5. "Giving up" my ass!
It's the typical WH hoodwink, but nobody's falling for it now. It ain't over, not by a damn sight.

2. Right!
Since Wrong says this should resolve it, that means the deal needs beaucoup more scutiny...

10. Now there's the matter of foreign control over U.S. airlines
http://www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/bw-cong/2006/mar/09/030909780.html

Resistance to foreign ownership of U.S. port operations spilled over into the aviation arena when a key congressional committee told the Bush administration to postpone a plan to allow more foreign control of domestic airlines.

The House Appropriations Committee on Wednesday passed a resolution directing the Transportation Department to hold off for 120 days on its proposal to give foreign investors in U.S. airlines more latitude to influence management decisions.

11. Why aren't we being told what the "U.S. entity" is that will
take it over? Too early to tell us it is Halliburton? Ah, we'll learn that next week; maybe even tomorrow.

13. I'm sorry,but I'm unable to comprehend what the White House
statement means. There is no Ports deal but the issue of management remains uncontrolled.

14. Bush: "I don't know anything about this but the matter is resolved!"
Not an actual quote but one that could very well come out of this dunderhead.

15. Oh let me guess
another Halliburton "no bid" or will it be their sub KB&R or are they filing papers now for a new subsidiary just for the ports, with a heavy board position for Cheney, should he retire early or whenever.
