Dick 'Toesucker' Morris on Dubai port deal: Trust Bush.

[edbermac]

During the February 27 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, in response to co-host Alan Colmes's statement that the public may not be getting the whole story regarding the port deal involving a company owned by the government of Dubai, a member state of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Fox News political analyst Dick Morris said that "this is one area where he has earned the right to be taken on faith."

From the February 27 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes:

COLMES: So, what is the political price that the Bush administration will pay for this deal? Joining us now, former Clinton adviser Dick Morris. We just got word tonight, Dick, the Coast Guard has said that their intelligence assessment says there are many intelligence gaps in this. Susan Collins of Maine says it's astounding. In December, they have all these gaps; a month later, no more gaps. Clearly, we're not getting the whole story here.

MORRIS: Alan, like you, there are many things the Bush administration does that I do not approve of. But unlike you, the one thing I trust them on is the war on terror. And I believe we make a fundamental misconception -- which is, we assume that the war on terror is basically to be waged by homeland security as a defensive operation. A terribly important part of the reason why we haven't been attacked is the offense that's going on in Iraq and Afghanistan militarily and with the UAE and Kuwait diplomatically. They turned over the Cole bomber to us, and they are an important ally of the United States, even though they're Arabs.

....

MORRIS: I think that stuff is very possible. And I think that there are so many levels of dealing with the UAE government that it is -- that Bush can't talk about, that I believe this is one area where he has earned the right to be taken on faith.
