Reuters AlertNet - Bush says Dubai port deal should go forward: "Source: Reuters
ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE, Feb 21 (Reuters) - President George W. Bush said on Tuesday that a deal for a state-owned Dubai company to manage major U.S. ports should go forward and will not jeopardize U.S. security.

Bush told reporters traveling back to Washington with him from Colorado that he would veto legislation to stop the deal from going through.

'After careful review by our government, I believe the transaction ought to go forward,' Bush said. He added that if the U.S. Congress passed a law to stop the deal, 'I'll deal with it with a veto.'"
