In Defeat for Bush, House Will Vote on Port Deal
Karl Rove has been working overtime twisting Republican arms to prevent an up or down vote on the deal to turn over management of major US ports to a company owned by the United Arab Emirates goverment.

Bush vowed to veto any legislation that interfered with the deal. Let's see if he has the nerve to do it.
