Slick Willie Covers All Bases on the UAE Ports Issue

I guess this is another example of the triangulation strategy we saw so much of from the Clintons when they were in the White House.
While Hillary breaks crystal and makes dogs cover their heads with their paws with her shrill objections to the UAE ports takeover, the other Clinton has advised Dubai officials on how to sooth American anxieties.
Slick Willie recommended the 45-day delay to allow for congress to investigate, possibly based on the theory that by then the media will have lost interest and no one will remember to object.
Not that Mr. Clinton is not on board with Mrs. Clinton's proposed legislation to block the UAE takeover. According to his spokesman, Clinton supports Shrillary's position on the issue and believes that state-owned companies should not own American port operations.
Meanwhile, Fox News reports that according to the chief operating officer of Dubai Ports World, Bill called a member of the Dubai royal family and lobbied to have his former press secretary Joe Lockhart hired as the emirate's Washington spokesman to help push through the deal.
