Here is Instapundit this afternoon,
SO NOW BUSH IS THREATENING TO VETO any legislation that would block the Dubai ports deal? Either this deal is somehow a lot more important than it seems (a quid pro quo for, well, something . . . ) or Bush is an idiot. Your call.
On Pundit Review Radio this weekend, actually, the hour following our interview with Instapundit on his new book An Army of Davids, we discussed this port deal and speculated that it could be a quid pro quo in order to gain the support of a moderate Arab nation for our inevitable bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities.
That’s as good a reason as any I’ve heard for the administrations silly defense of this deal. What do you think?
