1. But why would the large players do that?
Because they are in control of Bush right now. And it doesn't matter if the ownership of a company happens to be French or German or Japanese, they all have significant interests/companies in the US and have 'lobbied' their way into politics. So they have no reason whatsoever to flush Bush, because he is controlled by them.

Just because HQ is not US doesn't mean that they don't have a stake. Most corporations have companies/ownerships all over the world and the US is their prime asset with the current lobbying power they have.
