When they say it's not about the money...

...you can be certain that it's about the money. Lucian Truscott IV explains why preznit is digging in his heels and waving his "veto stick" over the politically untenable Dubai Ports World deal.

UPDATE: Seems preznit's old friends are bailing him out, once again.

The United Arab Emirates company that was attempting to take over management operations at six U.S. ports announced today that it will divest itself of all American interests.

The announcement appears to head off a major confrontation that was brewing between Congress and the Bush administration over the controversial deal.

Another example of the administration's malfeasance will be quietly swept under the Senate cloak room rug.

Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.
