Broken record

When George Bush says something this many times, you know he's lying.

President George W. Bush said on Tuesday he stood by his view that a deal
to allow a Dubai-based company to run U.S. ports did not pose a security
threat.

Yeah, and "there's no doubt in my mind (warrantless surveillance) is legal." And "we do not torture." And "the Kyoto treaty would have wrecked our economy." And "this economy is strong." And on and on and on.

The old joke goes "How can you tell when George Bush is lying? His lips are moving." But it appears the real answer is "he says the same thing over and over." So, given his history, his repeated assurances that the ports deal doesn't threaten security are anything but reassuring.
