The Port Story - Enough Part II

Sorry Richie. I had one LAST thought about the ports. In general I'm a free trader, but at the same time I'm a hawk on national security. So what happens when these two thoughts collide? Of course If I thought this port company was a real risk to national security, I'd be against it. But the more I read about it, the more I do not think this company is any more of a threat to our national security than would be any British or American company.

I'm still going through the facts, and haven't made up my mind on it, but I agree with Richie - this story is way overblown. It's a great way for the MSM to make GW look bad, regardless of the outcome.

DJ Drummond at Polipundit has a must read for those interested in getting some non-MSM info on the deal.
