The random political thoughts thread

[Gemini Cricket]

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.

I'm confused by this. So he didn't know about it before it was approved but now is going to veto anyone who tries to stop it?

Huh
