Putting Bush in his place!

Finally, a Congress that will put these incompetent fools in their place! If they would have done this 4 1/2 years ago this country would be in far better shape than it is now. It's great to see this administration squirm with their loss of political clout. When only 35% of the country backs them, they should be required to listen to what the other 65% demand!

The United Arab Emirates company at the center of the U.S. ports controversy volunteered to postpone its management of operations at six major seaports, but eight Republican and Democratic senators said Friday they plan to push emergency legislation next week to require congressional approval of the contract. The legislation would: -Require that President Bush place a stay on Dubai Ports World's management of the ports, which had been handled by London-based P&O ports, a company recently acquired by Dubai Port World. -Require the Treasury's Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States to begin a 45-day investigation on the port deal's potential impact on national security. -Require Homeland Security and the Treasury to prepare a report and brief members of Congress on their findings. Upon receiving the report, Congress would have the authority to disapprove the management contract within 30 days. The legislation was outlined in a statement by Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., who said he was being joined by Republican Sens. Susan Collins, Norm Coleman and Olympia Snowe, and Democrats Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid and Robert Menendez. Five Democrats and three Republicans

And now we learn that the deal involves 21 ports and not six. Did the administration spend the last seven days defending DP World in its takeover of six ports while they knew the entire time it actually covered 3 1/2 times that many? Unbelievable.
