More Port

There's something more going on here:

President Bush vowed Tuesday to veto any legislation that would block a state-owned Arab company from managing the operations at six large U.S. seaports, setting up a major confrontation between the White House and its usually steadfast Republican allies in Congress.

Bush's threat came as the top Republicans on Capitol Hill — Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee and House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert of Illinois — joined a chorus of lawmakers requesting that the port deal be reviewed because of national security concerns.


Is this the hill Our Glorious Leader™ wants to die on?

Where's Karl?
