“I don’t understand why it’s OK for a British company to operate our ports but not a company from the Middle East (UAE) when we’ve already determined security is not an issue,” Bush told reporters aboard Air Force One after Frist urged the administration to block the deal.
Let me explain it to you in terms you can understand, Mr. President. Remember the whole “if you’re not with us, you’re against us” speech when you went to “war” against Iraq? Yeah, UAE is not one of those countries that was with us. The British however, was with us, to its bitter end. If you still need an explanation, please call me.
