Mixed Signals

Why, just tell me why...
Why did Bush pointedly call reporters to the cabin of Air Force One and forcefully threaten to veto any law passed that would prohibit the United Arab Emirates from purchasing the rights to manage US ports?

He said, "I want those who are questioning it to step up and explain why all of a sudden a Middle Eastern company is held to a different standard than a [British] company," Bush told reporters.

Might the fact that it isn't simply a company but a foreign government with questionable prior dealings have anything to do with the objections?

Why would someone so forcefully threaten a veto if he only learned about the transaction in recent days?

Something just isn't right. posted by Cyndy | link | | |
