I Sure Hope the White House Doesn't Screw This Up

So President Bush has been handed a gift-wrapped "get out of jail free card".

Dubai-owned Dubai Ports (DP) World has agreed to transfer operations for 6 U.S. ports (New York, Newark, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Miami and New Orleans) to an American-owned "entity". Now the President can stop insisting that he'll veto any attempt to block DP World's acquisition of British firm Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation Co.

The White House must be breathing a sigh of relief on that news. It has been facing opposition from both sides of the aisle.

However, with how the White House has been screwing up its PR lately, I wouldn't be surprised if port operations are transferred to the American-owned "entity" called Halliburton.
