What's the point?

The ports deal with the UAE company becomes final either tomorrow or Monday, regardless of the 45-day review.

UPDATE: And then I come across this from Think Progress (via Suburban Guerrilla). See, back in 2002, Al Qaida wrote a letter to the UAE government acknowledging that the UAE government was well aware that Al Qaida infiltrated key agencies in that country.

Why the urgency to sign this ports deal? It's almost as if the Bush Administration is trying so hard to ensure another 9/11 --- or better yet --- a thwarted attempt, saved in the nick of time. All the better to ensure you continue to vote GOP in November, my pretties.
