Is Neil the link between Bush crime cartel and Dubai ports deal? (dkos)

Is Neil the link between Bush crime cartel and Dubai ports deal?

Since the Dubai Ports World deal was announced, there was lots of speculation as to the motives behind it. More specifically, many people (myself included) thought that this reeked of cronyism and that there was obviously something that would be a direct benefit to the Bush crime cartel.

It was reported how there was a connection between Dubai Ports World, Treasury Secretary John Snow, Carlyle and others.

But now, the dots seem to be connected right back to the Bush family via Carlyle and little brother Neil and his educational software company, Ignite!

I'll try to connect the dots in a cohesive manner below. It's a bit long, but hopefully not too long winded....

rest of story here:

2. I wouldn't doubt it - Neil Bush is a criminal -
can you say SILVERADO Savings and Loan? The cockroach moved out of Colorado under cover of darkness when that scandal hit. The whole family is just disgusting. Liars. Cheats. Thieves. And we want them to run the country. No wonder things are in such bad shape. And people act surprised. SHEEP!

5. The only thing they are good at
is bankrupting businesses and stuffing their pockets with the money.

BushCo really puts these guys



to shame.

18. the timing for the Gulf War
was very coincidental...Neil was to have been indicted, but suddenly we were plunged in the midst of a war and his little picadillo was overlooked and we as citizens spent billions to bail him out. Thanks for the great article DKOS

9. More (summary) from the clammyc diary
Tying It All Together

As with most things that the Bush crime cartel are involved with, there are a number of layers to peel back before the vile stench shows through. With HW Bush, Carlyle is always a good place to start, but the direct connection wasn't there for the Dubai Ports deal - just the investments by Dubai in Carlyle. And as it seems with this family, there is always someone that can grease the skids for another. Witness the NCLB law signed by DumbYa leading to Jeb wanting brother Neil's Ignite! software in the FL schools as the latest example.

So by following the money and the links, the same people's names keep popping up. Not only from Iraq war contracts coordinated by Diligence LLC or New Bridge Strategies, but also other billions of dollars per year revenue streams from the UAE.

Neil's contacts at the UAE make it easier for Dubai International and its subsidiaries to funnel money to Carlyle for "business ventures". And those same people at top positions at Carlyle hold top positions in multiple DC and Houston based lobbying and consulting firms that happen to also employ the services of a Mr. Neil Bush. Whose relationships with high level government officials in the UAE makes it easier for companies like Carlyle to do business in a country that happens to be the home of it's sole middle east office.

It is quite the tangled web they weave. Neil either doesn't know or doesn't care that he is being used because he gets lots of money for doing very little. And those who are using him (both the UAE and his business associates here in the US) set themselves up for millions, if not billions of dollars in business deals.

15. At the risk of third degree burns...
Could it be that the much maligned and misunderstood remarks of a certain Colorado professor of native American extraction begin to make sense, about now?
