Report: Bush Loyalist Comes Out Against Port Deal

Wow, President Bush has virtually no support for this port deal. Even some of his most ardent supporters are now coming out against the deal, which is a real threat to our security.

Big time Bush man Duncan Hunter is even against the deal:

One of the most prominent House Republicans on military issues said Thursday he would try to scuttle a Dubai-owned company's effort to manage U.S. ports as lawmakers' complaints about the Bush administration's handling of the issue continued to spread.

''Dubai cannot be trusted,'' said Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.), chairman of the House Armed Services Committee and normally one of the administration's most trusted allies.

He called Dubai, part of the United Arab Emirates, ''a bazaar for terrorist nations'' and asserted that the United States should not permit DP World to take over significant operations at six ports.

''I intend to do everything I can to kill the deal,'' Hunter said.

Mr. President, it is time to scap this deal!
