If Bush is so TOUGH on National Security, Then Why?

Why isn't every container which comes into our ports screeened?

Oh yes, the Administration will say that to screen every container would stop the international commerce system. Bah!

Japan screens 100% of containers which come in its port. If we are so adept and smart then why do we only scrreen 5%?

Something is greatly amiss here. Either the trumpeters of this fallacy are "tone deaf" or Japan exaggerates.

Remember Japan makes reliable and affordable cars, something Detroit has forgotten how to do.

Bush would say that UAE has made "progress" on terrorism. However, how much is progress, what is progress, and how much will progress continue by UAE. Does progress by UAE means it went from 1% to 4%, is that progress? Once this deal is consummated, does progress stop by UAE afterall, UAE would have the cookie it wants?

Where was National Seurity on this deal? Where was Bush? If Cheney is so good on foreign policy, where was his voice? Oh yes, Cheney was out shooting his friends in the face.
