But wouldn't that lead to a "scandal" because the CFI would then over step it's bounds? And people would be screaming for Bush's head because he interfered in how the law said things should be done (say for instance the CFI approves the economic part of it and the FBI or CIA approves the terrorist threat part of it).
I think you and I both know that "securing America's interest" reason for Bush doing that would be thrown out the window in hopes of getting him impeached or smearing his name even more.
In this particular case, I would think not, although in other cases you could very well be right.
No one in their right mind would criticize anyone in government for coming out against a deal with the bin Laden company.
As I said, approval of a deal like that would be a public relations disaster because
everyone would be against it.
I think that's the type of reaction that we're likely to see in the case described in the article, also.
Clearly, the Dems will be against it if for no other reason than to be critical of Bush. And if he squashes the deal, i can't see anyone criticizing him for doing what they think he should do in the first place.
You're a Republican. Isn't your reaction to be against the deal also? Do you think that people like Don Smitty or Double-J or Don Cardi will be in favor of it?
