Bush unaware of Dubai ports deal before approval
Wed Feb 22, 2006 6:39 PM ET


By Tabassum Zakaria
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush did not know about a deal to hand over operations at six major U.S. ports to an Arab company until after his administration had approved it, the White House said on Wednesday.

Surprised by a backlash from Bush's own Republican Party, the White House said it was a mistake not to explain to Congress the administration's approval of the sale decried by lawmakers as a risk to national security.

U.S. Treasury Secretary John Snow also told reporters he did not know of the decision even though he chairs the committee that approved the sale of British-based P&O to Dubai Ports World based in the United Arab Emirates

1. Duh.
Bush can't be bothered with all sorts of presidential duties. Maybe he was too busy catching up on his reading.

5. This is getting pretty ridiculous...
Bush didn't know, Rummy didn't know, and now Snow says he didn't know. Who in the hell is in charge? Who approved it? Must be Cheney.
