Streamlining the Homeland Attack
I’m sure you have heard about the U.S. selling the managment of 6 U.S. ports to the UAE. In response to the issue, Bush questions “It’s OK for a British company to manage ports, but not OK for a company from a country that’s also a valuable partner”. Hmmm….last I checked, in your eyes, Britain was your #1 “valuable partner” and UAE was the country that funded Osama Bin Laden.
Anyhow, no Dibbleya post would be complete without some memorable quotes. This one was doozy, and I assume (and hope) that he simply misspoke. To clarify, these are actual quotes from the linked CNN article:
1.) Referring to debate over foreign operations of U.S. ports, President Bush says “people don’t need to worry about security.”
2.) “This deal wouldn’t go forward if we were concerned about the security of the United States of America,” Bush told reporters during a Cabinet meeting.
3.) He added, “It’s really important that we not send mixed messages to allies.”
Mixed messages? When did we ever send those?

Much Apu about nada. The only thing that is going to change is the logo on the paychecks of port workers.

I agree. I would have titled the post to insinuante Bush is a moron, but alas, I have run out of creativity on that front.
