Bush Is Afraid to Nix the UAE Deal

Bush would rather insult the American people intelligence than to say NO to the UAE deal. I wonder why is that?

The oil-rich United Arab Emirates is a major investor in The Carlyle Group, the private equity investment firm where President Bush’s father once served as senior adviser and is a who’s who of former high-level government officials. Just last year, Dubai International Capital, a government-backed buyout firm, invested in an $8 billion Carlyle fund.

Another family connection, the president’s brother, Neil Bush, has reportedly received funding for his educational software company from the UAE investors. A call to his company was not returned.


Another administration connection, President Bush chose a Dubai Ports World executive to head the U.S. Maritime Administration. David Sanborn, the former director of Dubai Ports’ European and Latin American operations, he was tapped just last month to lead the agency that oversees U.S. port operations.


Then there is the cabinet connection. Treasury Secretary John Snow was chairman of railroad company CSX/. After he left the company for the White House, CSX sold its international port operations to Dubai Ports World for more than a billion dollars.
In Connecticut today, Snow told reporters he had no knowledge of that CSX sale. “I learned of this transaction probably the same way members of the Senate did, by reading about it in the newspapers.”


Is Bush going to scare the American people into "accepting" this deal by making us think UAE will retaliate by bombing us?

Is the Bush admistration Pimping itself?

Bush has done a good job of indoctrinating us with Fear, Terrorism, and Bombings. Now he wants us to forget those words and accept this deal. Is Bush SCHIZOPHRENIC.
