Cover for the White House?
Why has no one (reporters)followed the money trail to see which of Bush's cronies will be benefiting from THIS Multi-million dollar sale. That would be the only way he would be pushing so hard; is if he or Chaney were benefiting somehow.

Thanks Jackie for bringing the silent partners to my attention. I would like to know who this US entity is, and who are its major investors? Since I am a taxpayer, I consider myself a minor shareholder in the US government. I am now curious about US assets owned by foreign investors. Is there a fiduciary responsibility for the government to disclose full information about foreign investors? I would like to know what would happen to these assets if the US were to default on its payments.
Overlooked by the media is the lack of containment of warfare in that region spilling across multiple borders. Does anyone consider the potential of a full-scale regional conflict? What would happen to our port assets, and could a regional war affect Dubai or non-US investors of our ports and other critical assets?

No back out they just changed the name so Americans wouldn't know the deal is on. Its called silent partners where you don't have to release the owners name but use a front name who has a very small interest. It works and its part of Business as usual.
