GOP Rep: Port Deal Not Investigated Beforehand

According to USA Today-On Deadline, GOP Rep. Peter King says the Bush administration failed to investigate the ports deal before approving it.

Rep. Peter King, a New York Republican, told radio ranger Don Imus this morning that contrary to what President Bush and administration officials have been telling the public, the Dubai port deal was not scrutinized first, according to officials involved.

This is yet another example of a troubling lack of character in the Bush administration.  As in the case with Hurricane Katrina, they fail to take actions to keep up safe, and then when they get caught failing us, they lie about the situation.

Our country could probably survive their incompetence.  It's their dishonesty that may be our undoing.
