Of Seaports and Security

A United Arab Emirates government-owned business is set to take over running SIX major American ports and:
Bush said the seaports arrangement is "a legitimate deal that will not jeopardize the security of the country."
Yeah, well... I'm having some trouble buying that. Bush's track record on "Homeland Security" and honesty are abysmal.

Jan. 24, 2006 — Documents released today by Congress show that two days before Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, the White House received detailed damage forecasts from Homeland Security officials predicting that the city's levees might be overtopped or breached.

Yet in the days after the storm struck on Aug. 29, federal officials, including President Bush, said the levee breaches could not have been foreseen.

And in spite of the Aug. 6, 2001 PBD wasn't Bush the guy who said no one could have imagined terrorist flying planes into the World Trade Towers?
