Reply #2: Seriously, this deal has been in the works since November.

If this regime was politically COMPETENT they'd have used that time to explain why DPW should be allowed to run these ports - even if they just told GOP reps & senators.

But they did nothing. To bushites, this is just another business deal. They can't conceive of why anyone would be opposed to this. After all, it's being sold at a profit to people willing to pay.

Just another business deal - like the Bush family's blood feud with Saddam & Iraq, and their mutual admiration with the Saudi royal family, and the cross investments between them and the bin Laden family.
