The President finally made public statements about the Dubai ports deal, unfortunetaly he is too late to save the failed proposal. Here's the story from CNN:
President Bush said Friday he was concerned about "the broader message" that the failed port operation deal with a United Arab Emirates company sends to other Arab allies in the U.S. war on terrorism.
"In order to win the war on terror, we've got to strengthen our relationships and friendships with moderate Arab countries in the Middle East," Bush told a meeting of the National Newspaper Association in Washington.
"The UAE is a committed ally in the war on terror. They are a key partner for our military in a critical region."
And here is the proof of that:
"Outside of our own country, Dubai [the UAE region where DP World is based] services more of our military ships than any country in the world," Bush said.
"We're sharing intelligence so we can hunt down the terrorists...I'm committed to strengthening our relationship with the UAE and explaining why its important to Congress and the American people."
Goodluck with that Mr. President. It seems appearant to me that the Democrats dont want allies unless they are European. Bush just needs to let this one go, talking about it now is just as bad as being silent before. The Damage has been done.
