiriates?

Oh, that's right, he helped all those folks fly out of the country in the days after 9/11...

Ever the syncophantic toady, maybe he just want to perform for the rich, regardless of where they're from?
