Think Dubai Ports World & all its other companies--think Carlyle Group
This is just one story (Forbes) that connects the Bush family Carlyle group to Dubai interests. Do your own search.

Am sure many of you can come up with more stories, information and connections.

This particular article also names many other US corporations involved in Dubai company dealings. Basically, (and obviously), the selling of the US is top priority of the BushCo. Our nation, our economy, our people are being traded all for the growth of this ultimate and modern version of highway robbery. :mad:

Dubai Inc.

The final piece in the investment jigsaw, Dubai International Capital, was designed to invest Dubai's fiscal tsunami in hot properties around the world. Some of the cash went into major private equity funds. KKR, Carlyle Group, JP Morgan and the Newbridge/Texas Pacific Group--all became beneficiaries of this largesse over the past two years.

1. Well of course. This isn't just a coincidence that rich oil owning
arabs just might feel 'itch' to invest in America. Hell no, not when they can get traitors to sell the whole country out from under us.

2. I have believed
from the first report about this that the ports deal was to primarily benefit the BFEE and little else. The threat to veto any legislation (over a ports deal?) only served to confirm my suspicions.
