The pending sale of six US ports is the latest news that has both sides of the aisle arguing and Bush critics talking smack. The argument is that selling the ports to a foreign company (Dubai Ports World) that happens to be located in the Middle East puts the US at risk. First of all we all need to understand that selling the ports to Dubai Ports World won't really change anything except who profits and who sign the checks. The security of the ports will remain under the oversight of the Department of Homeland Security, regardless of who runs the ports. Bush says that the government has reviewed the sale and concluded that it is not a threat to national security.

Among the lawmakers from both parties threatening to hold up the deal is Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. Senator Frist's caution makes me wonder if there's a need for a more thorough review of this deal. Personally I don't think that Bush would put himself on the line after what the media did to him after 9-11, Harrient Myers, and Katrina. What do you think?
