Rovian tactics Re:Dubai Ports Deal, With poll

I wondered what the Rovian purpose behind the Dubai Ports Deal actually was.  It seems that the US entity at the top of the list for assuming control of the ports is Kellog, Brown and Root.  Yes that is the subsidiary of Halliburton that is alleged by some to be quite corrupt.

I have some hope that Democrats will insist on open bidding for the ports contract, but I am not holding my breath.  I fear we have spent our political capital blocking Dubai without giving adequate consideration to the aftermath.  I don't know about you, but I would almost feel better with Dubai at the helm than Dick Cheneys best friends.
