Oh, not doubt. The biggest giveaway was the Cheney shooting. He told Karl Rove before he told W that he was the shooter. How ed up is that?

Bush Unaware of Ports Deal Before Approval
By TED BRIDIS
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush was unaware of the pending sale of shipping operations at six major U.S. seaports to a state-owned business in the United Arab Emirates until the deal already had been approved by his administration, the White House said Wednesday.
Defending the deal anew, the administration also said that it should have briefed Congress sooner about the transaction, which has triggered a major political backlash among both Republicans and Democrats.
Bush on Tuesday brushed aside objections by leaders in the Senate and House that the $6.8 billion sale could raise risks of terrorism at American ports. In a forceful defense of his administration's earlier approval of the deal, he pledged to veto any bill Congress might approve to block the agreement involving the sale of a British company to the Arab firm.
Bush faces a rebellion from leaders of his own party, as well as from Democrats, about the deal that would put Dubai Ports in charge of major shipping operations in New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, New Orleans, Miami and Philadelphia.
While Bush has adamantly defended the deal, the White House acknowledged that he did not know about it until recently.
``He became aware of it over the last several days,'' McClellan said. Asked if Bush did not know about it until it was a done deal, McClellan said, ``That's correct.'' He said the matter did not rise to the presidential level, but went through a congressionally-mandated review process and was determined not to pose a national security threat.

I'd like to here from George W Bush on the matter
Is it after noon yet? Yeah, I guess he'll be along soon.
Oh, yeah. I forgot about Dubya's mid-morning nap after finger painting.
He's a doofus.
Well son, this notion that I don't know what's goin' on in my own White House is ridiculous, I mean, it couldn't be further from the truth. And, by the way, it's just not true. However, all possibilities are on the table.
Yes, I find out what's happenin' after the fact, from Karl Rove,
but at least I know about it.
I look to Fox News to let me know what I'm doin' and what I'm up to.
Frankly, they've done a heck of a job.
What did you hear, by the way?
However, I would like to say, I don't much like ports anyhow.
They make me sea-sick.
Now, finger paintin' is a growing sport. And I reject any criticisms towards it. In fact, I'm now declarin' that we spread finger paintin' to all nations startin'with Iran.
I'm George W Bush and I approve whatever the I just said
Now, let's hear Yoni defend Dubya.
It should surprise no one that our current president has no clue what is happening on any given subject.
Yoni ? Vashner? Neocon?
Brahahahahahahaha!!!!!
Aren't port deals a private issue and require only a select amount of government oversight. I think the Office of HS, the FBI were enough to oversee this. We dont have to have presidential meetings and congressional hearings for every single transaction in this country.
Oh, yeah. I forgot to come up with a good photoshop image. Sorry i couldn't contribute to this great debate.<sarcasm>
