Dubai Ports world LIES. Intends to KEEP PORTS. Bush deeply involved!

[benburch]

We and everybody else were lied to. The "American Entity" they intend to sell to is their wholly-owned american subsidiary.

Is this the sort of slimy trash we have come to expect from the Seditious Republicans and their foreign masters, or what?

[BuyingThyme]

1. I'm just signing on. Is there a link?

If this is true, Americans will eat it up...if they're smart enough to get it.

[benburch]

3. Randi Rhodes is talking about it. nt

[in_cog_ni_to]

2. LOL! Holy shit....wait until Dobbs gets wind of this!

He will DESTROY this administration! Where did you hear this?

[TomInTib]

6. I heard it on Lou Dobbs. But this has been known since last week.

It just wasn't public, yet.

[liveoaktx]

26. VIDEO from Dobbs

[Just Me]

4. No shit. I knew that's what they were going to do!

And that asshole party called "Republican" has many MANY members who were prepared to cover up the whole damn thing!!!!

EW!!! :grr:

[helderheid]

5. K & R!

[RB TexLa]

7. Don't worry the Neo-Whigs will be hounding them like

I don't know a KKK member at a lynching.

[mom cat]

8. I an so shocked.

Not.

[GrpCaptMandrake]

9. Yep!

I was talking about this very thing last week on "Head-On"

We didn't actually think they WOULDN'T do this, did we?

[benburch]

11. I certainly thought it would go down like this.

But suspecting somebody of a crime and catching them with the bloody knife are two different things.

[Just Me]

10. Hope Dobbs stay on this.

He said he would.

[tsuki]

12. The new RNC talking point.

We're fighting them over there, so we can sell them over here.

[Cleita]

13. No surprise here.

I said it before that they were backing off too easily and that they had something up their sleeves. I thought they would put Halliburton in charge and Dubai Ports would be subcontracted by Halliburton, but this is even more arrogant than that. They don't feel they have to hide what they are doing very much anymore.

[Penndems]

23. Ditto

See #11, my post.

[annabanana]

14. remember "without incurring financial loss"..... ?

That little line was in the very letter that was read on the floor of the Senate when all the Repug's said "Whew! I'm glad that's over. They specifically said they weren't going to take any kind of a hit financially

Well, this is how they planned to do it.

[Canuckistanian]

15. So, all this talk about Halliburton was pure BS?

Not that pure BS is unusual from them.

[babsbunny]

16. Maybe Keith Olbermann will talk about it!

He's coming on in a minute!

[Canuckistanian]

17. Damn, I don't get him up here

I'll have to wait for the video...

[buddysmellgood]

24. UAE probably owns Halliburton in some way. They certainly are Cheney's

assmasters.

[malaise]

18. Keep following the money

We all knew this - do I hear Carlyle???

[TahitiNut]

19. Of course. Why else would they use the phrase "American entity"??

That's a euphemistic phrase, at best. When I heard Warner try to slip past that phrase, I thought "Oh, I see. A wholly-owned subsidary, huh? Go it." Enron didn't invent the corporate shell-game, y'know.

"I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!" :eyes:

[Dr. Jones]

20. The Repubs in Congress BETTER object to this!

Exactly what we all thought...wow...a ruse! No wonder DP World went away so quietly without much mention of retaliation.

SOMEBODY BLAST THIS TO THE MEDIA, PRONTO!! And to CONGRESS TOO!

This MUST be addressed in Congress!

[misternormal]

21. A LIE???

Not from this administration :sarcasm:

[Dr. Jones]

22. And another thing - BUSH LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!

He told us that DP World offered to sell their U.S. operations to a "U.S. Entity." He told us it would damage relations, national security, etc. Meanwhile, HE KNEW THE WHOLE TIME that DP World had NO INTENTION of following through!

IMPEACHABLE LIE to Congress and the American People! Congress better WAKE UP and IMPEACH NOW!

[buddysmellgood]

25. We all knew this "entity" crap was bullshit. I couldn't believe the press

would swallow that. Now we'll see who can report and who rolls over.

[bridgit]

27. Bush's brother Neil, is deeply involved, forget the cat; that's the dude..

that needs to have a bell put round his neck = Neil Bush x(

[TomInTib]

28. The "dude" here is named James A Baker III. That's why this...

has been a done deal since day one.

And do not forget Vin Weber.

[bridgit]

31. Neil was said to have received funds through Dubai that were...

ear-marked, by hook or crook as it turns out, through Bush's own 'no child left behind' otherwise unfunded mandate...

James A Baker III? what a shock :sarcasm:

it's the guys you never see, or question that will curl your hair in the bfee imo

[TomInTib]

32. Baker is lead council (Baker, Botts), Weber is point man...

chief lobbyist.

Here is some dated info on Weber:

[bridgit]

33. oh yes, Baker's pro bio used to be on exhibit over at Carlyle as...

recently as a couple years ago, but i see now it has been lifted; there's little doubt in my mind that he provides services as 'a friend' of such deals so as to say: http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2006/2/23/14935/2494

[progressoid]

29. Yep - Wait a few months and nobody will notice.

Sadly, it might just work.

[Rainscents]

30. I heard tonight on local news...

Dubai Ports owns 12 ports here in Seattle area and no one knew about this! Can you believe this shit? Back door buy out?

[benburch]

34. Time to seize those assets.

We need to nationalize ALL of our port facilities.

[RB TexLa]

35. OMG, you mean they have been there and they haven't set off

a nuke yet? or started shooting Americans?

You mean they have just been operating things and wanting to do business with us?

I mean, how COULD that be???? How could they have not set off a bomb? I mean surely they would have done that the first chance they had to do it, wouldn't they??????



:puke:

[benburch]

36. Could you *be* more rude? nt
