The Bush administration’s PR failure in regard to the Dubai ports deal has reached a new height. The President just finished a major address to the American Legion this morning on the global war on terror. With such a stage and wide media coverage, that would have been a perfect setting to make his case a little. While one wouldn’t expect a war on terror speech to go defensive on the ports deal, Bush had a golden opportunity to say something positive about UAE’s role in the effort and go on the offense against the critics. But not a word about the subject on everyone’s mind. Returning to the regular war on terror nostrums is admirable, and something the President should regularly do anyway. But wishing that something isn’t a crisis doesn’t make it so.
