Starving GOP and The Dubai Bone

Does anyone believe for one minute that this administration could have been as politically deaf and dumb as to allow an arab country that claims two of the 9-11 hijackers, funneled money through their banks to the terrorists and was only one of three countries in the world that supported the terrorist taliban government in Afghanistan to take over major American ports. They say it changed on 9-11, that is, that the UAE began to support us but the unbelievable irresonsibility of it is that our government believes that the UAE would not turn around under more middle-east turmoil and oppose us again. You see the same people that supported the taliban are the ones that also want to manage 6 or our major ports. No one was voted out of office in the UAE. The same Emir that ruled before 9-11, when they SUPPORTED THE TALIBAN, still rules now. It is the height of irresponsibility that the Bush Administration was willing to allow such a transaction but it is probably not their true intention as is the prospect of giving the Republicans in Congress something to claim they acted on in the national interest in order to counter all the negative publicity as of late. Bush has little to lose and is not running again but his Republican congressman are. The rich have recieved much favorable legislation the last 5 years and they have a lot to lose to a democratic congress. Money people are hopp'in all over the place and ...strings are being pulled. I mean, can this administration be that stupid not to recognize the futility of promoting Dubai Ports except to throw their congressman a bone? Well...
